- In this episode, it's attempt #2 to ride south along the west coast of Madagascar. After the Kawasaki of Didier broke down, he got another motorcycle to ride.. but, this specimen comes with it's own set of troubles.. But first, we are spending 2 days on a 'tuff-tuff' to Morombe, where the sand begins...

I notice not alot of people give Didier any props. dude is a trooper! never seen him complain or anything and the ride isn't easy there! respect!
I loved his description of the china bikes preformance at the end.... bassicaly it powers out in the sand and the front digs in and you crash hahahha
His name is Didier, not DJ 🙏🏻😊
@@Gunavati1 thanks for the correction. edited my comment 🤘
@@john0270 most he has ever spoken so far, that says it all
@@AlanKelly-nm9lx ????
Broken roads, broken bikes, no electricity, no food & yet she films, edits & uploads without fail now that's some sheer discipline and commitment right there, a true hero miss noraly ❤❤
Noraly is one tough cookie! She is stronger, smart, mentally sharp, resourceful, adventurous and a fantastic TH-cam creator.
Quand tu as fait des milliers de kilomètres...tu développe des talents extraordinaire.
But what happened to Didiers bike? I must have missed that.
Don't forget that this is the way she is making money. No uploads, no visitors, no money.
@@captain_context9991 It finally quit on him and couldn't get it started, no matter how hard they tried. They loaded both bikes back up on a boat and went back to Morondava for a newer, but smaller Chinese bike. Reloaded them on the boat and went back down the coast to start again.
Norally your travels in the world have completed my last days...I am 83 now, an american retired to Antigua Guatemala... I had visited the cathedral ruins you visited...I am still a flat tracker these days, just not coming off the line any more... the memories of those days cause me to grin ear to ear as tears come to my eyes.... Muchas gracias my friend for showing me the world.!!....I will be appreciating your travels to the end.
Phil. Love Antigua. I can understand why you retired there. Great motorcycle rides in that area too.
WOW
It's "Noraly" just one L
Noraly's drone videos add so much context and texture to the amazing geography she travels. Her bike handling skills are narrowly eclipsed by her film editing skills. A remarkable woman on a remarkable journey. I suspect those of us who follow Noraly live vicariously thru her adventures.
I'm 71 and really wish I had had the chutzpah to really realize my dreams. Instead I worked and met all the "expectations" that were placed on me instead of taking risks. You are awesome Noraly I really admire your conviction to do what you want and like while you are young and able!!!!
Don't be so hard on yourself! We all do! Noraly is an exeption! Just enjoy!
I am same age Coco but I don’t regret anything about working far to hard long hours and having a big wonderful family. Yes now I am very tired but have still achieved wonderful things and am still alive enough to enjoy Noraly on her adventures. I am sure sometimes she wishes she had a regular 9 to five job and young children to keep her poor and tired too! Live long and stay smiling Coco! 🖖
It's not too late ...I'm 68, have came off the bikes and trying to get a 38 foot yacht out to go sailing, well it beats paying the ferries to get me out of the U K 😊
I’m 71 and just came back from time alone in Malta. You’ve got time to do things…
@Cocora22 there is value in anything a person does or accomplishes, we just don't all do the same things. Be proud of your accomplishments, and celebrate even the small wins, they are still wins. 😊👍👍👍👍👍
Didier is an excellent rider! What an exhausting day for him! He’s a champ. I hope he’s okay from the cactus needles.
this episode was the best ever. The hair of DJ, cactus thorns on his body, his fallings, his frustrations, his weird riding style, and also the last scene where he talks about his day...
kudos to DJ. Respect, DJ, you are the symbol of dedication.
I know, right? I mentally cheered for him during the ride and laughed out loud in that last scene. DJ has an awesome sense of humor!
Didier
Didier..not DJ
@@bobbidipasquale9043 I did too🤣
It would have bee impossible without DJ - this will open peoples eye's and know what to expect if you visit this wonderful country - such hardworking people.......
Didier's resilience and adaptability are truly commendable. Despite the challenges with the Kawasaki and the new hurdles faced with the replacement motorcycle, his spirit and dedication to the journey along the west coast of Madagascar remain inspiring. His expertise and companionship make navigating even the toughest paths enjoyable for everyone involved. Here's to more adventures with Didier-his presence makes every mile worth it!
💯
I vote videos of Itchy Boots for receiving an official ceremony awarding this young woman recognition for her contribution to worldwide harmony in a time of so much conflict. And because they are just simply AMAZING on so many levels !
Lets not go overboard
She would be a well deserving UNESCO or UNICEF ambassador of good will
Agreed! AND WHAT AN ATTITUDE through thick and thin. She is content with everything. The food is fine for her, the sleeping arrangements, carrying gas in water bottles. She really rolls with ALL the punches.
“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.”Noraly you have been reading so many pages. Thank you for reading these pages with us. Team Noraly all the way.❤
This wins the internet! 😊You can’t find stuff like hers on National Geographic. TV has nothing on our Noraly. ❤
👏👏👏😎👍‼️
Well said, traveling add so much to life.
@@thetraveler5798 👏👏👏
@@Luckymizinga 🤗🙏😌❗
Noraly couldn't have had a better companion. Didier is fantastic.The camaraderie between them is great.
Didier has been a gem in these episodes. Kudos to them all
These are parts of the world that have NEVER been covered in such a way. Up close, meeting the people, the landscapes, nature and infrastructure Great stuff.
True that I especially love those great big trees reminds me of our puriri but bigger like our Kauri but taller thanks for the ride thru Madagascar
Good words to share👏
Just wish she'd give the monetary details. I might want to go one day too if I knew.
Is it going to be another boring rainy day in the Netherlands ? But no it's Itchy Boots Wednesday. When I receive a notification from YT that Noraly posted a new video . I jump up ( well jump ...I'm 73) , make a nice cup of coffee , put on my Itchy Boots cap ( bought from her website) and enjoy her new adventures. It's going to be another good day. Thanks Noraly .
Fedde
This is turning into an addiction. Can't sleep...have to wait for Noraly. Midnight in Australia! But every adventure is so worth it!❤
Very nice place hey
Mooi gesproken Fedde! Groeten uit Rotterdam.
@@Eenvan bedankt 👍
@@karinkuno842😂 It’s the same in our house! Honey we got a new Itchy!
Sailing boats on the edge of the beach as the sun sets is magical
The challenges Noraly and Didier face on this part of the adventure capture the tough (tuf-tuf 😄) side of travel. It's true, a rider can even end up in a cactus with his bike. However, your resilience, endurance, and ability to find humor in tough times are what make your journey so special👍
Hehehe....and just when i thought that the scene of a rider ending up in a cactus on his bike only happens in a Tv series of the 3 Stooges or the roadrunner cartoon series....and then it happened to Didier!!😂😂😂.....just hilarious!
@@LordKarma101 Looney Tunes - Road Runner cartoons.. hmmm, interesting 😁. If Didier is more like Wile E. Coyote, then.. can Noraly be the Road Runner? Instead of saying the classic line "Beep Beep!", she says "Whoop whoop!" 😂
It's so remarkable that Noraly makes an adventure out of a big obstacle. That's why we fallow her because she never ever gives up.👏👏👏👍👍👍
We are all living vicariously thru her. Imagining we are also on the adventure.
Sadly we repeat our daily rituals of work, work and sleep.
So glad to watch her videos all the time. Prayers for this wonderful lady
Hallo Noraly,
Maar gewoon in Nederlands, mijn taal en geboorte land en zeker niet zo machtig om mij in Engels uit te drukken.
Zo trots op je Noraly, wat een avontuurlijke reizen en volg alles.
Ik geboren in 1965 en nu ziek door een hersentumor en als wens dat ik weer 20 was.
Als mijn geheugen het toe laat heb ik je daarover eens bericht.
De geweldige avonturen die jij beleefd, de video verslagen die je daarover maakt geven mij het gevoel dat ik het ook beleef. Ik was te veel met werk/carrière om daar ook maar even over te denken en is wens nu vervlogen. Nu blijven je avonturen de hoogtepunten van de week en kan soms niet wachten op een nieuwe aflevering. Mocht je in Nederland een lezing geven of een bijeenkomst bijwonen, zal ik alles maar dan ook alles in het werk stellen om jou te ontmoeten. Ga vooral zo door met de imponerende avonturen. Mijn dank daarvoor.
Jan Blaauwbroek.
Wat een mooie reactie, ik ben ook helemaal weg van haar als persoon en hoe zij iedereen met respect benadert, geniet van deze aflevering en het beste , 😊
My best wishes Jan.
Fuerza y ha no rendirse como.. tenemos el ejemplo de Noraly q nunca se rinde.
Many Blessings to you Jan..🙏✨️
Veel sterkte gewenst Jan 😊
The challenges. The overcoming. The smiles. The satisfaction. The onward struggle to get to your destination, but the ride remains the joy. Thank you for sharing these vids Noraly. You are an inspiration.
I'm longterm mentally sick at home from work and just received terrible news that'll hugely negatively (and unfairly) impact me and my partner's financial situation with no hopes of any solution. After sulking for two days straight unable to focus on anything or be motivated to do anything, I saw Itchy Boots uploaded and thought "Oh ja" it's wednesday. So I did what I always do, which is to make my favourite bowl of instant noodles and watch the video while I eat. When I came across Itchy Boots for the first time a few months ago I happened to be eating a bowl of noodles of a specific flavour. I don't exactly remember how or why but I thought it'd be fun to always eat that same bowl of noodles whenever I watch an itchy boots video to see if I could condition myself like Pavlov did with dogs. Not only do I now instantly crave those noodles whenever I see an itchy boots video pop up on my feed (and I think of her videos whenever I walk past the pack of noodles in the kitchen!), but I've also conditioned myself to be happy and fulfilled whenever I watch her video's. So that's how I felt as I was watching this video today, thankyou! Just thought I'd let you know how much your videos have positively impacted a viewer. As someone with Agoraphobia along with other diagnoses, your video's motivate me to one day be able to do 1% of what you do. If not, I'll just keep watching!
Every episode of Itchy Boots is uplifting to me, too! Since you mentioned noodles, I've found the dietary discussion on Dr. Shawn Baker's TH-cam channel very helpful, perhaps you'll find it helpful as well!
Didier had a pretty hard day at the office today. Tough guy took some hard beating today, chapeau ! 👏🏻
an incredible chapter.... Madagascar has it all, the landscapes, the good people, the good motorcycles and the bad motorcycles....And those baobabs!!!! Since they are not so tall and are grouped together, they look like giants gathered together, talking, greeting the drone... they are incredible. I hope Francois is watching this video and ALREADY sending a Suzuki HAYABUSA with motocross wheels to Didier!!!! WE ARE ALL DIDIER!!!!! Come on Francois, HELP DIDIER!!!!!!
Yeah liked the drone trip!
Baobab are tall very tall
Edit: Those at the end of video are relatively shorter yes. It s another type of baobab than the previous ones she saw that are very tall.
@@jonpetter8921 they are growing in a desert, so it's clear they don't have all they resources they need....Best regards!
@@Gyodofer Indeed, it ins t quite "desert" though, kinda semi-desert...
Being a relatively new comer to this channel I can now say that I've watched every single episode and videos released by Itchy Boots. Including her ABR and QnA videos. What an outstanding channel. Noraly is the most incredible individual on TH-cam. Thoroughly addicted. Totally enjoyed her latest episode. Let's go.
Yes another video from our Dutch female motorbike Warrior Noraly...🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
There’s no travelogue that compares to Noraly’s. She takes us off the beaten track to places of beauty. Her drone footage is always a highlight to her adventures. Thank you for taking us with you.
Aren't those huge trees amazing? I've never seen anything else like them in all the world.
Same here. Truly amazing! @@voiceofreason9238
I loved seeing the fantastic beaches. Morombe looks like a place to get away from it all. Props to Didier for being the kind of trooper you need. I felt for him this episode. I hope less sand ahead for him! Those ancient Baobab again are fantastic! I can’t wait for next video!
Your filming and editing are superb. Far beyond a professional crew just doing their job. You don’t tell a story, you live the story, which makes it so much more real. 🙏
I'm reading the comment, and everybody acts like it's normal! It's like, wow, double wow! Imagine the story she will tell her kids and grandkids. I wish I had an adventure like that. First, it takes the heart of a lion. I'm afraid mine fall just a little short; if not, I would follow in her footsteps to infinity and beyond. Life can indeed be an adventure. She could be in one of those cereal box. I used to watch adventure stories in the backwoods of Alaska, but hers was extreme, and she took it to another level. I said my peace has been meaning to say it!
On the assumption here, Noraly has her important job to do, not spending her life having and raising children. Like who would show us our world on two wheels like this? We need the Noraly's of the world, dedicated to their higher callings, of their choice. With the condition of the ecosystem, we may not have many more generations that can enjoy such affluent pursuits. I'm glad she choose a life of adventure and exploration on a motorcycle. Her travel stories are here now for all to see as a result.
@@jr.6199 I'm grateful she has chosen this path, the epic heroine journey. I remember as a kid watching Jacques Cousteau underwater documentaries and being so fascinated. Noraly is on a whole different level with her journey.
I'm a veteran and I admire the drive you have! I feel so lost in life and wish I had even an ounce of what makes you so free and forward driven. Watching your videos is a breath of fresh air....but leave a person sad that they end. Keep living the best live for us all Noraly!
Norely when you get done with your bike riding adventures, you need to write a book, I so admire you for taking and experiencing life according to your expectations.❤
Didier... what a fighter. Being a guide is one thing. But on a bike in Madagascar it's on a whole new level.
This past week I put on one of your videos while babysitting my 2 year old niece and her reaction was, “Woooow, she go fast!!” 😂 I think you have a new fan. Thank you, Noraly, for being someone we can all aspire to be ❤
I watch with my grandchildren as well and we always bring out the map of the world to locate where Noraly is traveling. The five year old is now watching an adventure family called The River and Wilder and Archer Show with children leading the way and is asking her mom for merch! I have her bandana!
Beautiful drone view. Never realized just how big Madagascar is. 🇨🇦 those baboa trees look like bottles with braid hair bobs.
These little baobabs are also called Bottle-trees....
Yep and they remind me of a sweet potato growing some sprouts. Awesome.
Those trees were so stunning, and timing of dramatic music is exquisite, and fits so easily with what I am seeing. Aerial video is beyond my world, really enjoy it. Onward Noraly!
This was one of Noraly's most spectacular episodes. She takes viewers to a new old world and demonstrates extraordinary courage, determination and humanity. For videography on the move, Noraly has no peer. Alluaudia procera are the desert like plants and remind me of Bonaire.
In India especially in Bangalore, I used to fight with my mom when she used to watch the TV serials that were telecasted once a week.
Now I understand what "addiction" means. I always wait very eagerly to know what's gonna happen in the next episode of your ride.
Sorry mom, I now understand your anticipation....😊
Only Noraly could be so cheerful and laughing under all these difficult conditions. Fantastic drone shots. She is bringing a world which we Will otherwise never know or see.
Whenever i saw Itchyboots video I feel like being positive person, i believe there is still beautiful people in the world.
Maybe it's her sound or attitude towards life or tons of patience, don't know. But gives me courage for sure.
Stay safe keep traveling Noraly ❤
its definitely an inspiration, sometimes I want to do more adventurous things and my brain overthinks and gets discouraged by not being able to solve all the logistics from start to finish.... sometimes you just have to start, and adapt along the way! I am wanting to do a motorcycle trip into south america, and imjammed up on the panama to columbia bit.
Wow! Best wishes for journey @@john0270
If someone told me I get to ride with Noraly but I have to take this 200cc anemic China bike in soft sand with a pack on it and my back I'd say "Sign me up, Lets Go!" Its such a rare opportunity that ANYONE gets to ride with Noraly. What amazing scene selections she chooses. The zoom out from her alone on the beach is breathtaking. Super Happy. Thank ye Kindly Noraly. Peace! ❤❤❤
The opportunity of a lifetime for sure!!
You can’t compare the bikes but let’s be honest Noraly’s riding skill is now on another level. Dakar ‘25 ? I bet my house on her being up in top elite. Fabulous videos great personality, grit and determination and positivity on another level
Poor Didier. Now he have to ride the rest the journey in a mule while Noraly had a horse 😂. Jokes aside, what a day. 2 days embarked in a boat crossing the seas of Mozambique channel and after that covering all of the cactus Sandy tracks. Lots of struggle for Didier. In one of his falls off seeing him covered with spikes were harsh to watch.. I am glad he has a proper equipment protection that Noraly seems don't have it. Ride carefully Noraly in these dirty cactus tracks. 🌵
She has full equipment protection which is worn under her moto-x shirt..
I don't understand why they sent Didier a junky replacement bike (?)
@@bigcity2085 I don't understand that either. The owner would know the type of terrain they were facing. I also hope he is paid well. He is a skilled rider; humble and interesting.
These cactus look similar to what we have in the south west USA i believe they are called Cholaa and believe me you don’t ever want to fall in to one of them
When the boat "quietly" started, and pulled away in the dark of early morning, it reminded me of tent camping. There's always someone who gets an early start, and I'll always hear them, no matter how hard they try to be silent. Not a problem though, I just wish them good luck, and get back to slee....well....not sleep, but more like deep "rest". That's got to be exhausting riding that little bike in deep sand. Sorry to see Didier end up in the cactus. No matter how tough a guy is, it's still has to hurt. Such a beautiful country and people.
She is hard working
What is AICD please?
@@jodijones9765 Good question, wish I knew.
@@AlanKelly-nm9lx Hey, I don't get it either. Enlighten us.
I feel sorry for Didier, man really struggling with that bike 🏍 much love ❤
Thank you for taking us to places where we would never reach and for always giving your best whatever the situation. You rock, we love your smile!
Incredible, what one person can do with a bike, a drone and some cameras !
What a great comment, but I believe all kinds of support big and small ones are required to keep on the way, and of course a brave soul.
Takes more than that!
@2:07 What a beautiful sailboat.
Wikipedia says "The term "dhow" is sometimes also applied to certain smaller lateen-sail rigged boats traditionally used in the Red Sea, the eastern Mediterranean and the Persian Gulf area, as well as in the Indian Ocean from Madagascar to the Bay of Bengal."
I am not sure where your best skills are. You are an excellent rider, a fantastic camera operator, a great editor and the most beautiful personality anyone could wish for
Agree, difficult to choose. She is an overachiever in all areas!!😆
Pauvre Didier! He must’ve felt a bit discouraged with that bike! What a trooper! 😊 I might add that I got some courage to realize some of my dreams by watching you Noraly. I got my motorcycle license in 2018 and now I’m also a truck driver. I wear the Itchy boots neck scarf when I work to remind me to keep going even if I’m afraid and to never forget that I can accomplish anything if I put my mind to it. 🎉
Season 7 Episode 100. WOW how times just flies, Madagascar is a challenge. Didier speaks the language all adventure motorcyclists know. There is absolutely nothing boring here on your youtube channel, I Love it so much.
These last 3 episodes have been some of the best episodes in all seasons
I haven’t ridden a motorcycle for fifty years or so, but I find the filming so realistic I am leaning on my chair taking turns.
me too! Lol
That cactus that Didier landed in looked wicked. I hope he's ok. The drone shots in this one were pretty amazing! Thanks, Noraly!
Wat een fantastische avonturen in deze idyllische omgeving,doet me terug denken aan de reizen en avonturen die ik lang geleden heb mogen maken met mijn vrouw. Herinneringen maken is een levensbehoefte, kan niet wachten op U volgende avontuur 👍👍👍👍
In case nobody has told you, your camera work is exquisite. The drone footage of the approaching storm takes my breath away!
I ride my stationary bike while watching. It's funny that I slow down and speed up, almost like riding with a group!😂
Dicier is a really competent rider as well, the fact that he can ride as well as he has on a cheap Chinese bike is proof!
It's the rider not the bike, the errors are not ideal examples. But in defense of the bike, it dutifully serves populations around the planet, just like that "cheap Chinese" phone in your pocket... the arrogance of those who defame the products or the countries that make the life of others so liveable. Maybe could consider what devices people are watching this on right now?
@@jr.6199 as usual, you jump to a negative argument without reading the context of my message. I was complimenting Didier’s riding ability on a bike that they both have acknowledged is not as capable as either the KTM or the Kawasaki. I did not denigrate the Chinese bike, it is a fine machine for what it is. What did I say that was arrogant?
I just can't wrap my head around being able to go on such an adventure. Thanks for taking me along with your video content. I'm an old guy brought up when adventurers would spend years out collecting content, all on their own funding (cash flow out with nothing coming in) only to produce a film later that could recover the costs and hopefully make a profit. Being able to have cash flow in while also producing near real-time content is amazing in itself.
Magical place , not many tourists, so the places don’t get overwhelmed and run down . Lovely Noraly.
Madagascar has been your biggest challenge. I’ve watched nearly every video of yours and I am so so impressed with Madagascar thank you Norley❤
I think Liberia and Cameroon was the biggest
Liberia and Cameroon was definitely 'hard core' as Noraly likes to say
@@olubibabalola with the right bike she's ripping through Madagascar.
Eastern Nigeria, Cameroon and Centre Africa. That stretch was the toughest
@@charybdis8113 What made them tough ? didn t see the episodes.
By far far far Itchy Boots is the BEST content in TH-cam... No competition by anybody!
Love the way Noraly stops to film those trees at the end, possibly catching footage that nobody has ever captured before, those trees look like overgrown pieces of ginger, fantastic what an artist Noraly thank you.
I don't think you could have found a better traveling companion than Diedier. He's a person like you, good or bad....keeps things in perspective and enjoys the ride. Great video. Those Baobab trees at the end.....WOW! SO amazing! What an experience to see in person. Thank you for that. Ride safe Noralee and dear Diedier..
Wow I’m completely blown away by your videos! This quality content is not normal.
I found your channel yesterday after a guy mentioned it on another channel. Then I started watching the journey through Congo, but then I realized that I must watch the whole journey through Africa. So now I have started watching from the rally training and I can’t stop😂😂😂 Thank you so much for this amazing experience. Greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰 ❤😊😊
Noraly.. your talent is unrivaled... you not only ride like you were born to it, you educate your viewers. Your choice of music is always perfect, your drone footage is beautiful and you always wear the most radiant smile ...♥️ Your talent as a Creator is truly Professional in every sense of the word. Thank you for carrying us all with you. Blessings from St. Charles, Missouri USA.
I'll say it again: Thank you Noraly for helping me discovering my country❤ Madagascar is so big and it is not possible for us to travel it.Thank you again!!!!You said Madagascar has it all hum...You are only on the west part of the island!!!!You have to put in your bucket list the other parts of the country....
Great job itchy boots your videos, always put a smile on my face you are helping millions of people see what God created
Your drone piloting skills, riding skills and editing skills are getting so fine tuned Noraly! And props to Didier in going through with this!
What an encouragement Noraly is to all the viewers to her channel. I hope her guide does not give up! He had had so many challenges! Beautiful videography of Madagascar. Thank you for sharing with the World!
This guy was an angel. That country is no joke. It was worth riding together.
Fantastica! Cinematographic really, such a diversity of takes, from the magnificent beach sunsets, the sail ships along the coast, cool cactus forest, and the difficult ride on the paths. I do think of Didier as a great rider to guide and accompany Noraly, translating and buffering. Must say that their communicating in multilingual conversations, with a bit of dancing/perfomance does cause a smile. And the music was also diverse, fun, and dramatic to round it all up. Indeed we like your videos very much. Los mejores deseos desde Baja California :) Gracias
Hey Noraly what’s DJs story? Does he work as a guide / sweep for Francois. Could we help him out a little? I’d be happy to crowd fund him. Good idea? Something about your Madagascar trip that is so familiar like my mad rides in the bush in Australia.
You’ve gotten pretty good at sand and mud riding in the past year or so. Well done, that’s some of the hardest off road skills to master. Carrying speed in mud and sand are two things that take a bit of talent.👍🍸
Oh wow….I can never say it enough…your music accompaniments are amazing. Perfect with the drone footage of the oncoming rain over all of that section of the island. Enough water riding…off to the sand…some of Noraly’s favorite. I know water cooling is good but not with precious drinking water and wet pants are not so comfortable but nothing Noraly lets bother her. I think Noraly summed up Madagascar perfectly…it has everything! Too bad Didier had such a hard time. I know he misses his Kawasaki. I never tire of baobab trees…the remind me of giant adeniums. Great video, Noraly!
🇮🇹 Here WE are, folks! Gooood Afternoon, Noraly, Internet, sisters and brothers, let’s gooooo, as usual! 🇮🇹
Great day to you and yours Stefano! ☺️
Thank you, my best wishes for you too 😊
Didier is the man! What a great riding buddy. Riding a crappy bike in difficult conditions and not a word of complaint. Thank you Noraly. This adventure has been one of my favorites.
Well, this time my utmost respect and compassion goes to Didier. He is a true adventurist an dirt biker. He will be struggling with his cactus wounds quite a while. The matter does not end when the thorns have been pulled out of the skin and flesh. It hurts for a long time and inflammation occurs.
Stunning how good Noraly handles the bike in the sand !! And isn't it amazing how good the KTM performs and how reliable it is?
I am enchanted by the landscapes, the coast and estuaries. The grove of bottle trees is incredibly impressive. Apparently they are huge Moringa trees (Moringa drouhardii JUM). What an amazing country !!
I set my alarm for 15.55 every Wednesday and Sunday. The highlight of my week!
I love the boat footage. Cool sailboats with topsails flying...😊
Those trees are wild, great drone shots.
Beautiful Madagascar presented by the best presenter -Noraly! It is good that Didier has complete protective wear. Again, thanks for bringing us along.
Wow ---what awesome drone photography --- of the distant, approaching storm (at about the three-minute mark) ---
truly among your greatest!
Thank you so much.
fabulous aerial shots of the coast and the baobab trees - like a group of ladies having a tea dance! Sandy rides look like fun.
Exactly what I've just thought. That shot is one in a million and now spread around the world, not sure if Noraly can guess the impact of these videos through next generations, it's a historic recording to be appreciated for centuries.
Awesome ! Awesome !! Awesome!!! This Madagascar series is amazing throughout all episodes.
The drone footage of the sandbars and the brooding skies was truly beautiful. Thank you for brightening up cold, wet England. Love your work!
There were so many stunning shots in this episode, but that stand of Baobabs blew my mind. I watched that scene half a dozen times.
I kept imagining how there might have been large swathes of these trees once, stretching out for miles. That would have been a stunning sight to see.
Yet another astonishing video from Noraly. This is why my friends and I hang out so badly, twice a week, for the next episode. Amazing 🤗
Noraly, it's so much fun watching you live your best life.
I don't think that another human exists that can so naturally highlight the good things on any route, hotel, stranger, village, or situation. You're a role model for...everyone. Thank you. We could all do better!
What an adventure, beautiful scenery, the colours, the people…….wow
Love following the adventures of Noraly and the way she shares the World with us! Video, drone footage and Noraly's commentary are incredible and I find myself always waiting for the next TH-cam episode!
What a beautiful country! However, I can understand why there is not any 'tourists' there. It takes our intrepid Itchy Boots to get there. You call upon all your experience, skills and dedication to show it to us.
"To boldly go where no one has gone before"!! 😍🙏💪😲😃
Be Well Safe Travels Dear Noraly! 💖💖🏍🤠
Woo hoo! Another half hour with Noraly!
Oh Didier with the cactus spikes!! I hope the sand situation improves for him.
What a sunset! Noraly gets a lifetime of memories in a month. What an adventurer! None like you anywhere
Your humor is on point, always puts a smile on my face!
Stunning photography and what a beautiful country despite the challenges.
Didier is one tough young man. Doesn’t complain or carry on even though he must be so frustrated with the replacement bike. Struggling with the soft sand. Numerous falls and that one into the enormous cactus must have been horrible. Kudos young man. Together with Noraly you have made a great contribution to the Itchy Boots community. 👍👏🥂
Beautiful adventure. Didier is a great companion who takes things the way they come. Keep safe and keep the fire burning Noraly
Noraly you're fresh as ever, what a life and what a soul. The feeling of traveling is something unique, love everything you update, big time for you dear Noraly and for us grateful followers🌍
What a beautiful ride! The track was amazing and your aerial view provides an incredible experience. Noraly, you share absolutely the best adventures episodes! So happy that you all made the ride safely! Ride safe!
As a Malagasy living abroad US, Canada I appreciate more the beauty my native country has to offer; you’re making it even more interesting to see and learn. Thanks for sharing
Whoever equipped Didier for this adventure owes him an apology. The man is a trooper.
Noraly and Didier!
Keep on bringing us these great adventures in the amazing roads of Madagascar!
💪🏻❤️🌍
and the Oscar for aerial drone videography goes to.....
I worked for a company that was to supply equipment to build a road along the coast of Madagascar. The full coast line. The cost was phenomenal and eventually abandoned. Thank god! Could you imagine spoiling such a beautiful place. Thanks for showing Noraly
I must be the last person to see Itchy Boots today. I absolutely loved the sailboats ⛵️ Living in Arizona, I can’t remember the last time I saw one. I could almost smell the sea air. Thank you 🙏 Noraly.
