  • In this episode, I am riding to Kribi. On the way, between the towns of Loum and Yabassi - the road turns to an absolute disaster. I have never ridden such a difficult jungle track in my life! I drop my motorcycle in an unfortunate way, and the slippery mud makes it impossible to lift my bike back up on my own.

      It interesting the motivation that certain people have to help their fellow man, It makes me think of Jesus and how he traveled about showing love to everyone, that caring love, the love of what our God creator of all wants us to be, yet alot of us fall short. We have a loving God that he himself came down from spirit born unto a man Jesus, to show us, and wanting us to ask of forgiveness for the wrong things we do in our life. Put our faith in Him, his son who took that payment for sin who was like a man but without sin, who we condemned to death by curcifiction. yet after 3 days rose from the dead, and has been take up to heaven. God love all his people and made a way because we are all not perfect, given us the opertunity to enter into heaven through faith in Jesus. all He asks is to prove what we believe to be perfect, if we make a mistake and we are sincere let us ask forgiveness to Jesus, and he will make us clean again. John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

    Also the episode was a great commercial for Mosko Moto, the Washington company who makes Noraly’s luggage. That right bag was under water, but when opened it was dry inside. Mosko’s motto is hard gear for hard travel. Noraly is one of their best ambassadors and testers for that matter.

Thinking of some of those other challenges they each had their unique circumstances and this one ranks up there on the list but in ways its not as bad, though she still has a long way to go. I know she does not like to damage Alaska and that might bother her more than anything because Alaska, and her luggage is same as or equal to home and its contents for most of us. Peace!

    Noraly’s journey across Cameroon is like therapy for me! I grew up in Cameroon in the 70/80s and southern parts of the country are very wet - especially the regions she is traversing now. Those roads remind me of the old days when we loitered around to push vehicles that were stuck during the rainy seasons. Cameroon is very big by land mass and it’s impossible to maintain the local roads. Nevertheless, it’s a very rich and fertile land and very diverse; hence, Cameroon is known as mini Africa. Waiting in suspense for what happened next!

      You grew up in Cameroon in the 70/80s? I bet you that after 50 years things have not improved yet and it is still as bad as ever!! Impossible to maintain the local roads as Cameroon is very big by land?? Are you kidding? There are bigger countries with more diverse and difficult terrain and bigger land mass and yet their roads are well maintain. So stop giving excuses for Cameroon...just admit that like in most African countries even though they are rich in natural resources, their infrastructure is just simply atrocious and non-existence as they are run by a bunch of corrupted politicians who live in big palaces and drive around in their luxury vehicles. It is sad but unfortunately it is the reality.

      Yes, I have been asking myself many times why this is so difficult for Noraly, although her bike and tyres are way better than those the locals are using. Her skills and experience are out of question. But it's obviously the high center of mass in comparison. Noraly would need a lower bike that makes it easier to just stretch out the legs to the sides and keep the bike upright no matter what.
