  • In this episode, I start the long journey from Yaounde, the capital of Cameroon, to the border with Central African Republic. I choose the northern route, which proves to be a good choice, and the first 430 kilometers is new asphalt and I'm making quick progress. However, as soon as the dirt begins, the challenges start, and when it starts to rain, the jungle track become so slippery - it changes this day into a day, that I did not see coming..

    As a retired world traveler, what people need to understand is that people all over the world are just like you and I. They all just want to raise a family in peace and enjoy the company of friends. It is the people in power that run governments that brain wash it's citizens to do unspeakable things to others under the guise of morality for the sake of stacking power. Be kind to one another.

      @@SaneLogical I think there is an easy answer for all of these problems. It lays in any position of power over people. This is important to know because it is a key factor in job desire for 2 psych profiles. Psychopaths and Sociopaths. Religious leaders, Policeman, any public office, lawyer, are a few of the jobs in the top 10 choices for those psych profiles. I think this is why we have problems with Police doing things that any normal person with empathy for their fellow human would be appalled at. It is why we keep seeing "bad cops" do bad things. Until we get the tech to weed these 2 psycho profiles from any position that is one of public trust, we will continue to see things that enrage us. They are charismatic and manipulative. And we are the manipulated.

It would be about my escapades with this Dutch girl who keeps taking me to all these crazy, muddy places, losing parts along the way, stressing my shocks, brakes and clutch to the limit and, somehow, every day, I manage to pull through. In the meantime, Alaska harbors dreams about living in a heated garage, being squeaky clean and driving on paved roads on a glorious sunny day in springtime.

    All the cattle is en route to the Centrafrique to be sold there. The herders are Peuhls/Fulani. If you want to say hallo to them you can call Sanu!/ Sanu mon! when driving passed them. Safe travel onwards! I barely can wait for the next episode: your travel is a true cliff-hanger! And thank you for paying the tolls without grumbling: lots of work of the community went to make those bypasses. The main road is destroyed by trucks gettings stuck: they excavate them and do not refil the holes, sometimes very, very deep....Sometimes they stay there for years, alas...

    The truck at 6:50 would be used in the US for hauling logs. When empty, for convenience, they load the last part of the truck up on the back of the front part. When they get at their place to load, a crane takes off the second half and puts it attached to the front half (that long solid pole that stuck off the second half connects the two) and then you can transport really longer logs or whatever cargo they want.

      Just saw your comment Lucinda and couldn't agree more. We know her days in Africa are long and exhausting and it is so wonderful that Noraly dedicates time to read comments. I scan for her replies especially, as they are sometimes funny, blunt, and educational! She cannot be compared to anyone, and anyone cannot be compared to her! Peace

    Hello Noraly, I greatly admire your adventuresome spirit and tenacity!! My wife and I rode our KLR 650’s through 11 African Countries during 2016 and 2017. The last country we rode into was the CAR. It was in the middle of a civil war then and it was WILDLY dangerous. UN convoys were guarding all of the semi-trucks bringing supplies from Douala to Bangui. The city was under martial law. Even now I daily keep a very close watch on the happenings there and have contacts in Bangui. It is still very dangerous with rebels “having their way”. I urge you to consider a different country! Be Safe!

    Alaska didn’t know she was a cattle driving steed…Your days of sloppy weather sure show how tenacious you are in your travels. I so respect you. And doing it all on an empty stomach. I hope the next episode is inching your way to drier places. Great video, Noraly!

    Noraly masters just about everything from inclement weather, potholes, mud, driving rain, language barriers, you name it. Noraly finds a way through it to give you and me a dose of both off-road reality and sublime geography. I truly liked India better but this presents more challenge I suspect and Noraly thrives on it. Thank you Noraly for taking us along on your journey.

    Noraly, i have been to all these places right up to the Central African Republic from Cameroon. Those trucks are for carrying timber en route to Europe, North America and other Asian countries via the Douala port in Cameroon. Normally, you will find hundreds of those trucks on these roads on a normal day when the weather is dry.. It is amazing how much resources leave those supposedly poor countries to developed economies. This is one area very rich in natural resources that you will meet some of the poorest people in the world. I hope you passed through Batouri, Cameroon with Chinese and European gold mines everywhere while communities are living in poverty.

    I said this before and repeat: Your videos /journey is a Netflix league-type documentary. One day probably you'll be streaming there. Otherwise, they are losing oportunity to get engaged viewers. Producers: Look at what she'd already acomplished and what a beatiful/inspiring journey she's performing ! Pure gold. Good job, Noraly. Still praying for your health and security ...and more videos!!

    As I am watching your African solo ride going, apart from all the obstacles and difficult terrain you are facing and overcoming, there is something else that I see unfolding. I see, not only your riding prowess and physical strength growing but also your strength of mind…grit and determination….resolve…overcoming of fear and confidence growing ! With every episode I see that evolving and subtly changing you a bit more from strength to strength. Patriarchal chauvinism aside, I see you evolving as a better rider and a better human being! than before and that is a very profound statement and truth! I no longer have trepidations about upcoming difficulties obstructions on your way because I can see you overcoming whatever… even whatever fate decides to throw on your way!! Bring’em on !! More power to you Noraly!!

    The bravest girl in the world! (or like this one office said "you are nuts"...). Certainly our favorite show on CZcams by miles. Seeing parts of the world without paying a cent or breaking a sweat... How Noraly passes every road block just with her smile is baffling. Plus, she shows how unbelievable friendly and hospitable all this people are on her way. The world is getting a smaller and nicer place that way. Please just keep doing what you are doing, but without getting off Alaska unintended...

But sometime ago, somewhere in the mud & water is a lost mirror and part of a wind screen... But thru it all she just keeps on chugging along... with 2.12million subs on the back... Miss Alaska is a TROJAN.. who keeps on keeping on 🙂.*

    Kudos to the gate people. We see them in nearly every Itchy video as she leaves the hotel in the morning, but they get very little recognition apart from her smile. Maybe Noraly has a bunch of them travelling around Africa, just to open the Hotel, Guest house, B&B gates for her 😁
