[S1 - Eps. 113] METEORA in GREECE

[@robinsherlock6678]

The shock on the guy's face on the pedestrian crossing when someone actually stopped was priceless.

[@volneisilva1199]

I've noticed that too.

[@S.Dreamer]

In Greece, we don't use ti stop in pedestrian crossings. Even if we want, we must check for the following car, for it may hits as from behind (as they expect us to not stop). Especially if it's a double line roadside, the other vehicle (to your side) may not stop and hit the croasing person. So, watch out when you drive in these streets.

[@1Rene9Night5cart0]

Watching 3+ years later, since your channel 'popped up' several weeks ago. What an amazing, intrepid and adventurous Soul and Lady you are ! Thank you for all the visual feasts of your Incredible Odysseys, and may GOD always Watch over you and keep you safe.

Hi Noraly I have sent a note of your travels to some of my contacts at Royal Enfield India they need to make you an Ambassador ASAP. Stay safe

[@patgill4968]

I did that same route as part of my honeymoon in 1975, drove from the UK in my 1960 MGA, and again in 1977, still have the same car, and wife! no gps, no cell phone......just a tent and petrol coupons for Italy!

Yep, looks like I’m going to have to go to Greece now. This was just so beautiful. Thanks for the ride-along.

[@MrSkopelos27]

I've been binge watching all the way since episode 1 after episode 70something was recommended to me and I have enjoyed every single video. I'm Greek but have only been to Thessaloniki once to visit some friends and they took me exactly to this place at 1:16. I recognized it instantly when you showed it! Glad you enjoyed our country and thanks for the great videos!

[@lylemacdonald6672]

Noraly it occured to me that in terms of motorcycling touring/adventure riding RTW there are two approaches; hare vs. tortoise. The "hares" ride large powerful machines that allow for hard and fast riding. The "tortoise" approach is smaller bikes ridden slow but steady and one gets to enjoy the scenary a bit more. You are in the "tortoise" camp so PLEASE tell us you helped that poor tortoise to make it safely across the road! Slow but steady wins the race! Carry on Basanti!

[@eugenehallahan51]

Well put, speed isn't everything, especially when you want to take in the scenery and be comfortable driving a motorbike.

[@RVP1955]

I had to quit riding in 2002. This is the most fun I have had with a mc since then. Thanks Why in hell would anybody give Noraly a thumbs down.

[@FrankiesChannel]

Wow! I just knew the scenery in Greece was not going to disappoint. Just amazing country to explore. Thank you so much for bringing us along with you on this amazing journey.

[@mahesvartr1002]

me taking notes for travelling : 1 don't take high ways 2 buy food at bakery 3 search for lowest rated hotel 4 another day another country 5 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@kerby2333]

don't go to lowest rated hotels, they have low rating for a reason, bedbugs, mold, issues with hygiene etc..

[@Vara91391]

Here is the proper list: 1. Don't take Highways 2. Buy food depending on what your budget can afford you to buy 3. Search for hotel depending on your budget but NOT THE CHEAPEST !!!! 4. Another day another country seems good if you don't ride more than 400 km heh.

[@petefly3103]

@@Vara91391 Another day another country means no sightseeing and spending some time to look around, which is not travelling, just passing through ...

[@aristidezoides9616]

Fantastic, and not only do you present the varying beauty of the landscapes (which makes feel that I'm actually there) but the beauty of the people too. You are showing us what a beautiful world we really live in and we should appreciate and treasure this, respect one another. You are very inspirational.

[@deanhornet]

I was lucky to get a recommendation from KZbin for this channel. And now for almost I dunno how many days, I have seen many spectacular countries. Thank you Noraly and Basanti ❤️😊

[@kenhoward3512]

What a beautiful ride today. Having only seen the usual tourist-type photos of Greece and its islands, it was wonderful to be introduced to its gorgeous inland areas. And, as always, we ride along with the ideal travel partner.

[@konstantinosanastasiou4851]

Although a bit late to comment but all tourist island are shit, usually going to less touristy areas you will have a much better time, its the same for the mainland.

[@konstantinosanastasiou4851]

Or going any other time than summer, then there wil be no other tourist and its extremly nice.

[@petertakov]

@Itchy Boots Greece is such a marvellous country. I'm so lucky to live close by (Bulgaria). It has amazing mountains and great roads for motorcycling. Unfortunately, it seems you will miss most of them. If only it were not so HOT in summer ... but then, its great in autumn and spring when elsewhere is cold.

[@cruisemansgarage]

You are a great spokesperson for motorcycling. Love watching your adventures. Stay safe.

[@kevinviney7995]

It says a lot about your confidence, the country and arguably it's police riders that you waved (11:17) to one as you overtook! I'm fascinated to see your trip next to Albania. When I visited the country flying hot air balloons in the 90s after the revolution and fall of the dictator, our group had to bribe a senior police officer at the port to enter the country. I was then told by a chief of police following a landing 'without permission' on the edge of Tirana that I was now banned from flying in the capital, the country or the world ever again. So, I'm looking forward to see how things have improved from you and surely a world ambassador.

[@jpdj2715]

Loved the soundbite on how, geologically, the Meteora rocks were formed.

[@paulniotis6755]

Was really hoping you'd come down to Athens, but in any case, i'm glad you loved Meteora. :) If you're open to suggestions, tomorrow make a little excursion to Papiggo, where you'll cross the Voidomatis river with crystalline waters, you'll see the Vikos gorge and sip coffee in balconies full of flowers. Safe journeys and keep showing us amazing places.

That’s not a turtle, Myrtle, that’s a tortoise!

Yes, I noticed Noraly mentioning animals on her trips, either calling them cute, beautiful or really showing concern. She has a heart for children too. A lovely person with a big heart and a love for travel. She has inspired me to be more positive and always look at the upside of life.

[@mr.solitude3352]

Motorcyclists and moto vloggers can learn a lot from Noraly when it comes to wearing all of your gear all of the time (ATGATT). No matter what the temps or weather conditions may be. She is an excellent role model for ATGATT. Pay heed, two wheelers!

[@JeanMarcVANBELLE]

Please do not behave fundamental. She wears that and that is her choice. If other do not want to wear that, it is at own risk. i drive sometimes in t shirt in Bulgaria and Greece on my Kawasaki 1400GTR and then go running up to a mountain. When i come on highways or when i drive faster, i have all equipment in the biggest bags this ‘Conny’ has. Noraly does not say everybody has to be like her, do lot behave like a communist leader please! +je

Dear Norali, I have seen this tour since beginning. The great Alexander came from Macedonia to concur the world but his campaign was ended in India, however your campaign started from India has made you to concur half of the world and you have reached the Greece!! Norali the Great!!! Wish you super luck the super girl!!!!

[@Ptolemy336VV]

Hi Randhir. It makes you think how incredible Alexander was! To be such a general as he was is truly astounding. It's not for nothing that he's today recognized as the greatest general that ever lived, and influenced the world profoundly by spreading Greek civilization through it's 400 years long lasting Greek kingdom of Afghanistan and parts of Pakistan/India up to even the fact that the Buddha was first made by the Greeks, and for 1000 years the Greek buddha stream was the largest in all of Asia until the rise of Islam 1000 years later in the 7th century AD. But also through Alexander's 4 generals that each got a slice of his kingdom and for centuries became very successful and where Greek civilization kept influencing the ancient world. Truly remarkable to know that Noraly has been driving for months at a speed of a Motorcycle, and yet Alexander the Great did all that

[@r3tro889]

Hi Noraly! It was a pure pleasure to watch your trip from Thessaloniki to the Meteoros and though those little Greek towns, so clean and peaceful. I can't realize how you could do that loooong riding throughout Asia from East to West and then Europe. You are a true courageous young woman. Hearty congratulations Ms. Schoenmaker.

When my Wife is searching for an hotel, she always picks the highest rated and most expensive, then she show it me with a mixture of expectation and anger in her face. After a small dispute, we do a compromise to pick up a average hotel and short before we enter a city i change the route to the cheapest one i find before. I cant remember one single time when she was not happy with "our" choice.

Hi Noraly-I did a ride around Albania last August and it is a fantastic country, not yet ruined by tourism. The mountains north of Schodar are stunning, as is the small town of Theth, which is very difficult to reach on 2 wheels via the SH21. Despite what you hear of criminal gangs, everyone I met, without exception, were so friendly. Enjoy Albania, but ride with more care as you will find that in the towns, most of the driving is very poor!
