1300 Kilometers through the HEART of the CONGO 🇨🇬[S7-E81] 

Honestly I've learnt more about Africa from Itchy Boots (and Hardest Geezer) than from any news network. They show the reality of everyday life, the hardships but also the joys. How people are innately good and helpful. I would never have imagined being enthralled by footage of someone waiting in line at a gas station. So thank you for changing perceptions simply by allowing people to see day to day life across this magnificent continent.

I was describing your latest adventure to my grown boys. I told them how I love your tenacity, your courage, your bravery, your resourcefulness, your kindness, your smile, your playfulness, your positive attitude. You are a woman for all times! Continue inspiring us Noraly. You make our world a better place❤

I keep writing the same comment about Norali, but I'm just amazed about the fact that she's such a trooper. She goes in the middle of knowhere, buys whatever food she founds, and eats the damn thing without flinching. I'm African and live in Africa and even I don't do that! That woman is a warrior!

The Congo is so beautiful!

Hay Noraly just to give you a small but of Advice your bike was submerged in water you need to take your seat off and go pull every Fuse out of the fuse box and dry them as they will corrode very fast and may cause them to blow on you leaving you stranded . Make sure you dry the fuses and blow into the fusebox to get asmuch moisture out and your water in the tank don't let your tank get to low or it will suck all that water in and you will have a helish time trying to get it out of the combustion chamber . Get your tank down to quater way and pull the fuel lines and drain it or siphon it all out and put fresh fuel in from your fuel bag Stay safe and I have been waiting for this episode

Noraly- I have seen EVERY episode you have ever made- clear back to S1 Ep1. This episode is your all time best! You editing skills rival famous Hollywood film studios! You are an AMAZING woman with many abilities! We all love you!

Congo looked nice. No road blocks. Decent roads. Thanks for showing us.

Africa is an incredibly beautiful land. So much diversity in landscapes. I love this journey.

Never thought I"d see the day Noraly would appreciate 1300 km of tarmac. But ahhhh, the break from chaos was so well deserved. I think Alaska was ok with it too!

Hey Noraly. You can add isopropyl alcohol 70% or higher to your gas to remove water. Water mixes with the alcohol and allows it be burned during combustion. Love your channel. I can't ride anymore. Had a bad motorcycle accident. Broke my back and a few other limbs. Had to learn to walk again. But watching you ride brings me joy. I miss riding my bike. Be safe out there...😊

I know a doctor who is from Congo. He worked in the US as a physician's assistant and now has his own clinic in Belgium. He still owns a home in the US. Excellent doctor and a nice guy.

In nineteen century man Polish man, Kazimierz Nowak traveled in Africa on bicycle, 40 000 km. Crossed river, mountains, using all transportation what was there but most of was his bicycle. Find his story on google, another forgotten modest my country man. Bravo tor great lady Noraly. God bless and save you !😀🥰❤❤‍🩹

Congratulations Alaska & Noraly, 60,000kms together and still going strong! A remarkable duo, notwithstanding the real beatings you've both taken en route. This is the BEST travel vlog online!!

Such a wonderful adventure with you, the producer, director, camera person and narrator. I find nothing on traditional media that competes with what you give us over and over again.

This lady is a woman of steel. She is really guided by Angels and the Ancestors. Her optimism and positive attitude is so infectionsBRAVO DUTCH GIRL😊

Hello Noraly, It has been years since I started following your travels, and I must say, I'm absolutely captivated by your adventurous spirit and passion for exploration. Your content is invaluable to me; through your videos, I'm transported to places around the globe that I may never have the chance to visit myself. Your dedication and fearlessness are truly admirable, and I want to express my heartfelt admiration for your incredible work. Above all, your courage, passion, determination, politeness, and professionalism are truly remarkable. You are an inspiration to many, and I applaud you for your extraordinary achievements. Kudos to you!"/Gemunu

The best message we see on Noraly trips is how complete random strangers at times help Noraly to fix her problems along the journey. Shows that there are a lot of great compassionate humans out there. We are seeing on social media at times bad things but this video series always uplifts me to think there are super great people worldwide. Noraly provides all of us with hope and shows we must be kind to each other

I'm from the Republic of Congo, currently residing in Namibia. I eagerly awaited this episode to see my country through your travel adventure. Thank you, Noraly, for showcasing my country once again! Your determination to ride 1300 kilometers through the Republic of Congo despite challenges like unpredictable weather and motorcycle mishaps is truly commendable. Your resilience in the face of adversity reflects the adventurous spirit of our nation, where individuals like you embrace challenges with courage and perseverance. Despite setbacks, your journey symbolizes the indomitable nature of the Congolese people. Wishing you safe travels and smooth roads ahead as you continue to explore and discover new experiences along the way.

There are many people making these videos but Noraly is the best. I love her videos. She is very charismatic and my respects for how she drives the motorcycle. God keep her always.

I am impressed by your riding skills. You are riding a (relatively) underpowered bike, with a heavy cargo load, over rough, muddy roads. The fact that you keep it upright like you do is a testament to your skill.

For what you eat, sweat, worry and exercise with Alaska you should weigh 10 kilos. You are such a brave and interesting person. I admire and envy you. I am 79 years old grandmother, I live in a comfortable apartment in Santiago de Chile. I enjoy very much my travels with you!!! Thank you very much for taking me along with you!!❤❤❤❤

Your exploits show that problems are simply another element of adventure. They crop up here and there, and no mater how dire they seem at the moment, a solution is always in the waiting. Each solution builds confidence and pride, and increases the reward! Great lesson!

Congo is really beautiful country. They have good roads as well. Thank Noraly, for opening our eyes about our beautiful continent.

Bravest lady on You Tube. Wow you are amazing. Thanks for sharing your adventure.

Words that don't miss almost in every video "GOOD MORNING INTERNET " I am really really obsessed 😍 with her rides

Wonderful to see some smooth riding on asphalt roads after a long time with Alaska touching even 114 kmph. The gruel and the beating that Alaska went through over 60,000 km is a testimony to Honda quality. But above all it is the grit and determination of the iron lady that is simply unbelievable and a delight to watch!

Thank you Noraly.. you are so sweet and wise. Seeing all of this beautiful country is an education unattainable to me in any other way. I am an 85 year old mother of two lovely women, four grandchildren and four great grandchildren. I truly thank you for all the beautiful photography and people I meet through you. May God keep you safe in every way! Sandra Sherritt, Southern California!

I don't think any of us thank you often enough , for taking us with you on these expeditions . So Thank You Noraly . From an old biker.

As we have all said before, you are really traveling with Angels. There is always help along the way. Thanks Noraly... You are blessed😇🙏🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

Noraly, thanks. I live in the Southern most tip of Africa. Thanks for showing the World the real living, loving heart of Africa. The one without politics. I sometimes have tears in my eyes seeing the deep kindess of ordinary people. Thank you.

Noraly, I started googling places that you have traveled and learnt a lot more from you about South American and African geography than 6 years of middle and high school. Thank you and stay safe.

The Congo looks like heaven 😮

Poor Old Alaska.. She'll keep on battling just like you Norally.. We all love you 💚👋

The soundtrack you added while you were blasting through the rain at 70mph, is AMAZING !!!

Noraly thanks for showing us Congo. It's quite amazing to know that Congo have such beautiful roads in the jungle.

O God! Congo is heaven ❤!! Thanks for showing me

Happy 60,000 kilometers Alaska, thank you for taking Noraly safely around the world and in Africa, let's go for many more kilometers of adventures

So after hundreds of episodes I finally caught up with you. What started as an interest in riding offroad, soon became a ‘feel good’ travel log, and then slowly I started to realize that my childhood hero Pippi Langkous actually bought a motorbike and was fearlessly traveling the world. Every episode I was traveling with you and sometimes holding my breath because of all the challenges you endure, but knowing that it would end well because there were so many upcoming episodes still. Since this episode I worry a little bit more, because I need to wait for your next video. What you’re doing is much more than a travel log, it’s an amazing documentary about the state of the world, the people and nature in the early 21st century. I am sure it will be an inspiration for a lot of people, not just now but for many decades to come, just like Alan Lomax did about 80 years ago by recording (musical) life on tape. Thank you for all your hard work.

Super sad news of Kelvin Kiptum's death today; he was undoubtedly on his way to being one of the all-time great marathon runners, if not the best ever. He was by far the most likely to break a two-hour marathon, which is insane and something we might not see again for years. I will not be driving a Toyota premio / corolla etc. anytime soon.

Thank you Noraly for sharing this amazing continent Africa is. It is impossible not to fall in love with every country you visited there. The splendor of Mother Nature and the splendor of the African people's kindness, hospitality, resourcefulness, beauty, and strength. The parts of your videos I love the most are your interactions with the locals. What a pleasure meeting all of them through your lens. You have shown the very best from people and for that, I am so grateful!

If resilience was a human, she is a perfect definition, if bravery is a human, she is a perfect definition. I salute her courage

I would ensure you get the oil changed as fast as possible, water in the tank is fine as it clearly isnt enough to hydrolock the engine. But water can find its way into the oil through multiple spots, and that will cause a lot of long-term problems with your connecting rod bearings. Also check every fuse and electrical connection for stagnant water and clean corrosiion off of them with a metal brush.

Noraly not only are your videos top notch but you are the best story teller narrator ever. I have been watching some of my favorite older videos for the third time. Your hard work shows every minute of every video.

Congo Brazzaville is a hospitable country happy to see my country again through your channel ouesso-dolisie-pointe noire - cabinda (luanda) too bad you didn't go to Brazzaville congratulations and good continuation in Angola

In the entire Africa arc Alaska has taken quite a beating but she's as strong as her owner & nothing can stop her from conquering all of Africa ❤❤ all the best ❤

All South African team Noraly please let's gather here and show her support because she was once in our beautiful country South Africa. Myself I'm addicted with her channel since 2022 I'm learning alot from her. ❤❤❤❤❤

That's my Country ❤ Thank you for passing through and enjoy our hospitality

During the rain shower you stop at the gas station. visor open.....music stops (1 sec.)....visor closed again...music continues. That's some top editing! You make it exciting this way! Well done Noraly...well done!😀👍👊...love it.

1300 km is a long distance! Hope you got Alaska fixed and running well. Nice to be on tar for a relaxing ride with a nice breakfast to boot! Take care and ride safe Noraly!

Surprised Alaska is running after her swim. Those guys were amazing. People waiting for fuel seemed so patient. The rest of us could take a lesson. Another wonderful video 😊

The roads are incredible. Hats off Noraly, you never cease to amaze me.

We as Angolans will be really pleased to receive you here... 😍🤩👏👏👏

I never expected to see this much of the world from the back of your bike. Nor did I know that (almost) all people, everywhere, are good people. You've shown us that. Thanks, and safe rides :-)

I'm hooked on itchy adventures. I once rode across a railroad trestle . Abandoned. No rails . Just ties. No hand rails. I would not come back across. Had to take the long way back. About 40 feet above the river. It took all I had to do it. Once. I stopped on the other side and sat down awhile. You have guts lady. A real trooper. . You can be in my foxhole anytime. .. What an attitude. IT makes my day.

The roads in the middle of the country looked liked that Windows desktop wallpaper. Beautiful.

Thank You Noraly. Carry on Your Journeys.

We have to commend Noraly on managing a tough season on the road and handling the details in the background-RU-vid thumbnail updates to her seasons, website updates, new merch, and much much more. Your dedication and hard work don't go unnoticed, and they're truly appreciated! ❤️ Keep shining, Noraly! 🌟

You always are so kind tipping the people who help you great heart!!!

such a beautiful Landscape Congo ,Thank you Noraly

I love your video. You, alaska, smile and nothing else ❤

Alaska what a bike, she gets the bragging rights , she is the Queen in the Itchy Boots Bike universe, Basanti, Dhanno and savannah must be jealous of her, she has been through snow, Desert, Rain forest , travelled the Longest distance, survived a lot of challenging situations what an Awesome bike , enjoy your journey Noraly.

You are the brave lady. Watching your videos regularly.😅

May you stay safe on your amazing travels and adventures Noraly! 🙏🏼 🙏🏼🙏🏼

As an African, since I didn't get the chance to travel through Africa, I am enjoying exploring the continent through your adventures. Big like.

congrats Alaska surpassed 60,000 km & she is still on the road with water in her tank. amazing both of you👍👍👍💕

Even with all your problems from Alaska's falling into the the water and losing your table directions, you press onward through the Congo. May god or your guardian angle stay with you. 💙

Am Namibian and i am loving you all the way. You are brave and you have a beautiful heart. Me and my Family are with you on this journey. We love you.

Grateful to You Noraly for this spectacular journey throughout the Paradis of Africa

I'm always checking for an update if you have posted something yet.Thats how I have become so addicted to your adventures.When you travel, we're traveling with you Noraly..Keep it going.I salute you

What a beautiful country and nice roads. I never knew Congo was like this.

Amazing to see such good roads empty like that. Also very green and pretty. Thanks Noraly.

Best traveler Noroly. Thank you to show us Republic of the Congo.

So happy to see my country though the eyes of an adventurer. And for once we don’t only see the bad side of Congo 🇨🇬 but also the wild beauty! Thanks for this 🙏🏾

Good afternoon Noraly, from Derbyshire England 😍

I enjoy the really good roads. It makes it possible to look about. After riding a bike for many years I find I am watching the dirt muddy roads and not the surrounding area. Please give us more of the paved roads . I am 83 and did a lot of riding when I was younger. Paved roads give us time to look at the surroundings of the country you are in. I do so enjoy your rides. Please keep Safe.

I love your editing skills Noralie. The sound track selection, the timing of audio and video cuts, absolutely great work! Safe travels!

Its fascinating to see a part of Africa that almost no westen adventurers get to; but Noraly allows us to see the fascinating contrasts this continent offers.

Watching the adventures of Itchy Boots is one of the highlights of the week. Never miss an episode. Thank you so much!

I am amazed at how modern and developed Congo seems compared to Central Africa Republic and Cameroon. It’s was like crossing the border, and entering a different world. And, I love the beautiful landscapes in Congo. I look at it and I think, "Yeah, I could live there and love it!" I’m amused by Noraly’s attitude about the nice paved roads. It’s as if she misses all the muck and potholes. She was almost apologetic about it. Hey Noraly, we like nice roads too! 😃

Thank you for showing the realness of my beautiful home country 🇨🇬💪🏾 much love Noraly

Congo was so beautiful. The savanna was something else. Thanks Noraly for taking us along as you discover Africa.

Noraly my doctor just advised me that my heart condition is getting worse from smoking and watching your adventures. He said I have to give up one or the other and after he viewed some of your videos he sugested smoking would be safer of the 2. So I am just going to take my chances with you. PRAY FOR ME/US. We all get burned by something.😅

Thanks Noraly, you have really given me an enlightened view of Africa's landscapes

Very surreal to see the wide open nicely paved roads and no one on them. I guess it makes sense if petrol is so difficult to come by.

Much love to everyone and their families from Cedar City Utah USA! Thanks for another awesome adventure Noraly🥀🤠✌️

I can see Norally's countenance beginning to light up as she exits the jungle of West and Central Africa and breaks into open country and good roads in Congo Brazaville. Nice to see you in Point Noire as you begin your descent into Southern Africa.

Norali Norali always brings us new adventures full of longing and fun. We have become addicted to your channel, may God protect you

Been away for a few months and now back watching. So glad to see how the drive is going. Keep staying the course.

The clouds were so beautiful, what amazing skies, if you don't like the weather just wait a little, it will change.

I got hook with your channel for several months now, i feel like I'm traveling with you and enjoy the scenery. It's a big WOW for a lady riding Bikes alone in countries of Africa.

Thanks much 👍 for giving me the opportunity to see the world through your lens and greetings from Trinidad and Tobago . 👏👏👏👏☮

Well Well Well as the saying goes Lady Africa, a wonderful Valentine's journey to you. I like the cloud formations while riding with you virtually. Kudos as always. No hills or valley can stop us. Even rivers will split into halves when we get there. Love your full commitment🥰, shine lady shine.

The world truly appreciates the wonderful Noraly! Her spirit elevates.

Every time I see a Noraly video I want to go out on my bike and ride to nowhere. So inspiring.

I’m glad you enjoyed time crossing my country the Central African Republic 🇨🇫 and its natural sceneries.

It must have been such a relief to travel on that fantastic looking highway until the rain. I really look forward to your posts and will watch until you don't post anymore hopefully that will not be for a long time. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.

You are great example now just to female children but male as well, you are great, gentle, strong, optimistic,knowledgeable and fearless. Keep posting and we will keep watching. ❤

Looking forward to see you get to East Africa and specifically Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪

Love the editing on the first big push through Congo. Epic scenery. We are all wishing you a safe journey.

We all live for adventures like in your videos! It's what makes life worth living for 😍 Blessings from Singapore.
