Shall I just do it? [S5 - Eps. 40]

In this episode I am following the Orange river again, but this time, on the Namibian side. Again, I see people digging for diamonds everywhere. Sometimes there are large mining operations and sometimes just a few tents on the side of the road and small diggings. But everybody here is looking for diamonds!

Thank You Noraly. You never fail to warm our hearts and inspire us with your awesome spirit.

[@davericketts9101]

I follow several motorcycle vlogs on KZbin and Itchy Boots has by far the best photography and amazing content, of any of them. It is also true to say that Noraly, is the only one that I have watched every single episode in the 5 series from start to finish and sometimes, more than once. Simply the BEST thing on KZbin. Total respect for her courage and outlook on life.

The background music, the sounds, the fading between them, the right choice of music. The comments.

Hi Noraly. There is a poem by Robert Frost, called The Road not taken. The sentence that, I think, applies perfectly to you is, "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less travelled". A wood or a desert, I think applies equally. Stay safe Noraly.
