- In part 2 of the first ride in Madagascar, the dark clouds finally catch up with Didier and me. There is a hurricane system offshore of Madagascar and that can bring lots of rain. In the meantime, I have flashback to the crazy slippery mud in Cameroon...

Norally ,,,I have ridden on the back of your motor bike for 641 episodes and you have taken me to the arctic circle twice, the two southern Capes, across India and the Himalayas documenting the country as you go.
What I have learned......you are very smart ...in planning,, one tough cookie,,,a skilled rider,, a skilled artist with Go Pro and dedicated years of hard work and sacrifice to take me along. Along the way you have show me that people all over the world are good. You have shown women around the world that they are capable of anything and inspired millions.
Not bad for a Geologist
And you can repeat all that for me! too have ridden with you since episode 1, Season 1 in India and repeated the journey several times with you, every time I follow you there is someting else to see which I had missed at a previous viewing
Love the ending....Not bad for a Geologist. Haha. Early on I recognized her incredible intelligence. The more one digs below the surface of what it takes to do what she is doing the more evident it becomes. Her list of strengths is a mile long. Importantly she has common sense and a level head when dealing with the chaos in cities, jungles, deserts, mountains, snow, rain, water, currency, food, (edit)safety, and cultures. No one can be compared to Noraly and Noraly cannot be compared to no one. Peace!
Same here, although when I discovered her she was embarking on her trip to South America, just starting in Buenos Aires. I actually skipped ahead to be current with her at the time, and backtracked to view her season 1 videos through Asia, the Middle East, and back to Europe. What a really looooong odyssey that was!
'Not bad for a Geologist' is an understatement, she is simply outstanding!
Good for you. I am planning to do the same. She is always positive given any situation
Dear Friends just left Madagascar to come back home to Canada after 6 years of Medical Mission work in Mandritsara. They spoke of the hearts of the beautiful people, and the poverty. Also the roads. Wonderful people living in a beautiful country in very difficult situations. We in the West live in luxury and take it for granted. Thank you Noraly soo much for all you show us and teach us. Your attitude is so beautiful accepting and gracious. What an ambassador and teacher you are..
Those in the West worked hard, managed their development and structured a system in a way to prosper.
I moved to the West so I can join in and prosper, I have things I could not do where I come from.
@@ZebraAfrica True, but many people are so poor they cant manage to move, so the place a person is born can be tragic or wonderful. Glad you could improve your condition.
@@jamesconner3437 Blacks, just look around the whole world and they are all the same.
We areckings in 95% of the world. People in the west have no idea how good they have it
Send our love to your friends
Does anyone else also love it when she stops for food breaks?
Holy cow just insane roads, I will never complain about UK British roads again!! 🙂
🤷 I guess u didn't watch till d end when she was showing d map! Noraly obviously didn't take d main paved highway 2 that city, instead went 4 off-roading shortcuts on unpaved routes as she usually likes 2 do. Having said that, yes, those r some insane rural/remote roads 2 ride specially in d rainy season.
The cameras can never show the true level of difficulty of the road she is experiencing. No idea why not, but it is a fact. Appreciate the riding she does for us
Cameras only show so much and dont provide anything other than a suggestion of the physical demands and experiences of the rider.
The best discovery channel goes to Itchy Boots.
She learns the culture through the food, environment, and the people. You are my hero, Noraly.
👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪 She rocks ✊✊✊
At the end... She's "GOING TO HAVE A MEAL" but we will never know what the food is like. There, or anywhere else because we never see what they serve her. Muffins at roadside stands is one thing, but real meals are something else entirely and this is missing from every single one of her videos. These are MOTORCYCLING videos, but not TOURISM videos.
I watched this lady bike around Alaska I now watch her all the time
@@tonydownunder5703 give Tony a medal.
I am also Tony
@@grunt7684 I'm sorry but you are wrong about the meals, there are 600+ videos to watch, and what she has to eat at the end of the day is often featured.
Challenge Accepted..! WOW. Those are the words the children in my classroom took home with them today... Simply Inspirational
Great that Itchy is in Your classroom....she teaches us on many levels!
Good for you Michael! And be sure to say it with the same syllable emphasis that Noraly used! Peace
I really enjoy watching Noraly videos. Always when i receive a notification for her new videos I'm pretty happy. I became addicted to her videos. Thanks to her, my view of the world has changed. Thank you Naraly and be blessed ❤
Only experienced motorcycle riders can appreciate just how skilled and strong a rider Noraly is. That poor Madagascan had his work cut out for him. Noraly's endurance is not just for a race, or a week-end, it is day after day after day, around the world. I salute you, one of the world's best riders.
😂😂😂😂😂
@@ArmadilloGodzilla Laugh all you want my guy. Would like to see you just stand up from a bike after 6 straight hours of riding. We are talking about years, every day
as a young bloke i rode superbikes and i can say after 3 hours of hard riding i was done, i also did motocross riding on a 40000 acre sheep station in australia and riding all day was easier then superbike riding but still was hard day in and day out. Now im an old bloke, i sail and just watch others ride haha
Especillay with all her added gear and the weight shifts that happen. Not like riding my KX250 up those hills.
Right on point bobjunie! No way for anyone to know unless they've ridden under similar conditions. Excellent point you mentioned, not just a day or weekend. Its day in day out. And its not like she is 25 years old. I really have to sit on my hands when I see comments bashing her riding skills. Noraly is incredible person inside and out. Peace!
Madagaskar is one of the poorest countries in the world. Lots of people are in a desperate situation.
I dearly hope that there will be in the future a better life for them.
Lots of love to Madagaskar. ❤
Yes you can see remnants of the prosperity it once had. At least some people had money in the past. I assume under French rule.
Amen❤
If roads were ever built, that place will get robbed of all its natural resources very quickly.
There has never been prosperity in Madagascar.
@@wyomingguy4743 France only steals, they have never left any of the African countries with prosperities. Currently, they haven't left, they're still stealing resources from Africa.
Well, I am glad you are not going at Didier speed, "he can ride," like you said. But at his speed, we wouldn't be able to see, appreciate, or enjoy all the beauty you have shown us. So I very much prefer your way of riding and taking in all your surroundings. Thank you for all your hard, beautiful work! ❤
My favourite time of the day is watching Itchy Boots latest video. Being in Bali there is a significant time difference from when she releases the new video. Just finished my breakfast and waiting for her smiling “Good Morning Internet”. Off on another adventure today with Noraly❤😊
Poor Didier must be thinking "this woman is crazy". But then of course he is having fun also by the look of it.
Chances are he has never seen a woman ride like Noraly.
Isn't she the best with a good overview of her travels and well detailed episodes? What a pleasure to watch. Thanks Noraly
Can we take a moment to appreciate Noraly? Especially her attitude even towards the animals she meets on her way? She is so polite, welcoming, and collected. Even when the going gets tough, she remains calm. She is like a parent who hides her tears in order to let her children go strong and not see her pain and brokenness. She rides facing danger in a calm way. Honestly, I wake up every day worried about her. We have become like a family now. Hi sis, my spirit is with you. Good morning from Accra Ghana 🇬🇭
Anyone teaching Africa in a Jr. high or High School geography class should use these videos, imo. Noraly shows us an Africa many in the West are not aware of. Such beautiful landscapes and wonderful people.
Concur with you..Geography for once is a good lesson but HISTORY an even better reflection!
Have scheduled to watch later this evening, far better than watching Netflix 😃
Exactly what i always do, download then watch later, i have 2 episodes to catch up.
Have you watched “The Gentleman’ yet? Worth the watch
I don't waste my time watching movies again this is far better than Netflix 😅
@@Razzotis2211 totally agree
@@PJL7095 I havent watched it yet I saw the trailer the other day, lit looks like a awesome movie, will give it a watch.
Madagascar is really impressive - didn't realise just how big this island was! Beautiful countryside, rich fertile soil, cute towns and villages, litter free with such industrious hardworking people eeking out a living in one of Africa's poorest countries. Ox wagons and wheelbarrows add a unique insight into Madagascan lifestyle. Noraly, it's a joy to follow your travel vlogs, educating us all en route!
I was impressed with the wooden wheels on the oxcarts, some skilled wheelwrights!
Nice to see your comment again.
Africa has some really nice location yk
I'm impress how you progress in all kinds of terrain with this bike, nothing stops you. Wise choice!
How you ride those roads is a master at work the content of your vids are second to none one hell of a rider to have to do it day in and day out
I'm speechless. That looked incredibly tough, 10 hours of mainly thick mud, then Noraly just says how much she enjoyed the ride! Good to know she will get rewarded with the world-famous sites of Morondava.
Itchy Boots is incredible😉
...and then she has to get after downloading files, charging batteries, looking after all the logistics of both riding and filming for the next day. She is among the world's hardest working and tenacious videographers. All while making it look easy.
Yes.
AGREE! I'm seeing things and thinking boy, she's gonna lose it this time! And then...no...she's saying how great it was! Ha! so humbling. I need to do better and live by her example.
All I can say is wow !! Through these videos we can see the authentic life and landscape of a country . Not the biased views of CNN and bbc !! Wow !! 20 thumbs up !!
The best bits!
What is biased about the BBC - do you prefer Newsmax or Fox BS
British Brainwashing Corporation 😂
MSNBC and CNN are biased
@@nathansmith7153newsmax and fox is not fake news
I have been riding on motorcycle since 1972… but quite frankly Mrs. Noraly has taken her motorcycle adventure too the limit. Noraly you are a pro on two wheel, don't let your guard down and continue your journey through life. God bless you girl 💝
My grand daughter's mother living today in Three Rivers, Quebec in Canada with my son is from Reunion Island off the coast of Madagascar. I never knew Madagascar was so big either. Amazing how people live. It is like going back in time to a different era. I know why people like watching your channel. You show how life could be for some of us and how life really is all at the same time.
We love you Noraly. None shows the beauty of Africa the way u do❤
Pushing heavily loaded carts up and down rutted, muddy roads…“very strong people” is an accurate description of the locals. Thank you, Noraly, for another compelling episode ❤
Very strong cows you mean....
The people were struggling with mad contraptions too but I felt sad for those cows in that terrain
Your skills at driving through that thick, slippery mud is amazing. I slipped off my couch just watching!🤣❤️
What focus, concentration and skill this ride took! Amazing! Great track, breathtaking views, friendly people. Wonderful! stay safe & enjoy, Noraly!
Noraly ….”Challenge accepted!” She is one brave world traveler, pleasant communicator and excellent rider! Her filming, editing and music selection is FANTASTIC!
When the going gets tough, the tough speak Dutch! Another cool video Noraly, thanks.
During my drinking days we said"When the going gets tough the tough goes drinking👍😂!"
Your watching the video and you say to yourself it just can’t be any better, And then you watch the next video and it even better. Every video gets better and better 🤗🤗🤗. Noraly you rock girl 💪💪💪💪✊✊✊✊✊✊
I’m discovering Africa while seating on couch🛋️ I have bad experience with motorcycle 🏍️ , but when I’m seeing a woman riding on those roads it’s really inspiring me , hope things will be better for all Africa, love your videos Noraly from 🇨🇩 Congo , stay safe
Most won't realize physical demand of riding 10 hours in that terrain. You do it easily. I can already tell you are getting settled on the bike. The lines you picked through the gnarly terrain were spot on and through all the rutted mud pits you kept it upright! Ain't easy folks when on a bike one just started riding. DJ is probably thinking "man this woman rocks". I am enamored with what you are showing us. Love the verbal Noralyism technique you put on some words such as "challenge accepted" at 4:14. You are raising the YT content bar AGAIN! Thank You always. Peace! ❤❤❤
Talk about having " Buns of Steel ". Grueling ride on an Enduro seat.
I would have fallen so many times 😅
Jason, Noraly has really stepped up her game! She easily tackled the terrain and then casually talked about charging all her video equipment at the end. She just makes it look easy. I imagine most viewers can’t understand her skill set. Ride safe my friend.
Madagascar looks both wild and beautiful
Lovely
Once again, hats off to you, Noraly , for tremendous strength, skill and foresight that’s required for manoeuvring through the slushy, mud roads that you have gone through 💪.
Your appreciation for the tough and hardworking village folks of Madagascar speaks volumes about your own persona 💐.
Best wishes Noraly.
I absolutely admire the respect you showed for the oxen pulling the carts when you pulled off the road and turned off the motorcycle. But of course that’s no surprise to the Itchy Boots Fan Club. 👍
I noticed that too 😊
100%
There are no limits to how much I admire Noraly. I'm almost 70 and often find myslf being irritated over small things, but after watching this channel and Noraly's personality I ask myself: What would Noraly do? when faced with irritating situations. Love this channel and wish you all the best from Sweden.
I’m 71 and you’ve given me a new mantra WHAT WOULD NORALY DO? She reacts with such calm amusement at the worst things, doesn’t she?
Almost 70 myself! Noraly does indeed have a great personality and a positive outlook on life!
Madagaskar is such a beautiful country full of potential, has a lot of things in order just the roads, everthing looks organised. I like their towns and villages. I would invest in Madagaskar
Noraly 5 years ago seeing this kind of roads : oh hell no way , today , giggles and exclame : it is awesome . What a journey and i am happy to witeness such a tranformation . Thank you Noraly .
Noral you are Blessing and you have no Judgement in you , always positive energy. See you soon in East Africa.
This comment is to let Noraly knows that her channel is the best. She always works so hard to give us great content. Thank you.! Noraly.🌹🌹🌹🙏🙏🙏
Yup
I hope she believes what we all know, she's the best!!
She is my absolute hero too !!
Couldn't agree more.She is an Internet hero
Right on Minina-Nena! I've tried watching so many other YT channels. Noraly spoils us rotten with her incredible content. No one can be compared to Noraly and Noraly can not be compared to anyone.
These Madagascar videos are awesome (i mean, im addicted to all her trips), but she keeps emphasizing how clean it is there, and i am amazed by that too. Madagascar is so clean and organized.
That is the only way I can visit Madagascar 🇲🇬 without a passport thanks noraly
"I took it as a challenge" sort of sums up Noralys' whole journey. Amazing, beautiful scenery, challenging roads. How many people can say they rode dirt roads in Madagascar on a motorcycle? Much respect, admiration, and appreciation.
I have been following Itchy Boots since season 1. I have seen so much of the world, thanks to Noraly! I loved it when you traveled my country, South Africa, even more so now that you took me through my continent, Africa!
I have the biggest respect for you, girl! Y 20:35 our beautiful attitude and respect for even the poorest of the poor countries! God's speed, safe travels. Nickey, proudly South African ❤
Norraly is really something else. They broke the mould. Most tourists, even us literate Africans would never eat from some vending places and there she is chomping away at whatever like she's at the four seasons something.
All I can say is wow to 10 hours of driving you're the incredible woman and I know you work 80 hours a week and thank you we appreciate living vicariously throughout your Journeys. We do love you we are concerned sometimes but we certainly love and adore you❤
Why thank you so much sweetheart. Does big blue eyes and that beautiful smile is worth more than a passport anybody could ever hope to have your charm will open any border barricade the chewing counter you are such a sweetheart. Be safe take care we worried about you quite often so please kick some butt if need be we love you will always be here to back you up
You don't need to hope that we will like your video, Noraly what you are doing is great and we learn many things through your videos, we are the ones who should feel bad especially for those who watch your videos without like and subscribe, because you don't need to ask us at all, what you are doing is great Noraly❤
Thank you for showing us around always ❤❤❤
I've been binging season 1 & it amazed me how far she had come from 5-10 min videos tp 20-25 min videos filled with amazing cinematography & amazing drone shots the only thing in common is the "good morning internet " & top class motovlogs 🤗
Good job !! I think when we find Noraly's channel we all go back to start watching all her videos.❤
Once you started binging, there's no stopping. Enjoy! 🤗
wait till you see tajikistan!
I hope that Noraly will offer some observations and opinions vis a vis the KTM / Honda qualities.
Noraly, warum tust du diese dir das an?
You ride around the world day by day under really bad conditions, did rallys and still you are modest and admire Didiers driving skills. That's what I call a personality! 😍
MAD MAX, the Roads of Thunder❤🥰😊
Never seen worst roads. Poor people of Madagascar. Great riding!!!
Another day in the life of Itchy Boots! Noraly, you never cease to amaze us. You conquered the slippery muddy track with amazing ease amid such beautiful views. Plus a nice place to stay in a nice city. Thank you for sharing another day in your adventures! Ride safe Noraly!
Yep Willy she keeps raising the bar! As I'm watching, I'm sitting holding my head in disbelief at her content. She crushed those wicked tracks in this video and on a bike she isn't even familiar with yet. Should temper the naysayers that negatively comment on her riding skill!
Thank you for another terrific episode! It shows impressively the determination of highest levels in terms of quality of content and editing. The more videos I watch from Noraly, the more I am convinced that her channel is irreplaceable on CZcams.
Madam u have great courage and true grit I wish u all the best.
I get it being on the “road” is a very special experience most people will never do. After 4 - 6 weeks your life is the “road” the rest fades. Riding essentially wi😢th your life on a motorcycle requires a degree of Zen and calm. Personally I have ridden from Mumbai to London (2019) and from LA to Santiago (2023). It is a calling in life like a moth to a candle you can’t escape it. But when you are riding in foreign countries and each day is a challenge down to the smallest things there is in my opinion a sense of freedom which is very seductive.
Always so interesting to see human daily life in real time. Madagascar is GNARLY!! 💪
I love listening to your train of thought as I imagine how amazed I would be seeing different communities and all the day to day commerce. I'm equally sure people are amazed seeing you almost like a space visitor. 😅
The offroad marathon shown here is further proof of your toughness and driving skills, Noraly. So far, madagascar is rather different than I expected. Up to now, only the roads and paths seem to be really spectacular but this certainly will be changing. By the way: I feel very sorry for the poor oxen in their yokes. I thought of Mahatma Ghandi's saying: "The greatness and moral progress of a nation can be measured by how it treats its animals." But at least the animals were all well fed. And it is also depressing to see how much the locals have to struggle with their wheelbarrows and loads ... . Thanks for showing us all that, Noraly.
Food and accommodation totally free
This was an absolute heart thumper episode. I cannot believe how well you handled the tracks. I caught myself holding my breath as you maneuvered those scary dropoffs. This was a definite challenge accepted day. Great video, great job, great channel…what can you say…Just GREAT!
Laughing at the same time! I think I might have cried lol
I like Noraly's videos. I am Burundian and Burundi is known for its many hills (including the Congo-Nile rivers divide). Seeing these narrow roads across rice paddies will help me to always put every thing in perspective. I definitely would be scared to ride a bike on those roads, but for our Noraly is only great challenge/great joy.
It's official, Madagascar is the enduro paradise, what a good Bikes!!!!!
From the comfort of my home,all the emotions leave me speechless.Thank you, Noraly, you are a true ambassador of life ❤️.
You have to be the happiest cheeriest person on the planet, yet with all you go thru you are left unfazed and smiling ! Amazing Noraly !
10 hours of those “Tracks” ? How do you do that? 10 hours on Paved Roads are far more than us more normal riders can manage! You are fantastic person . Hats off to you! Can’t believe you have just done that! Huge respect and Thankyou for taking us with you.xx
Noraly has such skill and determination that that I could never muster. I am in awe. Noraly's travels is the series that I have watched longest of all series. So interesting to see the world through her eyes of places where I have been and many more that I will never get to, but have now visited in my mind.
I have so much respect for you as a rider Noraly. You are experienced, skilled and a safe driver with lots of determination.
Every Wednesdays and Sundays has become another important days in my life, why because its always itchy boots days. Thank you Noraly for putting smiles in our faces.❤❤
What a great ambassador Noraly is for the Netherlands, and what a wonderful time to be a young man, ride a bike and live in Madagascar.
Her determination is breathtaking❤
Norally I have a standing salute for you, you have achieved what I have dreamt through out my life, love and respect from INDIA।
My day is now complete, Noraly has posted. 😍
Beauty of the African continent, still waiting for you in Kenya VIVA.
Miguna miguna
Miguna Miguna
Kabisa
5:03 The sky's are fantastic! ❤
DJ can definitely ride. Noraly is in good hands. Ride On, Noraly.
I agree with your opinion about the cleanliness of the area. It is seen that the farmers are working hard despite the lack of transport vehicles and roads in the agricultural area.
Apart from a cultural mindset of a close synergy with the environment I imagine the cleanliness can also be attributed to the absence of single use packaging.
Thank you Noraly for taking us on this amazing journey. Your work for producing this is greatly appreciated ❤️
Only courageous people,like Itchy, can strive with absolute mud roads. Another chapter of excellence.!!!
Looks beautiful and an enduro rider paradise. Thanks Noraly.
Not sure what I expected but the Madagascar terrain you’re showing us is not what I expected at all. Didn’t expect hills and rice fields! Beautiful! 🌱🌱 🌾 🌾
Yes I thought it was all ring tail lemurs.
I think you must have been watching too many Disney scores with the same title as this country's name 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Very tricky dirty roads. Alaska would get a proper beating riding in there. I am glad you changed your plans for a proper enduro.
When you said " Didier can ride!" and starts laughing, it was so contagious your laugh that i loled with you.😂
You've got some unlucky bad weather so far. Hope sun comes out and shines with you.
Happy Easter for all Ichybooters. 🙏🐰
Happy Easter to you!
Always inspiring to watch your videos - you are so respectful of the people - and modest about your achievements - truly wonderful.
Such a brave soul this woman is indeed.
I often go on to 'explore' online the countries and regions Noraly is visiting. What a fascinating way to expand my knowledge of the world. Thanks!
Thank you as always Noraly for all your hard work and for showing us this magnificent world.
Without a doubt the best travel program to watch.Real experience of the countries visited.Well done Noraly.
'Mud, Mud, glorious mud
Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood!
So follow me, follow
Down to the hollow
And there let us wallow
In glorious mud' more like Clay. Happy Touring, love from the UK.
Yay! more itchy boots! my #1 youtuber, I never miss an episode and watch all the way thru.
One thing that I have found watching these is that the poorest people are the kindest and willing to give all to a stranger...try that in say England lol
God speed Noraly
Go Ahead, challenge accepted ... the way of Noraly.
Nice to have guide and a KTM for the day.
Unimaginable ! It’s just not a leisure trip to Madagascar , its in-fact a challenge for off road ridding. And Noraly is loving it is evident … wow !! Her passion is matchless. There is so much one can learn from Itchy Boots vlogs , just not about biking but also about people , places and life in general. Love it … carry on Noraly , it is a lotta fun watching your adventures 👍
Great, great Noraly strong rider💪 Thanks for the stunning places you show us
Love from India, you are truly an inspiration on wheels. 😊✌
and again I came home from work i see the new eposide and it just makes me happy to be part of it. I can't wait for iceland this summer for 5 weeks. Madagascar is just a bit tougher and as I remember the roads they look like built to go off roading . Enjoy the crazy roads on this amazing island.
After watching this again and again and again, I must say. Noraly you are very, very strong. Mentally, Physically and Spiritually. Hats off to you ❤❤❤
What an experience❤
Your voice is addictive Noraly. Thank you for always giving us something exciting to watch. Adventure is in the very air that you breathe.
A life without adventure is just an existence. Thank you so much.
Love this new adventure. Very cool to see different countries that otherwise I would never see. Especially in this way. Your the best
WOW!
You just amaze me every week. Keep it up Noraly.
