I just can’t imagine being a truck driver and having to wait in a line that long. That’s craziness. Safe travels. 1million subs is approaching quickly
Try going to Zimbabwe from South Africa via Beit Bridge possibly even worse!
@@tristanmaclennan2989 Or Dover, 3-4 days wait isn't unusual after Brexit.
What chance do we have against,Global warming?
Was a truck driver for 30 years At least 10 percent of that was waiting . At the docks , At the airports , at the company you work and at the customers
@@marksimpson5218 we got bigger problems.
Your host recording your departure was adorable. When Wonder Woman stays at your place you have to record it or it didn’t happen.
Wonder Woman? Or should that be Wander Woman, since Noraly has been wandering around the world for years now? Though her innocent sense of wonder at all she finds means she deserves the title of Wonder Woman as well!
BIENVENIDA A NICARAGUA ME INMAGINO QUE TE HAN DICHO QUE SOMOS EL LOBO DE CAOERUCITA. PERO LOS NIC SOMO GENEROSOS, AMABKES SERVICIALES Y CARISMÁTICO Y PRINCIPALMENTE SOLIDARIO. SALUDOS VIVO EN EL CENTRO DE NIC. SI QUIERES DÍAS DE DESCANSO. SALUDES HIJA Y QUE DIOS TE DE SALUD Y BENDICIONES PARA QUE LOGRES TU PROYECTO.
The grandkids will probably watch on video far in the future!
God I'm impressed at how you handle all the bureaucracy involved in all these border crossings. Much respect.
Jaja, como llegué a ver las aventuras de esta chica? no sé? Somos de Costa Rica y mi esposo y yo estamos pensando seriamente hacer este tipo de viajes es maravillosa ella tiene un gran espíritu! La vida es tan corta hay que hacer lo que nace del corazón en medio de un mundo tan convulso, este tipo de videos devuelven la alegría.
@motoboo: that being said, it only makes sense to spend a few days in a country rather than rushing through.
My that was an insane border crossing. I would lose my mind going through that and it would take me all day with confusion.
I can’t help but wonder how poor Noraly deals with bathroom needs on long days on the road. So many times a “detour” into the bushes could be a life altering experience with wild nature I bet.
What Noraly does here is not something that everyone could do …….. at least not as efficiently and as good spirited as Noraly does.
Lady you are one exceptional human being.
You are surely creating your legacy every minute you walk on this planet.
Yes, that is an awkward question I also have. Really something I wonder when I read any adventure book, not just the videos on TH-cam :)
Your efficiency as an international traveler is nothing short of brilliant and positively awe inspiring. Another great video. Thank you Noraly.
That line of trucks at the border was crazy
I agree! Your patience is unparalleled! I am happy that you go through each border in some detail, it's helpful for future travel understanding in general
@@stuartoates424 it must take days and days to get in from the end of the line.
Yeah but this video is boring
@@dialogarconlahistoria8229 Then don't watch. This is what you encounter when traveling.
Imagine trying to examine every stamp on the Itchy Boots passport!!
Not sure but it could be possible they were trying to find out if she might be a drug smuggler if not a type of spy. 😃😃
It’s worse if you are a truck driver. Did you see the que. My God ohh to be a truck driver in central and South America. 😡😡😡👍
I really admire your patience and sunny disposition. These border crossings seem so frustrating to me. I wouldn’t be in such a good mood. You are a unique person. Ride on Noraly.
As a citizen of the United States I think I will cry when you cross the US border. I can’t explain this other than I guess just unbridled excitement for you as you continue your journey.
How fantastic, have been waiting for you to brighten up my Friday. Another dose of how reality can and should be. Thank You!
You are amazing! Those confusing border crossings have got to be nerve wracking. So very happy you were able to get the laptop repaired! And yes....it is now understandable why there are supply chain issues! Happy trails Noraly!
That was one hell of a truck cue ehh Noraly. Poor truck drivers. Thanks for the post, which I’m watching in 2023.👍👍
Brilliant Noraly, that you speak Spanish. It’s so helpful. 👍👍
Imagine living along that road with trucks lined up like that daily.
I kept wondering what they are carrying.
@@igorsalesca everything.
Imagine being a car driver and not knowing you can pass the trucks :D
I'll never complain about traffic jams in the UK after watching this! From the beginning in India to this series, what an education for us all to see all that is wonderful in the world and the best of humanity. Thankyou Noraly.
Can't blame Brexit for that one..!
A bit like the M20, when the French get arsy.
If you don't have it already, get your self a bike and go out of the town, you will see no traffic jams, or no traffic at all :) Anyway, on the bike - traffic? what traffic :)
@@tomaskrashevsky818 Got a Harley so avoid towns like the plague..!
Noraly, I think you just solved the global supply chain issue, everything is stuck on the border of Costa Rica, and Nicaragua! Another fine video, as usual. Your joy in the process of the journey is infectious. Can't wait to get my bike out of its hibernation, and hit the road.
You are simply amazing. My husband and I call it "Itchy Boots Day" when we watch your latest video together and talk about what you're going through, could we do that, do we want to do that? We both admire your style, enthusiasm, and tenacity. :)
Your video brought back memories of my 2 border crossings at Penas Blancas almost 20 years ago. At that time I think it took 4 hours to cross and get all the paper work done. I really understand how confusing you found the crossing and it looked even worse now than when I crossed the Nicaragua/Costa Rica border. And I'm glad you went back south after going to Managua, because Ometepe island and Lake Nicaragua is a real gem.
OMG,,THE HASSLE YOU HAVE TO THROUGH YOU MUST HAVE THE PATIENCE OF AN ANGEL,,WELL DONE ❤️❤️❤️
And yet another country! I just love the mix of motorbike riding, exploring new countries, history and meeting different kind of people! You're the only one I follow on TH-cam, because you're the best! Keep on riding and keep us being part of your journey! Safe ride from Switzerland
Dem kann ich nur absolut zustimmen! Kaum in Worten zu beschreiben, was diese unglaublich sympathische junge Frau mit spielerischer Leichtigkeit alles bewältigt. Ob haarsträubende Flussdurchquerungen oder wieder so ein Kampf mit der Bürokratie, alles wirkt als wäre es nichts 👏
I truly cannot express the complete amount of information I learn from your videos. As a 52 yo, and a lover of culture and history, you have shown me and taught me more than I ever learned in school. God bless and stay safe.
Through all the trials and tribulations of failed or damaged equipment, how you stay so up beat is beyond this impatient old guy. Now on to Nicaragua with pleasant and happy riding! GO GET 'EM Noraly 😁👍👍👍
Robert, I can so relate to your comment.
Also an aged motorcyclist and desperately trying to get to the right headspace to cope with things even to 10% of Noraly's way of dealing with this sort of stuff.
Thanks Noraly 🙂
@@G100666 As a young motorcyclist, I feel the same too. I would probably lose it, but Noraly deals with all those complications, delays and uncertainties like a champ
At this time in particular well intentioned people around the world need all the positive reminders we can get, not only of our connections to one another and of the inherent wish to support our families and each other, but also of the hoped for effect of world wide communication, exposing both the good and the terrible. Itchy Boots goes a long way in uniting viewers worldwide, emphasizing the unique cultures of the various regions while reminding us of our commonality. We have to strive to preserve the progress we thought the world had made in putting wars of conquest behind us and positive channels like yours, widely available, are just what we need.
Noraly should become ambassador of the UN?
Ofcours after she finished her world trips.
Very well said.
Thank you.
Well said!!! 🌍
I am an Indian. I am a retired person. I have watched your most of all videos. I think it's very hard to complete the journey only a single lady by a bike. Thank you I enjoyed very much seeing your videos and motorcycle driving. Thank you again n again, be safe n healthy. India. Calcutta
কেমন আছেন দাদা?
The road you were on is the Pan-American Highway which goes all the way from Alaska to Patagonia (with a small interruption in Columbia). The complete transport of goods throughout the Americas is done via this road (if not by ship or plane). Now as you have mentioned, border crossings are not as easy as in Europe over here and have in mind that there are countries which are in conflict with others or having civil conflicts going on. That's the reason for the eternal line ups of trucks on the borders.
Its a shame because thats a lot of unproductive carbon being pumped into the atmosphere while they sit there waiting.
@@marcochavanne I don't know how they would do that with an engine that is not running.
@@GAVACHO5150 what does that have to do with explaining the line up of trucks on the border? Also the Panamerican Highway on this border is only one lane each direction. Passing the line of trucks is quite dangerous as well.
@@GAVACHO5150 oh sorry, I had it small and didn't see, that you were referring to the other comment. No, most of them have it turned off. They do it every once in a while and they sometimes have to in order to advance in the line. Refrigerated trucks have priority anyways. They are not waiting in line. Most of the trucks don't even have AC. Normal local houses don't have AC either btw. We are very much used to the heat. My house doesn't have AC, neither does my car.
@@GAVACHO5150 well, you know, we are tiny in compare to the US. We just have about 5 million people. They are working on expanding the Panamerican Highway but it's quite a task. It's all jungle down here. Well not all but most of it. On top volcanos, earthquakes and then there are the problems with our neighbor country Nicaragua. Our last administrations were not too friendly with Ortega. Let's see if the current one is at least able to talk. Talking is always better than hostile silence.
The moment u got the laptop fixed and that happiness
Not too shabby indeed!!! Welcome to Nicaragua after all the immigration red tape. That beautiful broad smile announcing that your laptop was repaired is priceless. Enjoy the ride!!
What a brutal border crossing!
Those truckers must have to wait for days or weeks.
So glad to see that you got your computer repaired.
Rock On
Poor ruck drivers. I feel sorry for them.
Awesome Awesome Awesome, each Itchy boots video is just like a meal full of taste 😋, Thank you for sharing,!
The Interminable truck queue reminds me of Zimbabwe - RSA border which Noraly crossed on Savannah. Really have to admire the truckers and what they go through. Another great episode.
Gotta say, Europe got me spoiled. Driving through borders without the need to even slow down. Just passing signs welcoming in different countries
Ive never ridden a motorcycle outside of Canada and the USA, which is very simple, so I am always impressed at your patience. Always impressive.
I am a truck driver and I will never complain about waiting in line again after seeing this video!
so. how long it. take border crossing that big truck s🚚 there
If we ever decide to visit Nicaragua through this border crossing we'll all watch this video first so we all know what to do.... :D
You have travelled to so many places, through so many countries. Everywhere you go, you inspire other women to take up riding too. That is just awesome. You are a shining example and testament to that riding is not a hobby/passion only for men, women can do it too.
Thank you Noraly. Can't stop thinking how fortunate your command of the local language is. A blessing to be sure. Ride safe.
Can you you imagine being a driver and at the end of the truck line entering Nicaragua? There must have been literally 100’s of trucks in line! Your endurance to exit and enter countries is nothing short of admirable. Another great video and you found a nice meal and such a great welcoming once you arrived in Nicaragua! Thanks for another great installment of your daily travels through the Americas! Ride safe Noraly!
Crossing that border is insane. I think all the viewers enjoy whatever content you have.
Noraly is amazing, sooooo patient and stays calm when most of us would explode with frustration. I thought we were bad for border controls here in Africa but Central America has us beat hands down, it must take a week to get through customs for truck drivers.
I’ve lost the will to live just watching this. Absolute madness lol
Oh boy - those border crossings! They look awful confusing.
Good to see you've been able to sort the computer and camera issues out Noraly, but -- ah, life on the road...always something to test one's patience!
Looking forward to more of your adventures in Nicaragua!
Too bad you didn’t spend more time in Costa Rica, you missed seeing some of the best of what the country has to offer. Wishing you safe travels the rest of the way.
Yep, i was thinking the same.
Costa Rica is the best country of them all in this part of America. I hope one day I can visit the beautiful nature and wildlife you have.
You have nerves of steel. That immigration stuff would drive me crazy
Your film footage is simply awesome. The drone footage while riding is nuts.
As a non tech guy hard to comprehend.
Thanks for the great work
Spare a thought for the truckers having to go through this constantly.
Thanks for showing us this. Supply chain chaos .😁
I’m a truck driver & never seen so many trucks trying to get in. Crazy system. They must have to wait for weeks to cross. Great video x
Dover in about 5 months?
It's not uncommon. There's a reason why it is so much cheaper to ship via sea or rail, And why deep water ports are one of the key markers for economic success In a nation.
I have a brother that is a truck driver, he hauls merchandise in Central América,he tells me that If those sistems were better manage the time to deliver the goods would be fast,but because it is so corrupted it takes a lot of days,time is money,everybody loses,they keep it like that because of corruption.
a Costa Rican over here. Nicaragua has a tradewar with Costa Rica at the moment, and one way they cripple us is intentionally doing as difficult as possible to us to truck throught their country thats why between el Salvador and Costa Rica we are putting in place a ferry to carry all those 18 wheellers bypassing Nicaragua.
@@krlosbago1 Thank you for this info, that explains it!
I laughed as you said "oh I nearly forgot, welcome to Nicaragua". Before you did I said it out loud. You always get so excited entering new countries, it's infectious following you and seeing and hearing this. Happy travels Nicaragua. Can't wait to see Noraly.
First time watching your video. What got my attention was your visit to Nicaragua because that my native country. Thanks for visiting and your personality is great. I’m gonna be watching all your videos to catch up. 👍
The number of trucks is amazing. And then the paperwork (and finding the offices). It would sour my day but Noraly keeps smiling!
Noraly. Beautiful, exciting video! Loved your exuberance when you yelled out “Welcome to Nicaragua”. Take care and stay safe!!!!
You are incredible Noraly! Manoeuvring yourself around those trucks! Just imagine it would take you ages to cross the border if you were in line with those
Love the way you cover breakfast & lunch, immigration process and the rest. It is alllllllll so interesting. Love the little stuff you show. That makes it so much more enjoyable and entertaining. Lets go!!!!!!
Hello Noraly, the most beloved adventurer in motorcycling, how are you? Noraly I've been following your videos for a long time, and a huge desire grows inside me to one day be able to take a trip to South America. But every time you cross a border, my will diminishes, it's a lot of unnecessary bureaucracy and a lot of annoyance. . It is true that you go through all this with an enviable good mood, you laugh at moments of difficulty, you laugh at the crazy things you do on the trails, and I love it all. Thanks again for the video, amazing, and take care.
These border crossings amaze me. Really like watching them and the differences between them all, and you’ve done a LOT. 😅 These intercontinental truck drivers must be sitting there for days to get through.
As always, your videos are just the best and I love how up close and personal they are with you.
Well said and totally agree 💯👍🏽
For some reason the Russians didn't have all that hassle getting into Ukraine. Imagine if they did :- "Have you got import papers for that tank? And what is the reason for your visit? Enjoy your stay!"
Talk about a “Rube Goldberg” convoluted border crossing! Now on to the good stuff!!👍
Hahaha that’s my KLR. I brought 2 and a XR650L. Let me know next time you’re in Nicaragua. I live in Esteli which is about 2 1/2 hours North of Managua. My boys were watching your video and saw my cigar stickers on my panniers. Safe travels 🤘😝🤘
I read many times of itchy boots comments about Ukraine in the last episode. I prayed, dear God, please grant her what she wishes.
You are so dear to us all.
I wIsh we have many more noralys to make this world a better place
Smooth eh?? Thank God for EU 😂 Like everyone else I admire your bordercrossings, your patience and always with a laugh 🤗
What a confusing bunch of nonsense. You are so patient with all this. I guess there's nothing else you can do, but I would be extremely frustrated. As I've said before, your graciousness is inspirational.
That border crossing was like... I think that could be a video game 😂😂😂
Hey! I am from Russia, I ride a motorcycle myself and follow your work with great pleasure! Hope you keep adding Russian subtitles to your videos! And now a lot of people stop doing it. Thank you for the cool content and emotions that you give while we are waiting for the start of the motoseason)
My, what a line of trucks going into Nicaragua - it must take days for them to get through. Crossing the border was quite an exercise in patience - immigration, import permit, insurance, and sim card activated. All of your experience in crossing borders has really helped. I'm really glad for you that they were able to repair your laptop. Hope you find some nice accommodations and food. I look forward to seeing your travels back south of Managua. Enjoy the journey and stay safe!
It's like that in England too thanks to Brexit.
That line of trucks was nuts! Entering those countries is such a mess!
The trucks lined up, looks worse than operation stack in Kent!
A pass for this, permission for that, it appears we live in an open prison.
Patience of a saint!
You are simply awe inspiring..Your efficiency and never die spirit is so admirable...Go Go girl!..Praying for your safety always
Those line of trucks going in to Nicaragua is insane
Thanks for showing us the details of how the border crossing went. Happy that your computer issues have been resolved. By the way, good choice for lunch. When you first passed the place, I said hey Noraly stop for something to eat. The grilling looked so inviting. So I guess you heard me.
Wow, enjoyed watching the challenges of border crossing. You are very patient. And then the challenges of modern day computing and blogging. What can we say, overcoming obstacles was this episode. Great job, enjoyed it. Ride on!
It seems like the Border crossings are confusing, but for Itchy Boots and Alaska it is just but another day of Adventure.
Glad that you managed to get another Gopro and have the Laptop fixed.
More to explore, lets go.
To me they almost seem intentionally designed to be confusing and time consuming. Like they want you to be really sure you want to leave that country and come into this one.
Спасибо Норали, твои видео , это глоток свежего воздуха в это трудное время.
Semi-trailers! Admire your patience and determination navigating yourself through that bureaucracy! Happy adventuring! 🏍😊🌴
The blue building , just remember that , a piece of cake, imagine if is raining or it is a holiday.
Let's hope that you will have smooth sailing from now on with regard to the technology. No more problems! Great that you have made it to Nicaragua and can begin exploring the country. Sad about no drones but that's okay. All your videos are great!
The long line of trucks reminded me the trucks waiting to cross into Zimbabwe from South Africa, when you crossed in the other direction, further back in our long trip together. I loved the joy in your face when your lap top could get fixed.
Wow, so many steps for crossing this border. I don't know how you do it. It all seemed like a maze. I don't know if I had the same patience as you. If it awas only this border... but you cross them all the time. You amaze me. I'm glad you managed to also get your laptop fixed. You're a brave young lady, to do this all alone. Happy international women's day to you. Safe travels. Enjoy your trips through many beautiful parts of South America.
What a line up of trucks 😯😎🏍💨💨💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦
Nicaragua is a lovely country! Decades ago, when I used to go there regularly, it's government was Sandanista dominated and it was very convoluted when you went through Immigration. Food was always good though. Managua has really modernized nicely! Glad you got your laptop fixed!
Now it's a dictatorship.
Joy on face says it all, keep smiling and looking forward to see amazing journey, and thanking you for making us your companions in your amazing journey
Thanks Noraly, with love from India
Omg ,what a queue of trucks about 5kilometers long.
Big up Noraly, you're a champion
Hi Noraly. You have opened my eyes about people and places in far away lands. I have never gone abroad but you have made me feel like I have been to every place you have been to. Thank you for inspiring a lot of people.
What beautiful truck scenery. They never make things easy going from one country to the next one. Glad to also hear you got your laptop fixed easily so now you can start many more good adventures. Let’s Go and be safe.
Welcome to Nicaragua!!! Noraly, you are approaching the country where I was born, El Salvador, and even though I love to see the splendor of Nicaragua, I wait with great anticipation for you to enter El Salvador. It will definitely be an emotional moment seeing you there since I have not been back for many many years.
I’ll never complain about waiting at customs again after seeing that convoy or trucks waiting at the border.
Your patience in getting through immigration is amazing. Enjoying watching your travels!
No drone footage! I’m crushed! Actually I’m sure you will make do and we will get to see this country through your excellent skills as a videographer. What a line of trucks! Thanks for another fine episode
Well done Noraly !👍👏Happy to see you again with "new equipment" to show us all another strange border crossings and your further ride into new adventures. Stay safe and see you.
You will get at least 1 million views and the appreciation of many if you do a video of how you recovered your GoPro SD Card....I literally am having the same battle right now. Thanks for your awesome channel. Continued safe travels Noraly.
Noraly, I am lost for words - your are the most patient, gutsy, brave and determined person I have met in my life - please stay safe and continue to make the most of your life. Cheers from Oz.
7K subs away from 1 MILLION!!!!!! Advanced congrats because you will get there on this Alaska journey :D
What an unbelievably long line of trucks waiting to cross the border and I really hope they don't have to jump through hoops like you did to get your paperwork done. Even your border crossing videos are interesting and entertaining. After your Darien gap crossing and the crocodile river crossing etc... a border crossing is just another day in the life of Noraly. 😀 Safe riding
Seas bienvenida a Nicaragua, mi estimada y apreciada señorita Noroly, es un placer y un privilegio tenerla a qui en Nicaragua. Bendiciones y exito. Eres maravillosa y muy especial. Saludos y que difrutes mi apreciadisima joven Noroly.
All steps in your journey that you share are cherished by your fans ❤️
Hi Noraly, so glad you have overcome your technical issues - it would have been a shame if this had been an annoyance any longer. Well done.
On the side - these trucks waiting in line... how many DAYS do they need to cross that border? Wouldn't want to be one of them...
Weeks ?
A lot of respect for truck drivers!
It can take the truck drivers a couple of days to cross from one Central American Country to another!
At the border I got dizzy with so much "walking" from here to there! And although nothing can be done about it as a visitor in transit, you have a lot of patience Noraly. I salute you!
Thanks Noraly you’re awesome 👍🏻😎🏍️
Makes one wonder how these countries operate at all... all those trucks just sitting there! Going from blue building to blue building would do my head in... your patience is astounding :-)
Holy crap N, that line up of 18 Wheelers into Nicaragua was INSANE. I thought you would run out of gas just getting into the country. 😆
Hey N, is the Gopro Hero not under warranty? You may wish to contact them.
That was a painful entry in Nicaragua. Boy, I'm glad you speak Spanish. Interesting how the money changer popped out of the woodwork.
Wow, that chicken looked good.
Looking forward to going with you in Nicaragua.
Take care and ride safe. 🤟🏼🖖🏼
Didn´t know Mr. Spock was a biker 😁😁😁
Being under warranty won't get her a new GoPro the next day. It'll get her one in 3 months after it gets shipped to them, fixed/replaced and shipped back. Honestly I'm surprised she doesn't travel with a spare, they don't take up any real room.
Freedom convoy !for sure
@@PeterSmith-or3pq Yeah, they need one for sure!
@@PeterSmith-or3pq Give it a rest. Not everybody whines about public safety measures.
Thank you for uploading inspite of difficulties. Hope everything has been sorted out, because I have totally addicted to your videos by now. Only few channels on TH-cam I follow regularly. You are among the top 3 and I literally wait for your videos.
PS.Glad it all worked out in the end. 🙏
Estuvistes en Liberia en mi ciudad, eres tan hermosa y valiente, soy nuevo en tu canal y me gustan tus aventuras, saludos desde Liberia Costa Rica, un fuerte abrazo y cuídate mucho...!!!
Another country.......Another adventure...............Be Safe Noraly!! Your friends in The Lemon Tree Coffee Shop
The border crossings all seem to be different. I feel for the truckers that are trying to do their job and get across the borders with their loads. Sharing what you can of this process gives a lot of perspective of what all they go through while you are making your crossing. Good job computer repair service tech that fixed your laptop.
Je bent echt te bewonderen hoe rustig je blijft bij elke grensovergang. Dat siert je wel!
I read your post.All Yes All Yes we all pray for.When we who are in the book of life meet at the Great White Thrown are journey will be worth it.
It always amazes me how these countries have multiple places you have to go to to clear or get in/out.
we can hardly go a day without a video, if it was weeks that would have been devastating 😎
