Thank you all so much for all the name suggestions!! ❤️❤️ So many incredible names were mentioned, but the first name that spoke to me was the one I picked. The name for my new partner in crime CRF250L is... SAVANNAH!! 😍 Let’s go!!
Perfect !
Savannah ❤️ you go girl 😎
Like it, just like you savez 🐞, and "that" velcro sound.. gloves on gloves off, game face on game face off. Still do the dance somewhere wild in the mountains 💪
Good choice, glad to see you riding again!!! Go Noraly, go Savannah! Many greetings from Croatia!!!
Wishing you and Savannah a wonderful journey this season. Enjoy!
This is one of the very few channels where I enjoy reading the comments, as much as actually seeing the video .. you bring out so much positivity from your viewers that it is rare to see a negative one. Take care and wish you the best.
Hello rudelchw. Couldn't agree more. What really impresses me is how Noraly's approach to things draws out the best in most of us ... which you see here. I know it sounds cliche and new world techie, but there is a community of sorts that is built around this. Cheers.
I agree, somehow her infectious positivity and happy ramblings and easy listening voice and her confidence, inspire us all to be supportive and helpful. Ho to her website and donate some cash!! ;)
Agree, and you never have to say " mind your language"!
Welcome to south africa, where the traffic lights are just suggestions
Trevor Noah? 😂

This girl has such a positive and loving attitude. God bless & protect her.
She has an Angel on her shoulder.
@@RUSTY-A-L
When you're a good person from within, you get God's protection at all time.
This has nothing to do being a religious. It simply means being good hearted, kind person from within.
@@BenHayat Ben it was a casual remark nothing more.
Amen 🙏
Yes thus true
So interesting watching my home city through the eyes of a traveler. Laughed when the cars ignored the red traffic light (robot). Travel safe lots of South Africans watching. If you need anything get in touch with one of us, we all happy to help.
Thank you all from South Africa. love from Poland
Is left on red legal in ZA or were those cars running the light? Here in the US right on red is legal but I know it's not common globally.
@@dand5829 No its not legal, but its common if no one is watching ;)
Ex South African here... makes me miss home again :D now based in UK
@@lukes497 In Canada you can stop then turn right at a red light if clear to do so. Why is this any different?
I'm from south Africa and I have to say this, I love how you go where most visitors don't go🤣🙆🏾♂️
My thoughts exactly.... hell, she has gone places I would not have considered going, even though I've lived in SA all my life. What an amazing look at some beautiful parts of the country, though.
Well, Johannesburg, hmmm!!! Be scared which is known world wide for it's crime rate Hats off to your courage, wild spirit, wish the best for itchy boots
Dont make me laugh 😂😂😂
braver than most, walking around with a camera like that in broad daylight
@@dowtube1 we love you
Thank you for showing us so many parts of the world that most of us will never see in person. You brighten my day.
Noraly is the ambassador of the world. She is showing us the beauty of this planet and the diverse cultures.
Why is this not being aired on National Geographic? I don't get it. Her channel is a gem of UA-cam! 💯
Well said !!!
You're an amazing positive woman. You are doing more gravel roads than 98% of us that's got big adventure motorcycles. Enjoy every moment and be safe.
Somebody asked me today which TV-series I am watching right now. I was tempted to say "Itchy Boots" - nobody would have guessed what it is. But it´s my favorite series right now. Thank you for your effort and for bringing the joy and pain of motorcycle travelling, different cultures, landscapes and wonderful people on our screens!
I CAN PREDICT A WEEKLY TV SERIES ALLREADY ...........................................!
Come visit my wife and I in port Elizabeth. We rode two XR125s from south Africa to Israel in 2015 / 2016. We can swap some stories :)
I wish I could like each video 1,000 times. The genuine experience that you make happen is incomprehensible. Love every second of these videos.
The fluffy thingy is a pumpkin fritter - and they are delicious.
Ahhhh yes it was pumpkin !! 😋
@@ItchyBoots ko loe yuk, zou ik zeggen.
The fluffy thing was a "miauw" :)
Pampoen poffertjies
@@theantheron85 daar is die mooi Afrikaans ja
Norally, you put a smile on our faces in these difficult times. God bless you!
I spend a month riding in ZA last year - incredible, amazing, wonderful...can't wait to go back. If you get a chance Lesotho has some of the most amazing pavement and dirt roads, and fantastic beautiful scenery. One of the best kept secrets in the world.
Good morning internet, good morning Noraly, we will be with you. Take care.
Can't wait to see the scenery of a continent I'll never get the opportunity to visit.
Fisit
How can you know that?
3:00 1970's MGB in front of Noraly. Nice to see such a car on the roads.
Thank you for allowing me to see parts of the world I would never see in my lifetime. Be safe and enjoy! Cheers from Canada!
She should come see us! She’d love Canada.
@@shakyhandpictures2185
To be honest i’d rather tour Canada than SA.
But then, i’m a wimp. 😂
Wow 3 episodes in a week........ What did we do to deserve this goodness? Thank you Norlay!
What a wonderful part of the world. Better still on a motorcycle! Loving it. 🙂👍
I feel like the world is slowly getting back towards normality now that Noraly is back on the road :)
Good morning Internet.
Itchy Boots is on the road again
Go Noraly, go.
Yeesss!
Ok, I am honestly asking! How can I like this video more than just hitting LIKE? This is fantastic! I absolutely LOVE that you are enjoying life and moving forward and LIVING! Such an awesome inspiration to the entire planet right now! Thank you!
3:35 Noraly getting acquainted with "Left turn on Red" in a new culture... 9:40 Noraly back in her element... one hand on the selfie stick and bringing in the perfect music to add to her excellent videography. This viewer's day has been uplifted! It's good to be Itchy!!
I live about 300 meters from that intersection and its a very badly designed traffic light - it stays red for ages and there are usually no cars coming the other way. It should have just been a yield sign and so I also pretty much just ignore it and go when safe.
@@garyklinkert6737 What an incredible age we live in Gary that someone like you can pop up in Noraly' s comments who lives right where she is. Amazing.
@@toqtoq3361 In the states, back during the first energy crisis people realized they were wasting gas at stop lights when no one was coming, so most states passed laws saying that you could make a right turn at a red light after you came to a stop. Assume it is the same there only it's left hand traffic instead of right hand..... so it would only make sense.
Hey Noraly, according to general travel advice for South Africa, they say you should be very careful at vulnerable point such as : traffic lights, stop signs, yield signs and highway off-ramps. Have a nice trip and thank you for showing us the world!
why?
@@bbwin1 They grab and run but I'm sure she has done her research well enough and everything is securely attached.
@@charlene8127
if she encounters such robbers, only a gun can save her
I'm living my dreams vicariously through you! You go girl!!
I know it's early days, but I get the feeling this series is going to be the best advert South Africa has ever had!
@@killdozer3464 yep, I'm working out how far my pension will go in Rands!
@@SteveGouldinSpain A very long way at ZAR23.00 - £1
If Noraly boosts SA's stock I hope she will swing thru Detroit sometime soon.
The problem with your channel Noraly, is I'm starting to become envious. There you are experiencing the world, seeing it for yourself, tasting the food, talking to the people, visiting amazing places. And I'm still stuck here in the same old life. Lucky you.
You may not have the 'Noraly' option of total committment to this but hey, you could have 'Noraly' day here and there. Take off a whole day and taste some food, talk to some people , visit some place amazing close to home. Go for it buddy !!
At the end of that day I guarantee you will not be thinking "Oh man, I'm so sorry I lived like this for a whole day. I'm such a disappointment. " It will bring positive energy to the other things in your life as a bonus. Going to work will actually make MORE sense after a day like that.
Hey, I've managed to talk MYSELF into doing this. hahaha I've been in a rut for quite some time - it's time to jump the rut and have some fun.
@@kirkjohnson9353 Yes, indeed. If you can't go far, go where you are.
Due to age and family commitments, I can't do what Noraly does, but her example was enough for me to buy my first motorcycle in twenty years and at least get out and experience the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. I may not go further than that, but I'm glad I did.
Ditto
@Dave If you can buy a motocycle and start exploring little streets of your region far away from the mainstream, visit new places, and if you have two days free, stay in a little bed&breakfast just where you land in the evening! You'll learn so many new aspects of your country, and also such a short adventure will give you happiness for the rest of the working week and make your soul shine! It's worth it, just start and do your thing.
Every time is a good time to start! I started close to 60 with my first motocycle riding lessons and am exploring now the closer and farer regions which my job allow to reach. It's like a new life, and every minute on my bike gives me joy, happiness and freedom. Just do it! I wish you all the best 🙂👍🏍
As a west coast Canadian I really enjoyed my time in South Africa. Although, for me, that was 30 years ago. I got to see Cape Town, Jo Burg, Durban, Kruger National Park, and most in between. There were very nice people there. Thanks for sharing your videos and allowing me to see this wonderful country again “on the road.”
Every country has its issues but RSA is a stunning country! Thanks for coming here, hope you not only see the beauty but experience the spirit of Ubuntu that most of us embrace.
True to form, as soon as she hits the dirt road, its 1 hand camera and 1 hand handlebars. You are treading where 99,999% of people in South Africa wouldn't dare to tread. I am a fully fledged South African, but I think I am REALLY going to enjoy this series.
Is South Afirca that dangerous or is everyone there a pansy?
SA can be dangerous. It's better to be a little more careful and avoid possible issues. Never leave anything unattended as it will disappear. Enjoy and be safe!
@@SamiNami people tend to exaggerate & are widely misinformed.
@@charlwhite1 The World itself can be dangerous 🙂
@@SamiNami YES IT DEFINITELY IS!
Well done scoring the honeymoon suite haha! I'm glad you're back doing your thing :) Enjoy the adventure!!
Hi bro big fan from India
... I think that is was assigned you the suite not because you were sweating ... it´s because you are so popular online and advertisement! nel caso in cui 👍
This is amazing. You only ever hear of the robberies and the murders, it's great to see there is another side to South Africa.
Yes I have known people who stayed and work there and all have experienced attempted robberies.Its the only country IB is in I worry about.
i cant believe you drove in the city with your nav and go-pro out like that. hahahah!!!
I was thinking the same. But it was early morning and the bad people have to sleep too.
So nice to have you back, Noraly! Your relaxed and happy disposition is truly addicting...need more people like you traveling the world with cheer and good tidings! Bless you, Noraly!
The yellow fritters you ate is called "pampoen koekies" Pumpkin dough mix fried in oil
I knew if I checked the comments someone would know what they were. Now I'm off to see if I can find a recipe. Thanks
Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mix
Pampoen koekies, sounds just like pumpkin cookies!
@@patrikvonkohler8739 yes it's pumpkin fritters with cinnamon sugar
Ho my !!
That room and the place looks beautiful ! Hope you enjoyed it ! :D
Vuelvo en verte en la ruta y me alegro. Soy de Patagonia, Argentina y seguí tu viaje por mi país. "Recorrí" contigo lugares que de joven conocí. Lamenté tu partida de Perú y las dificultades que tuviste. No sabía de tí y te descubrí casualmente en tu viaje de India a Europa. Ahora conoceré África gracias a ti y a tu particular y maravilloso modo de mostrar los países. Que tengas suerte, Eterna Viajera : ))
This is the highlight of my day. Your interaction with the bike, the surroundings, the people and culture you meet, and last not least the viewers is amazing. You have got an outstanding ability to communicate with anything you meet, and to pass on your impressions to us, the spectators, as if we were present, by your side. You are teaching us a lot. Love your videos and your personality. 💖💖💖
Be careful and good luck! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
S.A. is still one of the most dangerous and strange lands nowadays...
🇿🇦 🇿🇦 🇿🇦
She's so courageous so, good things are chasing her
@@uydudanbak , indeed... ✊🏻
Yes it is strange - the first and third worlds in one country. And in my experience as a foreigner it isn't always easy to tell what is safe from what isn't. Dangerous looking places can be safe and safe looking places dangerous.
Far more dangerous places to visit. SA is not hell as everyone is lead to believe
@@leonardolupini3484 , seems to be so in many university towns and campuses in SA. However, again, not in all of them, like the University of KwaZulu-Natal... 🤔
Back on the road again! Normality has returned “Good Morning Internet”, travel, food and accomodation. Thank you, stay safe.
What a beautiful place and that meal looks delicious. You’re back in your element safe travels.
And the great Itchy Boots adventure begins.South Africa is serving up stunning beauty and I'll bet Noraly will take us all to the best. Thanks in advance.❤️❤️😍
The side you were given with your Bobotie and salad looks as though it is probably Vetkoek. Also a traditional South African food, very often sold by street vendors.
I've heard from friends in Zimbabwe that they often do not stop at lights in parts of the country where they are fearful of carjacking.
I think that one was just stuck on red which happens often as well 👍
Was in Joburg two years ago, you are correct, I hope she stays safe
I've heard of that for even stop signs in places like Gary, Indiana or parts of Detroit. Apparently even the police there advise to not stop.
Same on Brazil, there's a lot of places that we don't stop due to carjacking.
I've lived in a few townships around Durban in South Africa and I rarely stopped at any lights, treated them more like a yield sign. I had, on a few occasions, guns and knifes pulled on me as I came to a slight stop but avoided any issues via the accelerator.
Tears of joy in my eyes! Noraly is back on the road where she belongs. I am so looking forward to this new series. Can't wait.
Bravo Norely... merci pour ces belles images
So good to hear that famous "Let's go" again!!!
Almost, never been this early for your videos, keep riding, stay safe .
I lived in RSA for 12 years. The reason the traffic ignores red lights is to avoid carjackers. They would lie in wait for cars stopped at junctions then rob the driver and steal the car. It would be easy for them to knock you off your bike. A very dangerous country
very brave riding alone in South Africa good luck
Thank you for travelling our country,may you be made welcome.Cheers.
Bright Blue eyes, amazing smile ... then she speaks in English with that gorgeous Dutch accent .... ! So glad Noraly is back. Wasn't expecting the countryside around Jo' berg to be so beautiful and green.
Summer rainfall area. Very brown-yellow and dry in winter.
Damn I have missed “Good morning internet” wonderful to have you back. Stay safe
We are all back on the road with you again! Thank you and you are spoiling us with such a great ride already. Let's Go!
When I was a kid I toured Europe twice on my motorcycle. It seemed like a big adventure at the time but nothing like what you are doing. You are a good rider. You read the road ahead well and take the best route for obstacles and bad terrain. Guys like to go fast but steady wins the day. Your little Honda is superb. I went on a Honda too. They are super reliable.
Great to see you back on the road again at this moment with us locked down in the uk you ride for us
Seeing you back again has made my lonely lockdown weeks enjoyable again
The orange fluffy things with the bobotie are called pampoenkoekies, roughly translated it is called pumpkin cookies, but it is called pumpkin fritters in English, and it is mashed pumpkin mixed with flour, eggs, and cinnamon
"Oh, this is yummy yum-yum." The food looked great even before you took a bite. It's surprising how anxious I, myself, felt upon your riding a new, small motorcycle through Johannesburg, on the left side, and being unfamiliar with local traffic laws. And the intense heat. I am relieved to see you relaxing in a nice, peaceful place for the night with a good meal and beautiful room. It's a good start!
I nearly kakked myself. I'm not riding through there, or Pretoria, not with two cameras and a GPS. Centurion is bad enough.
Great to see a ride while we just start our 3rd month of lockdown in the UK, well done you
Good evening Noraly, it is 10:19 in the evening and a big 👍's up.
People talk about comfort food to make them feel better. Well your videos are my comfort..😁
There is a saying "You Meet The Nicest People On a Honda" You Noraly are at the very top of that list. 😊
Just one word to say dear Norely Amazing! thanks for making us travel with you!
It is already beautiful views you video. Ride On.
Driving on the left side is quite nerve racking for me ,even watching you do it so skillfully! Love the drone shots 👍
@michael quirk and Indians too😅😅.
@@srinidhit8298 And Australians
A word of advice, try not to stop frequently on the roadside... Isn't very safe. If you do, be a little wary of your surroundings.
My thoughts exactly & might be good idea to invest in High Powered Pistol,as Most wild Animals can get contrary when disturbed w/ Noise of Loud Vehicles.Ur cycle can outrun most of them,But could get surprised by Big Wild Cats or May be Rhinos down there.
@@edcain3676 i don't think that was Adarsh was referring to.
was "what" he was referring to i mean
@@edcain3676 I think Big cats and Rhinos are the least of her worries, humans are the most dangerous in those parts.
@@birgitrahm exactly
In SA we see robots as suggestions. Especially at night, in quieter areas, no one stops.

In the rest of the world they are known as 'traffic lights' 😁
Central America is the same way. A lot of people get robbed or hijacked at traffic lights.
Love the name! I’m so happy for you and for us to see you riding in a new country. Hello to everyone from 🇺🇸.
The best stories to watch are the ones that are interesting to the people they're actually happening to!
- Adam Savage -
You are excited, enthusiastic, good hearted, and captivating. That's why your channel is so entertaining. Cheers
2 days ago your video came up in my recommended, buying your bike. Now I'm hooked. When I finished high school in Old Rhodesia I hitchhiked from Zambia to South Africa. Would of loved to do it by bike. A school friend had a bike as in SA, you can get a bike license at 16 and he took me to riding on his bike to Suncity. Best and happiest times of my life.
Feel like I’ve been round the world with you Noraly, almost feel I could invite you round for tea! 🤣 stay safe ♥️
"Do as the locals do"... You'll fit right in :-D
As the average local not the most jackass 😄
Thank you for visiting our beautifull country.
Yes a "piece of cake" indeed after all the training sessions you went through back home ( Motocross Enduro). Good start for the series. God bless you and stay healthy.
Maybe another dirt course in SA?
Its like an eternity waiting for your adventure , stay safe always 🙏
-From the philippines
Those fluffy things you ate with the bobotie is called Pampoen koekies - pumpkin cookie and yes, it is very yummy
As for your hydration: I like to find a way to put the hydration pack either in my tank bag or strapped on the outside. On one setup I was able to crisscross the shoulder straps around and under the tank bag and still had full access inside the bag. I don't like to wear it either. Might not work for your setup but thought I'd put it out there just in case. Perhaps you could design your own "Itchy Boots tank bag w/hydration". Love your work. Glad you're able to get back out there exploring again! You always get me excited to do the same. God bless.
Remember when you are driving on the left the right lane is the fast lane or overtaking lane move to the left lane as soon as you can.
Hoi Noraly,
Kijk je ooit wel eens een episode terug? Kijk hoe jouw skills zich hebben ontwikkeld! En wat een geweldige verblijfplaats had je hier! Het is leuk om de episodes gewoon weer te kijken. Blijft genieten❤
Who's here in 2024 getting their Itchy Boots fix due to her injuries? Me and you, it seems 😊
Hahah yes indeed. I love to watch it again and again 😂❤
@@jennifer9120 I'm now rewatching the bad times in Peru, honestly the people in my country who whined about staying at home had it easy compared to Peruvians 😬
Seeing you back on the track again feels like a dear friend of the family has returned. Thanks for letting us all experience your journeys around the world. Godspeed Noraly!
I'm very excited for this series, can't wait to see the beautiful landscape of South Africa!
I'll bet that any motorrcycle that Noraly buys instantly becomes a big seller all over the world.
@AdventureDog Maybe too expensive for what it is!!
The CRF250L is already a big seller. :D
@@EliasJQuinteros LMFAO, nope, because the superlative of good is better.
@AdventureDog If it was just some random UA-camr and not someone who successfully traveled, they could be considered stupid. Regardless, the CRF250L is already successfull as it is. ;)

Amazing I suggested that name, anyway it's great to see you back where you belong 👍
my friend you're so brave, how can you go such a long long way all by yourself with a bike. always watching you every time l really enjoyed. keep going. may God always be with you throughout your journey.🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👍👍👍
im from South Africa, thanks for visiting our country.. you such a lovely soul. full of life
Welcome home to the open road!! Enjoyed the first ride out!! Hellooooo Africa!!
A new movie from Noraly! The weekend is saved!😎
I hope you get a chance to visit Nelspruit. I spent a week there in 2017 and loved every minute of it. I stayed a night at Loerie’s Call Guest House and was sad I didn’t stay longer. The views at night of the valley were spectacular, and the on-site restaurant was some of the best food I have ever eaten. Also, if you get a chance to go down to Cape of Good Hope, it is so worth a visit. I took the tram up the hill to see where the two oceans meet and it was an amazing site. And don’t forget about the penguins along the coast!
The long awaited moment!! Noraly is back on the road this time with Savannah!!! 👏👏👏💛
Loving the view from the bike! If I place my eyes close to the screen, it feels like I'm riding! lol
Hey Omar, you're one of a few photographers on youtube I watch. If you haven't already I highly recommend you watch her videos from Season 1 onwards.
@@rrecee2639 Thanks! Seen it. I'm on both this season and am currently in Sweden...season 3.

That's exactly how I've been watching all her videos :)
I am legitimately checking my mirrors on her bike...
Sure enjoy your videos. Thanks.
I'm a South African in Britain. Enjoy the beautiful country and local cuisine. This will be a great experience for you. Nice to join and see the local fimiliar regions.
It is amazing you are still on the road even such global situation. For me in Poland sitting/working in the house when temperature is near a zero degrees and from time to time is snowing such view of your trip in sunny weather condition makes me really happy. Have a good rest of your way.
Just found you channel, I'm based in Cape Town (born in Zambia) with friends in the Netherlands. Your travels are inspirational. Good luck in North Africa, I'm sorry I missed you're Southern African adventures at the time.

I've just started watching your videos, which I've been binge watching by the way. So good to see you visited my hometown, Johannesburg.
