- In this episode, I make the final 400 odd kilometers to Luanda, the capital of Angola. Alaska, my Honda CRF300 Rally is running poorly since the little river incident in the Congo, and tons of other abuse. I've heard good things about this motorcycle shop in Luanda, so let's see if they can fix her up!

Side note: I was in Abu Dhabi last week and my cab driver was Nigerian. I mentioned that I’d been watching a woman drive across Nigeria recently and he said “Itchy Boots, we all watch and love her videos.”
@@lockssista she got massive boost. Am watching her right now . Had to go watch all her previous episodes. Lol
🔥🔥🔥🔥
@billcook4768
I found her vids about a year ago. I began watching as she was beginning her trip through BC, Canada and up to finish in Alaska. This was her ride from Patagonia to Alaska. I live in BC so her trip though my home province was of interest to me.
THEN I saw that she was travelling through West Africa. GOOD! I lived and worked in Nigeria for two years MANY years ago, and also had a small motorcycle. I rode that machine through most of Nigeria and to Niger, Benin, Togo and back and also into Cameroon and back to Nigeria.
So I watched all of her vids from Ghana to Cameroon... and continue to watch her now.
Nigeria has NOT changed very much in the decades since I was there, and the police shaking people down for money was a common occurrence. I never gave anyone any money though I was detained ("arrested"!) three times.
It was never an easy ride in Nigeria because of corrupt cops, unlike the other countries that I visited.
I commend her courage and stamina.
We dey here 😊
@@lockssista haha. I'm one of those that discovered her from that episode. Been watching all her videos since 😅
The Angolan motorcycle garage made my day, they seem very professional and efficient, kudos to them, wishing them more business.
Biggest advertisement to them ever!
I was very surprised to see they had an injector tester. That’s rare even in American shops. If an injector is pulled here you can bet a new one is going in.
They definitely seemed to be a competent and efficient group of mechanics!
Real professionals, only Noraly can confirm, like riding a new bike.
Ditto. VERY impressed, with both the facilities and the guys doing the work. Good find, and one of the technicians got to ride Itchy Boots’ Alaska! He’ll be able to dine out on that story for a bit 😊
The true hero was the bush mechanic who got Alaska running again in dark after the very unfortunate dunking!
Very true
That shop was a motorcycle mechanic's dream. All the right tools are available.
Yes, they even had that fancy adjustable spoke wrench!
@@paulkersey9493 the rare metric adjustable wrench 👍
Don't forget to mention the bearing press! Or bearing hammer, in this case.
Did you see the episode where they rebuilt her engine in a dirt alley, sitting on milk crates 😳 but .....seemed to do an adequate job . It's ran for thousands and thousands of miles since . Worried about a hammer and an old bearing to install a new wheel bearing is a little anal-retentive 🤔👌
I missed the blinker fluid.
In January my best friend passed away. He loved this channel and turned me onto to it. His daughter Holly reached out to you to thank you because this helped him through a rough stretch and you responded to her via email. Want you to know you are the best
That... is heartbreaking and uplifting!
@@sroberts605 Yes it is, X2. thats our Noraly. Peace!
Wow! Noraly is definitely a kind and compassionate person! That was very nice of her to do that.
Sorry for your loss
That is one good looking manager
The exhaust polish at the bike service was a rare luxury, not many worldwide doing that, great move from the people there😀🤟🤟🤟
a polish job with a bench-mounted buff wheel; high times!
yes, that was totally unexpected!
keeping things cool
Exactly, heat is dispensed easily on a clean surface @@blond339
We used to do that in Kenya at our workshop which specialized on Peugeot cars
I believe they blew you kisses 7:32, because they were genuinely amazed by your prowess, the fact that you're a female biker. They even asked it to confirm it 6:22 ''é menina ou rapaz?'' = is it a girl or a boy?, to which our local friend replied, ''é menina'' = it's a girl, while putting his hands on his head as it has might just been blown away, after his confirmation, the young guys started throwing their appreciation at you.
As you were there, you can tell being a biker is somewhat of a lifestyle for most young Angolans. However, you don't see any female biker. As a born and raised Angolan, I used to feel the same way towards female bikers, riders or racers, even now, it just makes my day. I recently came to Europe and female bikers are pretty much every corner (compared to Angola), I always show appreciation!
Thanks for visiting my country, moreover, for taking us to a breathtaking, detailed and in-depth journey to Africa. YOU ROCK!!🔥
Thanks Angolans for showing the true African hospitality to Itchy Boots at the gas station ❤❤❤
Yes this was much better than Nigeria . Angola I think I will visit
No problem bro 🙏
Respect from Angola
@@bardo0007Angolans are extremely friendly.
No, this is true Angolan hospitality. She went through a lot of trouble in most African countries and extortion by corrupt police officers.The truth is that most African countries are unsafe and inhospitable.
@@jgxc8 I haven't visited the majority of the African continent's countries, but in the countries I visited people in average have been very friendly ( according to me ). But corrupt police I have met at many places.
The guys in the petrol station were very nice to you, Noraly. The guy who was queueing was saying that the petrol station manager was demanding his staff to better organise the station as surely he wasn't happy with the way things looked so that's why they weren't attending the public at that moment. But he also asked you to go in and speak with the manager to see if he could open an exception and attend you instead of staying in the queue with them. I could also hear the lady at the petrol station asking her male colleague to go speak with you in English as he knew some English. Hence the guy coming to speak to you in English.
Welcome to Angola and I'm sure you'll enjoy your time there.
Just an Angolan living in the UK
Imagine if a black Angolan rode up while white Brits waited in a huge line for gas in the UK and got served before everyone else. They would riot.
@@paulg3012 yeah, definitely..
Thank you for the clarification ❤
Angola is very beautiful Country welcome to kenya
@@paulg3012hahaha! Funny but it's true bro... We are not treated the same
The episode at the gas station: Noraly unknowingly cuts to the front of the long line of people waiting. When the guys protest, the attendant justifies serving her first by saying "é minina" - it's a girl. Then everyone sends kisses to her. 😂
Sensacional explicação!! Sou falante de português e não havia percebido!! Obrigado
Not just any girl. But still a mystery to me that they are just waiting when there is at least some petrol to pump.
If you watched the vid you should know that she was told to go in front and TALK to the service people. They made the call, check the vid again. She did not jump the line.
Correct!@@caddyrack
I heard it.🤣🤣🤣
Your episodes are helping to put Africa on the screens and showcasing the good parts of our hospitality.
And that horrible roads, roads block, corruption, misery everywhere and sorrow and danger. Yes, some decent people are there, but what you claim " Rich Africa" look as very bad joke. Can you rent some of your land for people as long are not Russian to help organise things better way ?
@@annateresa9814Being condescending is a trait that's mostly found in shallow minds
@@annateresa9814Africa is definitely developing and we shall get there on our own terms. It takes time to recover from the ravage of centuries of slave trade, colonial exploitation and neocolonialism. China has done it, so shall Africa❤💪🏾💯
@@gerrytushh As far I know Russia is already " helping".
@@annateresa9814 your post is pointless, unfortunately.
Thank you for this very interesting report from my favorite country in Africa. I spent 12 month there in 1978 working for Volvo Trucks teaching people in Angola how to drive and service their Volvo trucks. I learned to appreciate the kindness of the people there, and have been wishing to return to many times, but realized that this was only I dream that could not be fulfilled. But thanks to you Norali, I have now succeeded to make a digital return.
I wish you a prosperous time on the Angolan roads!
Hi Sven. Me too. I spent 2 years in Luanda, working for Volvo trucks, but later. I lived there in 2012/14 and revisited familiar places. Probably we have common friends.😊
As a guy who has rode motorbikes for 34 years out of 44 years being alive
I have to say that motorbike garage and the team of mechanics were awesome
what the guy is doing at 17:40 is not awesome. This bearing will not last.
У меня тоже пер дид монокле случился. Куска деревяшки на худой конец не нашлось. 🤔@@kaba_me
@kaba_me he's using the old bearing to knock the new bearing in
It will last
Because the one he's hitting is about to get thrown away.
Me personally I use a socket which is the same size as the bearing
Using the old bearing is still ok
he used the old bearing to drive the new bearing in place, which is fine@@kaba_me
@@dirtbikerman1000 Using a socket is OK, as you are not hitting the core of the new bearing. He's hammering the core, and that's not good.
Angola seems like a little gem not gonna lie. so much more organized and the people are all smiling
ngl, Angola seems like a distant brother from Brazil, seeing the last videos made me want even more to visit Angola some day
Oil money. Won't last forever, but for now, even with the corruption, some trickles down to the population. Same situation in Gabon, which Noraly sadly was unable to visit. Tremendous and as yet undeveloped tourism potential.
Southern Africa is more stable and vibramt
Not much more organized just more familiar to you. Believe u not everything in Africa is organized you are just not familiar with the organization
When the beer trucks stop running, that's when we'll know if things are falling apart.@@u-know-this
What lovely people in Angola. 👍💚🌷🌿
they are very professional, I like the way they maintain and repair motorbikes. Indeed, Angolan people deserve a thumbs up from Indonesia 😅♥️
Can someone please produce an animated children’s series about Itchy Boots and Alaska, I would love my little grandkids to learn from watching Noraly tackle life’s challenges! The stories are endless! Science, mechanics, geography, geology, sociology, languages, history, what more could you want for the next generation! Bravo Noraly!!
That will be nice 👍
I vote for the real thing…. 22:10
They can learn from the video series.
You mean like Nora the Explorer?
That would be nice. She’s so wholesome. Everything she needs to know she learned in kindergarten.
Noraly, you have become an international sensation, everyone in West Africa loves you. They follow you on their phones because you represent each country so fairly and usually in a positive light. But more because of your friendly interactions with everyone you meet there. I think they will do anyone to help you along the way...Bravo !!
Noraly for World Ambassador.
@@johnmfjwGoddess, She helps all people in all ways❤😂😊😮
Noraly is the Ambassador of Adventure Travel to the world.
It’s working. I never wanted to travel to Africa and now I can’t think of anywhere more fascinating and friendly!
I’ve watched this 3x
My wife and I sit together on the sofa every Wednesday and Sunday to enjoy Noraly's latest adventures. And Itchy Boots is probably the main reason why I bought an adventure motorbike again after a motorcycle break of almost 40 years.
Noraly has been a global sensation in many ways. Her acceptance of fear with a smile, dare to go attitude, seeing the world through her eyes…an inspiration for all of us. Keep riding and we are behind you.
Treat you like a celebrity at the fuel station. Glad to see Alaska getting some much needed love. You two have been through some epic adventures. Awesome video, thanks 😊
Norally is VVIP others queued for fuel and Norally got first priority, which was amazing
@@alexbit1389 they sent her in front...
Westerners always get VIP treatments in African countries. Wish the reverse were true. Not their fault tho. They have good governance which means good living which means money to spend which Africans cherish.
Well she is!
@@alexbit1389they knew who she was and waved her ahead so what’s the problem?
this has to be the greatest advert for the Honda CRF300
You would think that Honda would sponsor her . Seems like a lot of free advertising.
I was thinking exactly the same thing, what’s a little sponsorship going to cost Honda, for a world traveler on a Honda motorcycle…duh!
@@tchin2020 Exactly, considering all the crashes Marquez cost them in last year's MotoGP!
Honda doesn't need more exposure. They're already #1.
Neither does Noraly, I also think that she herself is not looking for such a often marketing-oriented sponsor. Also creates commercial obligations, which she is not looking for.
Luanda is one of the most attractive cities I have seen, and I have been around to say it in a humble way. I LOVE Angola now!
Luanda is indeed a beautiful city ❤.
It's about 400 years old.
The mechanics in Luanda did a great job and they probably never even realized or cared that they were working on the legendary Alaska.
Alaska singing the "Nothing can break me" song was absolutely perfect! You are amazing, Norally.
I didn't catch that as I was so focused on watching everything they were doing. Stands to reason when Noraly plays music where we can hear the lyrics it has meaning behind it like most everything else in video. Peace!
Interesting song..fits the occasion
The song is Faster Car by Loving Caliber if anyone is interested
Mad respect to those bike mechanics and shop owner. Very organized, clean and well funded shop. Be blessed 🙏🏽 bye.
I couldn’t stop watching your channel. In reality, ppl in Africa are friendly, nice and welcoming.
Sou Angolano e estou acompanhando sua aventura em meu pais. Benguela, Lobito é a minha cidade ...
Same story- I'm in Minnesota USA. Ethiopian Uber driver and I start chatting. I said I would like to go to Africa. I've been watching a woman travelling all over on a motorcycle. Yes I watch that channel too. Your trip is of global interest congrats. Best on the rest of the trip
I am from British Columbia Canada. It is so nice that Noraly brings us all together from all over the world for her episodes. Hello to everyone wherever you are.
Evening from Cornwall. Uk.
Hello from Chile 🇨🇱👍✌️
Hello from The Netherlands 🙂
Bello from Cologne, Germany!
Hello from Paris, France.😊
The most interesting thing about your channel is the setting - Africa. To most westerners Africa is a homogenous blob where not much happens. Your channel really brings out the differences, platforms the people and places in ways that are almost never done in western media. Whenever Africa is mentioned in western media it's usually about crime, civil wars, natural disasters, and that's about it. No-one actually talks to the people.
Spot on my friend.
From my personal experience, the African continent is a fantastic place.
Living in Angola for 10 years now and I have no words to describe it.
Imo thats because most people have forgotten how to listen and feel with their heart due to being stuck in their minds!
Places like Africa have to be felt to be understood :)
I visited Angola in 1994. To watch this video was really interesting. Such a difference from my experiences in Angola for 30 years ago. The country has really changed!
I think Noraly is not from the planet earth. She always has a smile in her face.😘😘😘 The way the fixed every obstacle.She has the key how resolved problemas ❤.
I was thinking something similar…it is as if her journey through this world is protected, a special karma emanates around her, her encounters are meaningful to all. I am just a viewer, and I only can imagine her effect in person!
@@terryheatwole6153people like her have it naturally. I can fake it on the outside but I can’t escape my cynicism on the inside. It definitely makes a difference in how you experience life.
@@terryheatwole6153 Right. She is special one.
She is from the island of Themyscira.....of course. 😉🤣
@@jasonzerbini2375 had to look that up.. makes perfect sense..
After the river nightmare with Alaska, we were concerned. She performed so well, and this service is just what she needed. The motorcycle shop techs went deep, and we are breathing easier now. Welcomeeeeee to Angola!! Safe travels Noraly!!
I wonder how many people can claim to have ridden a motorbike after it took a swim... upsidedown!
Your sojourn has shown how nice people are wired to be but it's Politicians that are dividing us. Africans are lovely people.
Thanks Noraly for showing Africa to the World.
I live in Luanda and am proud to ave you here in my country, god bless you woman.
You and Alaska deserve a million thumbs up for having survived and kept us so intrigued with all you have experienced to this point. Your look of relief when reaching the big city was priceless. So glad Alaska got her spa day. Beautiful sight to see her all cleaned and running well with all her new parts. Beautiful video, Noraly!
@@alexbit1389what good is privilege if you don’t use it? When people extend a courtesy it’s best to use it so as not to insult those extending the courtesy.
I too thought Alaska cleaned up and looked beautiful. The shop definitely had a special cleaner and process to get it looking that good. Not just soap and water! Peace!
If you watched the vid you would have seen that she was told to go in front and TALK to the service people. Your IGNORANCE is shameful! Cheers@@alexbit1389
@@alexbit1389 but people were waving her over to the pumps that she used, and they were happy to accommodate her.
I suggest you watch the rest of her videos. Noraly has been exceptionally respectful of local people around the world, and you are not processing the fact that she was waved over to the pumps by those in the lineup. If indeed she has been given any sort of special treatment, this may indeed reflect the gratitude that people in multiple African countries have expressed for the positive exposure she has given to her viewers as to the generosity and good nature of local people and local cultures. Your hatred and disrespect is gratuitous and misplaced!
This African Trip is a real Adventure and a Thriller for us Itchy-Booters.
"itchy-booters" - new word for the dictionary! :)
Southern Africa is really the most peaceful and developed region in Africa.
The group “yeah!” when you blew them a kiss at the gas station made my whole day 😂
@beijo em Angola é sinónimo de saudação e por ser uma pessoa do sexo feminino ou oposto…
Sou angolano, residente em Portugal…
Noraly, I can't adequately express what your travel adventures do for me. I've just learned that I have stage 4 pancreatic cancer and amid all the preparations for chemotherapy and/or radiation treatments I can always depend on your channel to provide a relaxing tour of whatever country you are in. Thank you for producing these gems.
Dios está contigo !!

Sorry to hear of your latest health check with all the pain. Will keep you in my prayers at daily mass. God and his mother be kind 🙏❤️🙏 to you, this day and everyday.
I am so very impressed with the Angola motorcycle shop. They are clearly very knowledgeable and efficient. Kudos and I wish them much success.
I am really impressed how modern and beautiful the city of Angolia and how uo to date the motor workshop ...amazing!
Angola had a 27 year civil war that ended in 2002 but in reality it's a country with modern infrastructure since the 1940s.
The city in the video (Luanda) was founded in 1576 and it has a long history.
It has even an old portuguesese fortress called "Fortaleza de São Miguel".
Most of the streets that you saw in the video are from around the 1950s.
@@guleiro The city was completely destroyed after the civil war.
They rebuilt everything from scratch
OMG that mechanic shop was amazing! So startling when u arrived in the city to see so many modern buildings after all this time in the jungle towns and villages❤
Yes. Most African countries are like that in the city.
I had no clue what to expect with Angola but am pleasantly surprised so far. The name Noraly and a good hearty breakfast have become synonymous. If I had a restaurant I would name a big breakfast menu selection after her. Amazing scene at petrol station; long lines, nothing moving. Noraly pulls up, gets motioned to a pump where no one is at a few feet away, gets cheap gas and so happy leaves tip and is on her way, everyone else is watching. Awesome to see such a blessing after what she has been through. Impressed with the high tech bike shop. Cool scene showing them checking the performance of the fuel injector and I saw they scoped the cylinder as well. They did a fine job cleaning up Alaska. She looks so nice. Peace! ❤❤❤
Great post Jason, despite couch critics here you saw it like I did. She did not jump the line, se was told to go to the front and SPEAK to the service people. They made the call to fill her bike. Good for her. Great vid as usual from her.
Alaska looks like her old self, minus the windshield. So good to see her getting what she needed. Both of them actually.
I'd suggest poffertjes and roosterkoeks to have the Noraly/Itchy Boots names. I was thinking poffertjes were Netherlands only but, I found they exist elsewhere. There's even a cast iron cookware manufacturer in Columbia that makes poffertjes pans. I'm hoping she gets to a place in Africa where she can get roosterkoek again. S5 eps31 22:10 "Life is good".
Good morning, Jason! I received that long awaited email with the newsletter this morning! Whew!!😉
@@lucindavillarreal2676 Good Morning Lucinda or probably good afternoon in TX by now! I did just see the email. Yes, relief. Also get the Loyalty member note and she explained in more detail why she bypassed the DRC. Haven't found your comment yet for E83 despite a lot of scanning. Work keeps getting in the way. LOL.
Love how the Noraly effect spreads joy everywhere she goes! Alaska may be a little battered, but she's got a spirit that can't be broken! Props to the motorcycle shop in Luanda for the much needed TLC. Thanks for taking us along on this wild ride, Noraly!
We can all learn another about being a good human from her.
That mechanic shop is world class, just incredible and with a smile. Amazing
I'm thoroughly impressed with the Angolan Motorcycle Repair shop. Seems so professional, equiped, and mechanics know their stuff. Oh my motherland, Africa things can still work
Perfect timing for a video in this rainy Dutch sunday weather here in Rotterdam! 😅😅😅
In Honduras 🇭🇳 is rainyn too 😅
It is snowing in Halden, Norway!
Raining in the middle night at Indonesia.. 😅
Raining in Brazil, Peçanha 😊
Raining in Lower Saxony Germany
Some sad memories of my Country of birth.
Never ever returned to Angola, I'll never forget the atmosphere , gunfire and mortars in and around that city.
Eloped in the middle of the night on a TAP 707 to Johannesburg after spending 3 nights at the airport before taking off with no lights on runway or aircraft for that matter watching my late Mother crying her eyes out as we circled on a left hand outbound to South Africa that would accommodate us as refugees in 1975.
Life happens
😭❤️❤️❤️
So sorry
Ooh.. Really bad memories...Wars in Africa are a bad thing
Dormi duas noites à porta do aeroporto, saí em Julho de 1975, fiz escala no Gana - Acra, para reabastecer.💚🍀🙏
I've been to Luanda many times heading to off shore jobs. Never had a negative experience.
I fully agree, Noraly. West Africa is not for the faint-hearted. Southern Africa is pretty much what I would say is "Africa-light", whereas West Africa is truly hardcore.
That is better service than I've ever had at a U.S. dealer!
😂 Regards from Luanda, Angola
Just cleared eight inches (20.32cm) of snow from my property. Now I am hunkered down in doors waiting for spring. Thanks for letting me live vicariously through your video.
Her videos are a blessing!
Angola where I was born but left there when I was only six months old 48 now in 2024 , I would love to do this trip with Noraly or anybody else , thank you for the video 👏❤
Very impressed with Luanda. Wow 😮👍😊🇮🇪 🇦🇴
I like the mechanics question, "How can we help?" Very professional. Very friendly.
Alaska's repair videos are always a hit with me. Whether in an established shop or a private garage or a side alley shelter, motorcycle mechanics make things work! 🙂👍👍
Loved this episode. The breakfast, the petrol, the traffic lights and that motorcycle shop. And the views. My God, Angola, you are beautiful!
It is indeed a beautiful country.
I travel regularly through it ❤
Whenever cycling thru Angola stop at :
RM Peças-Comércio Morro Bento, rua do KFC nº 34, Luanda, Angola
Just like Noraly did !!
and yes the overnight lodging is not even a half block from the shop !
Anyone else think Noraly would be the absolute best tour-guide on the planet?! So knowledgeable, so resourceful, so positive and pleasant!
Impossible ,she just like to ride alone ☺
No! Noraly is a true Lone Wolf! She likes people to a degree, is tolerant to a point, but dealing with people day in and day out would eat her soul. This is why she travels alone. She is happy to meet you, but she doesn't need you in her life.
@@hagenlaveau Yes, I agree. Just because she is successful navigating the terrain, politics etc is not the same job as navigating tourists through said. What she gets away with alone would never happen in a group.
Ambassador!
You are brave Noraly. Keep showing us the world we wanted to see but could not. Stay blessed.
Am really impressed by the infrastructure in Angola I mean in comparison to Cameroon and congo it's away ahead.
It's an oil country. Nigeria should look similar but doesn't unfortunately. Some for Equatorial Guinea.
She was in the capital in ANGOLa .. She didnt go to the capitals of the other countries..
Que alegria ver Alasca toda revisada.
Saudações do Brasil aos irmãos de Angola
Igualmente a todos os nossos irmãos brasileiros ❤.
De Luanda, Angola
Made my day - the Noraly effect at the petrol station in Soyo. Not only did dozens of people in line watch you fill up, but blew kisses when you left.
What a lovely and spacious city Luanda is. And I really liked the lyrics to the song you played during Alaska's service - perfect! 👍
this is the nice part of Luanda. We also have the one that will make you feel sick on your stomach! 😅🤣😂
Welcome to 🇦🇴 Angola Luanda. 😊 I’m happy to see riding around my country and city Luanda. I wish a a wonderful stay in Angola 🇦🇴
Definitely Alaska deserved that full service, after all she have been through.
Yes, beside all the problems and other things, Angolan people is a very happy people you will see that a lot. Our Petrol is very cheap when compared with other countries but we found it expensive when compared to the minimum wage of the country.
Can wait for the next video.. ☺️
So proud watching this video, thank you!
Abraço sentido ao povo irmão Angolano!
I never saw anything like that shop that cleaned and worked on your bike they seemed very professional and efficient .
How did you find a motorcycle mechanic I'm impressed ❤
Every single time before proceed watching Itchyboots... I'll hit the LIKE first!! No doubt!!
Who's with me?...
😂Always!
Everyone
Are you ever not in a good mood? Always smiling and upbeat. No wonder you have nearly 2.3 million subscribers.People ❤you in Western Africa.
angolais southern africa
I can't speak for her specifically - but on youtube travel vlogs, you're only seeing 20 minutes, out of perhaps a week of traveling. The most fun, nice or interesting parts are put into the vlog. I can imagine that most vloggers won't put in their lowest moments, because either they are concerned with other things than turning on a camera while going through an existential crisis, or they know that people might not want to see it and quit watching if there's a lot of negativity in the vlog - harming viewership and income.
But one thing's for sure: Noraly never gives up. Even when things go really bad, next week she'll just be riding to another country again. I'm amazed.
@@valentineisraelshabangu4069Central africa not south africa

Very impressive workshop, proper tools and skilled staff, but cherry on top, they took you in right away, even though they were already very busy with many other bikes, and had all the parts new! Even in Europe this is impossible lol.
Angola is a major petroleum producer, with modern refineries in country. The govt has a policy of providing subsidized petrol for the people. Its been that way since independence in the 1970s.
Me, my wife and two sons have been waiting sooo long for your next video. We love watching your journeys across the world. All the best from Norway Noraly 🇳🇱🇳🇴
She has gotten me addicted too.
Me too... Never missed.. ❤
I don't have words in my mouth to tell you how much respect and consideration i have for a woman like you . I learned so much from you .
Oh my..... Alaska must be sighing in massive relief at getting all that mud and gunk out of her parts!!! That she kept going through all of that torture is absolutely monumental!!! 😵💫🥳And you too of course Noraly! 💕
Clean city, no graffiti! Super nice and clean motorcycle shop too!
I'm brazilian and is amazing to see Noraly speaking in portuguese again! God bless you ❤
I was in church this morning, a church I have been attending for 15 years, and I had 3 different people ask me if I had ever watched a CZcams show called Itchy Boots. And I of course replied that I never miss a video and all three times I had an extended conversation about your CZcams Channel. We are in Fort Worth, Texas. I think it is funny that I had 3 people in one day come talk to me about it. Thanks for the videos and I am glad that I know other people that watch you.
Awesome! Peace!
I had a similar experience while standing in the drs office parking lot. I was waiting on my husband to get done and of course I can’t miss an episode if there are any means possible to see it. I was leaning against my car and a man walked by and asked, “are you watching Itchy Boots”? He said he recognized her voice as he was walking by. Lot of us Itchy Booters out there 😁
Bring this all to TV.
As a Portuguese, I like to see the huge improvements since I was in Luanda the last time. Nice to see some places when I lived for 5 years before the Independence also. University na Marginal, Office of my father and others. Congratulations
Parabéns amigos Angolanos pelas melhorias que são bem visíveis desde Cabinda até Luanda. Grande profissionalismo na oficina.
Noraly, you are special. Good luck for East Africa
One of the reasons I love watching your video is for the fact that even during a stressful situation you always keep your smile and laugh about it😂❤
Good morning it’s Sunday February 18th. I enjoy your channel on CZcams so very much. My grandson Ian who will be 22 tomorrow just purchased a 2022 Honda 300 just like Alaska. It has been his dream for more than a year and a half; and now it’s a reality. You are an inspiration to him and as far as adventure you are “it”! Keep safe and know you are appreciated and loved by many. ❤
Your grandson will love it. They are incredible bikes. The only thing that keeps me off mine is snow and sub freezing temps
When I see the word “Alaska” I no longer first think of the US state, rather, Noraly’s amazing Honda CRF Rally first comes to mind 😊 Must have been such a relief to see her get top notch service and parts. She looks amazing, even after the beating she’s endured. Looking forward to seeing the new equipment you got. Great episode, Noraly ❤
😂Me too, and I have a cousin that lives in Alaska. 😄 But to me “Alaska” is Noraly’s partner in Africa. 😊
Angola looks like a nice country, I think I will visit when I do my Africa tour
Great country, you should!
I am Angolan and you will be welcome in our country.
Don't forget to visit the south, it has the best beaches and the best views
am in love with Angola, Angola is so beautiful. Much love from Kenya
Expert mechanics. Alaska was in good hands.
And she got her own song. "Nothing can break me".😊
We all are smiling for Alaska, getting the royal treatment! 🏆♥️😁🙌🎶 Noraly takes us on adventures like no other! Bravo. Living Life to the fullest. And pulling right up to the gas station, as many waited. Woohoo!
It's really cool and encouraging that you talk to natives in Portuguese, I'm Brazilian and I love your vlog. Tchau
estou apaixonado por Angola, Angola é tão linda. Muito amor do Quênia
Muito obrigado por gostar de Angola, meu país. Kenya também é muito lindo!
Vem visitar
I know big cities are not your thing Noraly, but to see how you casually navigate through an unfamiliar capital city with no operating traffic lights is quite impressive! Let the wagering begin--- how long will Alaska have 2 intact mirrors?
🤣😂😄
Haha…we’ll see😀😀
I give it two countries before Alaska loses a mirror. :)
Welcome to Southern Africa!🇦🇴
Relaxed and friendly people, vast beautiful landscapes and more organisation.
Following your channel for the last few years. Words fail me , as I admire you so much as an exceptional human being. Love everything about your videos, but most of all Thank you so much for showing the world to us in a way that no one has ever done before. Nothing fake, nothing manufactured, just the world as it is. Love those nuggets of information, & of course meeting the people. As for that bike. Considering everything that it has been through, man oh man, that is one hell of a machine!!!!!!!!
What a nice shop! Very good mechanics too it looks like! Luanda is a pretty modern city and good place to recharge Alaska and yourself!! Let's go!
A beautiful day to ride to Luanda! The long lines for fuel were definitely strange and no wait next door! You found a great breakfast too! Luanda is a beautiful city and the bike shop was a great find! Glad you found great mechanics. Ride safe and thanks for sharing your day Noraly!
The long lines if you understood Portuguese very well the guy said they are on the line because the manager came and asked for organisation , that's why they were waiting. Regarding her being served in front of all of them, unfortunately that's how White people are treated in Angola , they get preference everywhere. It would happen to you as well.
Every day after working hard I'll make some coffee and sit back and watch your journey. What you have presented has made me forget my tiredness. Thank you Noraly, your journey has made me happy.
I run a store in Ottawa. I’ve had several Nigerian clients in the past week - and all of them follow you. They were very impressed by your roadblock behaviour, Noraly. As was I. When I was in Nigeria, I did not argue: I usually just paid. Hats off to you!
The sad part with the world, most people missed the story of the Nigerian government firing those 2 police who were trying to extort her
@@yougetaspear7799 Most Nigerians saw it. So did I.
That new Arrow exhaust sounds glorious! The mechanic couldn't stop smiling when he was about to take it for a test ride😂
60k, hard terrain and a dip in the river will take its toll.
Perfect shop to refresh the old girl.
Now you relax with the fact she's all good.
Safe travels and cheers 🍻
Shiny new bike ? People won't believe you when you tell them where you have been and what you have done lol. The wear on those parts was scary but Alaska kept going. Luanda looks amazing - not what I had expected.
For an African country right? People.
After everything that has come before, and recently. In comparison it’s amazing and cutting edge. Just a statement of fact.
Your not expecting that cause is a african country right?
Angola 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 while watching the video i was ashamed of my country Cameroon. Our politicians really failed us. Back in the days we used to look at countries like Angola as the poor ones. Happy to see that not all African politicians are thieves. Enjoy your time in Angola Noraly
Angolan politicians are also thieves, the difference is that Angola is much more rich in recourses (oil, diamonds) than most other african countries.
I'm from Brazil and I'm loving hearing your voice in Portuguese
