  • The rains in Africa continue to chase me around and on top of that, I accidentally left my rain jacket behind at the place that I stayed. The risk of falling down and breaking something in the process, while going back down that slippery trail had me decide not to go back for it. The ride continues!

    This old retired deputy sheriff would chase an armed suspect down a dark alley at two in the morning but, riding across Africa by myself is just way too much for me.

      And you all from the USA, Canada, and elsewhere, commenting are very sorely, politically-correct, missing the point.
      What is the point?
      The point is that Noraly's very hardcore, unforgiving African adventure showcasing the intensive and extensive infrastructural decay and the entrenched lack of development brings out the hospitable nature of its people, always willing to lending a helping hand, especially to foreigners. Noraly enjoyed that privilege.
      Equally, every retrogression, poverty, wars, disease, etc that is shown in the news about Africa is correct, and just as valid as the Noraly positive outlook in life depicting suffering and smiling, and hope for the future.
      So, in a nutshell, there is no contradiction between the news media reporting and the Noraly scenic journey and experiment about Africa.
      Noraly concluded this video by showing where she is lodging with a "broken faucet, no running water" in a region obviously blessed with abundant "heavy rainfalls," as she said, plenty of rivers and lakes? How is that a positive thing about "Africa?"
      How many Americans or Canadians would have tolerated that type of service, broken faucets, no running water, in their own respective countries, in any hotel or motel? But that is typical (West) Africa for you - where running water is gold.

      I started watching Noraly when she began Season 6. By episode 35 I bought another bike, that was back in July, 2022. When I reflect on her amazing video series I have already watched over 50 HOURS just in Season 7. I don't recall how many episodes were in Season 6 but I'm confident in thinking there were more than 50 hours there, so, over 100 hours of Itchy Boots and I think she is my sister, I know her that well. What Noraly has achieved few will ever get close to. And, she is so very smart. Think of it, each episode is around 23 minutes, which if picked up by a national television service, her timing is perfect for commercial tell lie vision, room for commercials and announcements. In praise of Noraly Schoenmaker, the real Wonder Woman.

What if one or more legs/feet miss(es) its/their sequence in calibrating the necessary movement? Oh well, maybe I am just imagining things!🤣
