- In this episode, I am riding from Managua, to Isla de Ometepe in Nicaragua. But not before I get a feel of the water inside Laguna de Apoyo and ride through the centre of the colonial town of Granada. The ferry crossing to the volcanic island of Ometepe however, turns out to be a little rougher than I anticipated...

Mad respect Noraly, eating during a rough Ferry ride and not getting sick!
That girl can eat for Holland!
How do you think the Dutch had such a naval empire, theyre practically born on boats
“Perseverance is rewarded!” as you said Noraly. And I would add: your good spirits are contagious, and your determination to share with us your adventures is genuine. Thank you for that!
She lives it every day!
Almost 1 million subscribers, every single one earned and deserved. Keep on riding, you´re quite the inspiration for me!
Noraly definitely deserve more than 1m subs...the quantity and quality of the video is top notch...compared to my country television programme,this channel is 1000x much better and it is free too..
LETS GOOOOO…….!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🏁
It is International Women's Day tomorrow. You are such an ambassador for what that represents and an example to us all about achievement and embracing other cultures, always with a smile. Super smile.
Noraly... hopefully you read this. I live in British Columbia. You'll probably be going through here eventually on your way to Alaska. Canada has fairly tight restrictions on drone flying so you may want to apply ahead of time for permission to do so. British Columbia is a very beautiful Province so drone footage would be super!! You may even want to contact tourism to help get a permit as it will no doubt promote the Province with your high viewer count.
Also I've mentioned before to perhaps take the Stuart Cassiar highway as it's very remote and beautiful. Also going that way, with a short side trip, you would get to enter the "pan-handle at Hyder Alaska". You would even get an opportunity to see Glaciers there. All the best to you and thanks for sharing your journey...
Thumbs up so she might see this. I sure would like to see some drone shots from BC!
@@originalresqme the best drone shots I've seen in BC is from The Story Till Now you-tube channel. They live in Canada but are on holiday in the USA right now. Go back a few moths for some epic video's. Go Noraly!!!
@@Steven-zx7uo Thanks!
Perfectly stated. I've told friends, "if you want to ride to Alaska to say you've done it, I get it. But if you want to ride great roads and meet great folks along the way, just stay in B.C. Cassiar Highway is fabulous.. Wanted to camp at a site named "rabid Grizzly" camp site... but no, decided to go a bit further down the road. Might try to get the officials to rename that place.
@@richardmourdock2719 Up in the Yukon I had a Grizzly Bear follow us 10 miles out of the bush when my Jeep broke down! Luckily when we crossed a creek the wind was in our direction so we smelled him but he didn't smell us... lol
Hola....he descubierto tus vídeos y no paro de mirarlos....te felicito.me.encamtan...eres una mujer guerrera y emprendedora....
Y te felicito por lo educada y amable que eres....desde argentina te.envio los.mejores deseos...en tu viaje....de un motociclista para otra motociclista......
Again, just totally incredible. Your smiles and laughter makes my day. I can't help but laugh along. It's no wonder locals are so happy to help you out, you are just a ray of sunshine. Thank you for yet another wonderful episode.
Zooo jaloers op jou -;)
Lovely curiosity you share with us all, how lucky are we?! 💯🤙🏼😁Just love when your VolcanoGeek bubbles to the surface. The verdant area reminds me of the similar lushness found in the hills and mountains of Puerto Rico! Ya gotta go, Noraly! Similar Spanish architecture as well, that Church reminding me of the oldest one in Puerto Rico, San German, 16th century I believe. The same facade, many more steeps steps leading up to the Church. I know, I’ve climbed them all! 💪🏻🤣🤩👍TY again Noraly.
THANKS MS. NORALY!❤️ FOR SHARING INCREDIBLE TRAVEL STORIES ONLINE, SO WE CAN TAKE INSPIRATION FROM YOUR EXTENSIVE TRAVEL EXPERIENCES. I HAVE LEARNED A LOT OF THINGS FROM YOU...RIDE SAFE ALWAYS AND TAKE CARE!😘 GOOD NIGHT FROM 🇵🇭
😊😉😘
Goodnight po
Agree 1,000,000 percent
Very well said!
I saw when we looked down on the lagoon, an extinct volcano, then you went down to the shore and confirmed it, but it may not be quite extinct. We have a few in NZ, the ring of fire.They do like to take your money at the port. Wow, I'm still smiling, courageous one, thank you Noraly, and take care. (I say take care, but just like the rest of my children and grandchildren, you do what you do.)
Noraly, you really bring out the good side in people! The guy on the horse, the lonely shop keeper that sold you water, the ticket lady selling the port passes, they all seemed so pleased to talk with you! Your cheerful demeanour shines through to them... and of course to your viewers here as well!!
Noraly is certainly an inspiration to many people as she travels around the world! Excellent observation and comment!
Ah - "Volcano Girl" - I blame you for my (very) late uptake of ADV motorcycling (on a Himalayan of course, after finding your videos of travelling in India and beyond). At 70, I only ride my Ducati occasionally but just love getting out on back roads on the Himalayan - with rhe occasional overnight camp. I will never be strong or fit enough anymore to travel like you, but the joy you bring by documenting your travels is immense. So many of us look forward each day to see what you will be up to next (that is, what new Volcano you will be visiting 😁). Also, the people you meet along the way restore our faith in humanity. Thank you for bringing this all to us.
Good luck in your travels in Central America and in your future trips and "Via con Dios".
I watch you and am 60 and have been successful and happy and yet, every time I see your videos, I think I need to be more like Noraly.
Thank you for showing us the world as it really is.
never too late dude I'm 64 and still doing it all over the Philippines in the middle of nowhere my a** hanging out everyday
Your upbeat videos are more appreciated than ever when the news is so dark in europe. Thanks for the reminder that all is not evil.
Saludos desde Venezuela,
que bonita expericia nuevamente viajar en moto en canoa o barco.
Lo blanco de tu comida era Yuca y no papas, con ensalda de yanahoria rayadas y repollo, muy sabroso.
Esperamos por el proximo vido, disfruta la estadia . Tschuss
Once again, Noraly, your use of music is second to none. That song you played during the boat trip was perfect!
What amazing travels are possible when we all use politeness, friendship, respect and treat with dignity.
It's great that you are on a motorcycle traveling in heavily motorcycled countries.
On the backroads all alone, and even lost, you don't stand out audibly because the sound
you're making is so common...I mean, even the wildlife don't flinch.
Then visually, you do stand out and that's great for recognition, and conversation starting.
Good combination my dear. -Cheers!
Everything fixed - that's great. A large worry off your mind. 5,000 new subscribers and you're at 1 Mill. That just shows how many of us really enjoy following your adventures. Yes, there is bad stuff happening elsewhere but your videos are my positive outlet. Thank You.
Hopefully, that 5,000 new subscribers will be on the chart soon! Noraly is certainly an inspiration to many people around the world!
History lesson, geography lesson , then heart in mouth time as you wonder if Alaska is going to end up in the drink! What`s not to love about an Itchy Boots video lol.
The people of Nicaragua seemed very friendly, and it's beautiful . I've never thought of it as a tourist destination, but maybe it should be. You were off to a great start there, look forward to the next vids to see more. Happy trails!
Los nicaragüense la mayoría nos caracterizamos por amable tranquilo solidarios carismático etc eres bienvenida y muy barato todo.
@@Xiomara10 "Most of us Nicaraguans are characterized by friendly, calm, supportive, charismatic, etc. You are welcome and everything is very cheap."
Thanks, glad to hear that!
@@Xiomara10 Pero lamentablemente ahora tienen un dictador nefasto, no creo que sea buena idea ir a ese país hasta que haya democracia.
Jesteś super i jesteś super motocyklistą...szerokiej drogi👍❤️😘
Back roads, boat rides and volcanoes on a motorcycle, where else can you get this, nowhere but here, also a history lesson, what a great channel, thanks Noraly.👍
1 million subs is coming soon! Well deserved Ma'am 🙏👏
Son amables mis hermanos Nicaragüenses saludos desde Honduras
my beautiful Nicaragua , you brought me beautiful memories… Ty ❤
Noraly what I love is that when you enter a country we learn a lot from its history and geology. Well done you fabulous!
Noraly thank you for Sharing your travels over land and water.
So interesting to see the imploded crater with its warm lake, Eduardo was a big help pointing you in the right direction, it was worth all the searching around the edge so that you could go down and test the water. Such interesting architecture and colors in Granada! That must have been a really rough ride across Lake Nicaragua to the island because the bits that you did film were scary! Thank you for another unique adventure Itchy Boots!!
Of course there are better road to Granada but she likes off roads!!
Hey Noraly Welcome to our country! And thank you to show to the world!
You ate Vigoron! 😂
Hola Noraly, tú simpatía y valentía hacen de tus viajes una experiencia maravillosa, desearte lo mejor para esta vida y que podamos disfrutar de tu franca sonrisa durante muchísimo tiempo, ánimo campeona!!! saludos desde el País Vasco (Basque country)
Hola Noralys, que lindo toda esa experiencia que andas viviendo, y por medio de tus viajes y videos estoy conociendo muchos lugares, eres muy valiente te admiro mucho. Esa es mi lindo Nicaragua, lo único que no vivo en ella, emigre muy joven, ya a mis 50 años estoy viendo tus videos, pero si visito mi gente y mi pais que me vio nacer, lo que estabas comiendo seguro era carne de cerdo frito cn yuca y ensalada de repollo, Dios te acompañe
Oh thank you Noraly! Such a wonderful little adventure today. My favourite parts are always your delightful interactions with the locals. You are such a gem and it is not surprising that you elicit smiles from everyone you meet. So grateful for you:)
Noraly. I have travelled the seven seas for years. Thought I was brave and courageous. You have put me to shame. Safe and sound travel for all your adventures. Mike. Mumbai. India
My wife and I have followed you from the very beginning and I just want to say a early million subscribers congratulations !
Hi Noraly, Nicaragua’s lake was very pleasant to see. Pleasant people wherever you go. Your Spanish is good👍👍Still enjoying your posts in 2023.
A geographic and historical lesson while you go was great. 👏👏👍👍
"There's absolutely no one here. I am the only one." Which is true for 90% of her rides. Alaska was 🎶🎶ROCKIN' 🎶🎶 on the boat. Noraly Versus the Volcano! Cool video thanks, Noraly! 😎
Well, Noraly did bring almost 1 million of her friends with her...
@@morecowbell20 …… 👍🏻. Yes! Almost a million friends…. Hopefully Noraly will break that million sub mark soon!!!!
@@WillysPerformanceCycleCtr One short year later and she's at 1.7 million subs!
Alaska did very well on the rough sea trip! As always You reached Your destiny and goal!!! Chapeau to You both🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉!!!!!
Sempre com você Noraly!!!
Gracias ! Such a simple word that opens up so many gates … we should use it more and more these days ! Add a smile and you are on. Vamos ! Gracias ! 🙂🙏
Thanks a ton, for taking us on all your amazing adventures have been watching each trip. You are indeed very grounded and very hard working that’s what makes you so special.
Stay Safe and Stay Happy always dear!!!! 🤗🥰🤗
Ordinary clarity just doesn't get any better than this, Noraly. Thanks.
Bienvenida a mi país Nicaragua🇳🇮. Espero q dios te proteja y q ningún policía te intenté estafar. ,🙏
Top Noraly! You are an example for all motorcyclist!!!!
What beautiful and rural scenery today that was very colorful. I see it was round up
Ride safe always,Noraly...Keep safe & more power...Cheers✌✌✌
Absolutely love how you take your time to discover every little thing you can about each country you visit.
Super job. and here's a message from your 70 year old self... "Thanks for not taking us so seriously and letting us enjoy our life while we were young"..
It takes me hours to watch your videos in Latin America since I have to write down your Spanish conversations and practice, since I am planning to travel to those places when it is safe! Love your attitude!
That boat ride....OMG!!!😮
I've been following your adventures for a long time. Its really nice to see your channel have grown with a large number of subscribers. Wish you 1M subscribers in advance. Always be a fresh air for all of us🙏
She should hit 1 million soon.
I miss Granada and La Laguna de Apoyo so much! It’s just how I remember. Thank you so much for sharing this!
It is remarkable how she's able to complete her journey on time everytime in spite of not being able to tell the way where to go in new environments(where the GPS is not helping). The way she heads to her location via the backroads with enthusiasm while knowing she may not reach where she wanted to is really what actual adventure looks like.
skills
It's remarkable, yes. Two things: (1) experience and preparation like browsing the web to see who has been there before, and (2) she uses a combination of a special GPS navigation from Garmin for motorcycles that has reasonably detailed "back-road" or off-road detail, paired with her smartphone. I'd say that the enthusiasm is her personality and, yes, she got into unexpected situations. Like getting stuck with her then bike's burnt clutch plates on a mud road in Iran. Being a woman is a big advantage as she is not perceived intuitively as a potential threat - something that men always have working against them.
!! Woow 🙃 hola Noraly saludos desde Mexico good videos
Making friends wherever you go. That's amazing.
Noraly loves her volcanoes!! I love when you show the architecture and history of all these towns that I know I'll never get to visit. Go into some of those churches and historic buildings - interesting. Loved the ride.
Huge respect to Norlay for your adventures Joureny ................ from India :)
Thank you Noraly. I enjoyed this episode immensely. Nicaragua is a very pretty country.
It's such a delight to see you travel to places that I have visited in the past. I was in Granada for a few months in 2010 and I still recognize many of the buildings (a benefit of historic architecture is that things don't seem to change much...). Thank you for the trip down memory lane!
Estupendos videos, la traducción a español genial, buen viaje hasta Alaska
hello noraly I hope you have a good trip through nicaragua the land of lakes and volcanoes😊👍welcome to nicaragua😊🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮
Noraly says it herself once again at 10 mins 22 secs: "Perseverance is rewarded!"
Hi Noraly, at 20:51 that staple snack is called vigoron. It's made with boiled or sauteed casava (yuca in Spanish) and pork rinds or sometimes pork wrapped in banana leaves. It is actually pretty good. P.S. --- ALMOST TO ONE MILLION !!! WHOOHOO
Counting down to 1 million subscribers! ☺️ 5k more! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Noraly, Great video as usual; all the fruits in the garden were spectacular. Waterfall was absolutely gorgeous, I’m hoping you paid Vanessa for helping you see all the rocks? Thanks for sharing, you truly are an ambassador, to me the human connection is so important as you globally explore.
Wow - what a bouncy, wavy boat ride to the island! So many fees to pay to get where you're going. Happy you have made it to the island with Alaska intact. Looking forward to the sights of the places you visit. Many thanks.
So many fees. True. However, since there's about 36 Cordobas to one US Dollar, when you see a 25 cordoba charge, think 70 cents. :-)
@@btankful and only $10 for the accommodations!
Son impuestos como en todos lados y super varato. Hasta la estadía. Saludos
Like there’s no ballast in the keel, maybe to save weight?
That's Lake Nicaragua. It's one of I believe 2 lakes in the world with fresh water sharks in it. It's quite a place to go to.
"What a ride"🤔 on the boat. Waiting for the next episode and geological history of volcanoes and Nigaragua.
Perseverance is rewarded. This has been the case for you since the start of the channel!
Eating something unknown and delicious, after some dusty and semi-lost riding, with a dirty grinning face. Such a true expression of why we do this kind of riding!
Cheers!
5:43/6:05 What a beautiful human being you are Noraly!!!! You deserve the best!!!!! Cheers from Argentina!!!!
I have been following you ever since you left Delhi{( India), really got hooked to your ever inspiring narration and adventures spirit
Whooo que locura pero bastante increíble Noreyla felicidades un abrazo preciosa cuidate mucho me encanta
Noraly, you are a Master Navigator! I realize you use GPS, but to follow the correct trails through the Outback is nothing short of miraculous! The imploded volcano is a new phenomenon to me. And, the city of Granada is very beautiful and seemed very peaceful as you traveled through it. You boat travels never get easier. The rough waters always make an amazing adventure. What have you done with all the documents that you continuously accumulate? You must have a tremendous library if you have somehow managed to retain all of the paperwork! Thanks for another installment of your adventure in the Americas! Ride safe Noraly!
Hello Noraly, looks like your strong Frisian sea blood held up on your lake ride to Valhalla almost- wow- glad you had an empty stomach! What an adventure- the clarity of your videos is excellent and your voice is so clear and effervescent. Viel Spass on forthcoming journey- I'm learning some Español from you-mucho Gracias. Be safe in these turbulent times and Peace to all people. Servus! Semper Fi- Petet
Love this video!!, you really go to best places in that incredible country, beautiful!!
You make a perfect travel guide, Noraly. You show the world and its people with good nature. You deserve a million followers and more.
All the best, Günter from Nürnberg/Germany
I got scared !
Yes I really liked your journey, glad everything went smoothly 🙏 😊. Andi 👋
Keep riding. You keep our spirits up
So enjoy your channel. It seems all the local folks you run into seem very kind. Safe travels.
Hi Noraly! I love your videos, you're an inspiration.
That was a very rough ride on the lake.
I am from Nicaragua and yes, Nicaraguans are very friendly, warm and welcoming.
The food you ate is called VIGORON: Yuca root, Chicharron, and cabbage salad served on a plantain leaf.
Enjoy and best wishes.
Wow you are quite the adventurer!! I admire your courage and spirit! So happy I came across your channel. You were traveling around southern Africa B4 the rally at that time. Thanks for bringing us along!!
Been waiting 8 months. My 300 Rally is finally here. Placed a deposit before IB bought one. Seeing actual real world use makes me happy.
Your Travels compared to others, You Truly Explore while others go the shortest distance.
That is why Noraly's trips are worth following. Others only show "themselves" preferably on paved roads...
"Another imploded volcano." You are adorable. Thanks for taking me along on your journey. Safe travels.
And she once again hits a first time for everything moment...riding on an airport runway. Was Alaska saying “come on planes! Wanna race?? Lol. What a wild boat ride. Hope you didn’t get seasick after just eating and the waves. Great adventure once again. Finding the lagoon, people free, is an added bonus! Great video Noraly!
There is at least one more place where you have to cross a runway. It's at La Linea, the border between Spain and Gibraltar.
@@kareem8533 When I lived near Heathrow airport in the UK back in the 1970s one of the main roads crossed a runway. They had barriers and traffic lights like with railway level crossings. Not sure if that's still the case.
As she goes through the streets you will notice tall walls with big doors. Many of these are homes with great courtyards in the middle And a single door to the outside world. The inside décor is often very beautiful and relaxing with a covered porch That goes around the open Courtyard
Hey Noraly, fab video thanks!!..great filming as ever 👌. I have been across Lake Nicaragua 🇳🇮 and it definitely gets choppy!. Just before I got on the boat there was a small earthquake just to spice things up...look forward to seeing more! Cheers, Steve 😊
Well Noraly, at least it's a bigger boat.... been watching you daily, helps me while being ill... love the adventure... will follow till Alaska wears off her wheels, and the itchy boots get comfortable.
What a great adventure you are taking us all on Noraly and Alaska. I love it when you get on the back roads the scenery is tremendous and the local people very friendly and helpful
I love all the people in Latin America. Nicaragua is my favorite place. All my love for Nicaraguans from Romania.
You are a tough cookie, Noraly! My head spin while I watched your boat ride…… I feel like I was there in the boat with you and Alaska! Stay safe
Thank you for sharing that beautiful country Nicaragua. Just to specify some historical data: the first church in Central America was the Ermita de la Concepción, which is in Salcaja, Quetzaltenango, Guatemala, erected in the year 1525. The one in Granada was erected in 1585. I wish you good and happy rides, Noraly. ..
hello from florida usa. just wanted to say I'm a motorcyclist, both dirt and street and i really enjoy your adventures and see u have become quite a well skilled biker! keep up your adventures and my hats off to u!!! great photography and narration!! by the way im sure u heard this before, but itchy boots here means u might have athletes foot....
Lol.
Yeah, she probably laughed the first 5,000 times she heard that! 🤣
Here in UK it means someone who has to keep moving and cant stay in one place very long . So perfect description for Noraly.
I'm from Florida and have never heard your definition of itchy boots in my six decades of life.
@@lizardas Not if your boots are itchy.. but if your foot is itchy I would worry haha.
NICARAGUA WHERE MY PARENTS ARE FROM. THANK YOU FOR PASSING BY. GOOD LUCK ON YOUR Journey
Zig zagging your way to Alaska. You are going to see and experience a lot. Thanks for taking us along. And thanks for giving me some motivation to get my bike finished. It's not going to do anything like what you put Alaska through but I am inspired to ride again. Been a few years. Great content as usual!
Hola Noraly. You had what is called "chancho con yuca". is pork marinated in achote (paprika-like) with yuca, and a salad/ensalada de repollo=coleslaw. very common and popular in Nicaragua. I do want to congratulate you for your channel and adventures. Love what you are doing. Thank you.
Noraly: Tus explicaciones sobre geología hacen aún más interesantes tus maravillosos vídeos.
Saludos desde Sevilla. España.
Gr8 video, itchy. Ride safe, god bless u.
I’m gonna watch it now! But I can assure you, I’m gonna like it.
Keep up the good work Noraly 👌🏼💪🏼👍🏼👊🏼🤩
Each video my girl ,it's astounding the knowledge that comes from the culture of each country and the benefits we can see from the architectural findings in the buildings and the surroundings magnificent I than you little missy for your videos my girl extremely up lifting and injoyable okay kiddo travel safe Wayde the Canadian
This episode has everything. A rider on horseback, the white rock road marker, a tour of an imploded crater lake, an open ocean like barge ride in a lake, and a very conical volcano island. Let's get Noraly to 1 million subscribers by E43!
