BACK ON THE ROAD [S5 - Eps. 22] 

Thank you all for watching the premiere with me and the live chat!! Pretty cool way to come back to RU-vid :D I've missed you. From next week, I'll be back with 3 episodes per week again, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. LET'S GO!!!

As a South African I'm happy scrolling through the comments and seeing people from all over the world discover our beautiful country through your lens. We are really blessed to have such a diverse country and great wildlife to top it off.

I'm so glad that you are back! I am a teacher in the USA and I currently have a student in class from Johannesburg South Africa. I have been having great discussions with him about your adventures and where you have been. Please keep it up.

It always takes me about an hour to watch Noraly's vlogs, with Google maps and Wikipedia open on the other screen. Love to experience places I probably won't be able to visit. Thanks Noraly, my favorite YT channel - ItchyBoots

Wow! You sure packed three episodes worth into this one! Epic drone shots, local cuisine, AND geology? Welcome back indeed.

Norally: NICE to have you back. You REALLY opened our eyes to the beauty of South Africa. South Africa is the coolest place ever. Please don’t leave us again and yes LET'S GO 😍💕and stay safe.

I had never thought of traveling to South Africa... until you arrived there and documented so many beautiful places. Now it seems worth the flight.

What a pleasant demeanour the guy showing you around the caves has, so softly spoken and clearly informative. Good to see an Itchy Boots Exclusive !

I was born in Belgium, joined the merchant marine and lived and travel about everywhere on the planet but if there is one place that makes me homesick now it is definitely South Africa. I had the pleasure to live there almost ten years and I can say that they were the best years of my live. Enjoy your stay there.

Norally: You REALLY opened our eyes to the beauty of South Africa...unbelieveable!

Beautiful footage of Montague Pass, almost my backyard. I am off Seven Passes Road. The Outeniqua tar pass was in the background. I was up there today on one of my classic road bikes. Enjoy “my” area of SA that I am lucky to call home. I do hope you plan on Swartburg Pass and the road to Die Hell. The Elands Pass at the end of that ride is iconic. An easy day trip from Oudtshoorn. Cango was spectacular. I am fortunate to have done the adventure tour there in the past. You are truly a wonderful tourism ambassador for our country!

The cave expert tour guy seems passionate. The right person for the job.

Noraly, I like so many others, am so glad to have you back after your much needed break in Plett, where I had many epic holidays. Wow, 23 hours in and +20 K comments and 117 K views - epic. I'm ex Cape Town, now in Scotland for the past 10 years and your trip is bringing back so many fond memories for me, of all these areas you are covering. Like many tourists, you are seeing more of South Africa than 90% of the locals ever will in their life times - sad really, when you consider what beauty is right on their doorsteps. Beautiful camera work and such a relaxed and warm delivery, thank you. Safe journeys and good health.

Through your eyes and journey I cannot help but fall in love with South Africa absolutely beautiful and amazing country you have uncovered for it’s unknown attractions

I had a lot of respect for noraly before. Then she puts the camera away for two weeks to spend time with a friend. Now I have total respect for noraly. take care of yourself and stay safe 🍻🌲 💪🏻👩🏼🏍

The guide explains all about the caves. The qualified Geologist politely keeps quiet and lets him continue so her viewers get the tour. 😊

That drone footage was just spectacular. What a beautiful country.

Wow, just mint, the caves , the scenery, how can you beat that? You should get some kind of award from South Africa government for portraying the country and people to the rest of the world 🌎 you have received nothing but kindness for the people you have met. Well done 👏 Stay safe Noraly 👍

183k views at this moment while only 25k likes only? The least we can do to help this wonderful motorcycle channel is to hit the like button always for all her videos. And even better is to also comment something 👍👍

Nice to have you back. Great that you took some real time off. South Africa is now my new favorite place. So many great adventures!

Itchy Boots never ceases to amaze and thrill her loyal followers. Noralys life journey tells a wonderful story and we ALL do appreciate the hard work she does to bring so many along for the ride. Thank You Itchy Boots 👍🏼 👏 🌎 👏 👍🏼

I LOVE those caves! Was a tour guide and on rescue team for caves around johannesburg for a number of years and there are very, very few that come close to the Cango or Okavango caves in South Africa. To see them exclusively like that must have been MAGICAL!

Excellent video. The guide in the caves was brilliant, deserved much more praise than he got.

The best is yet to come dear Noraly! Our Western Cape awaits you.

So great to have you back Itchy Boots. Today's video brought back so many wonderful memories. What a country South Africa is.

The majority of Bike RU-vid channels borrow a bike for a day then write a review as if they know everything about the bike. Noraly wants to clock up 10,000Ks before she thinks she has earned the right to review the bike. welcome back Noraly.

Best episode so far, over all seasons. Just epic. Please don’t leave us again 🥺 🥳🇺🇸

The sad individuals who gave a thumbs down must be so unhappy with life. How can you not like Itchy Boots Adventures and these beautiful caves?

South Africa is the coolest place. So many attractions. That cave looks like something in a Tomb Raider game.

You can always count on Noraly to bring high quality footage to her channel, The entertainment value is off the charts. So glad to see you back Noraly.

Still the best vicarious travel experience on the internet. And something new every episode. "See what's on the menu there, might be ostrich...."

Thanks for showing us the cave. I could spend days down there.

Noraly it’s not a problem importing parts from Europe for your bike. In South Africa we have a saying “ a Boer maak a plan” ...meaning anything can be made or invented for the problem you have. Just let the bike guys know what you need and it will be expertly made for you. 👍🏻

The scenery captured by your drone in the mountain pass, and with you moving down the road in the shot, simply left me gobsmacked. The cave as well. What a wonderful journey you are on!

Hi Noraly, we're counting down the hours! Anyway, I'm taking the liberty to, on behalf of all 728 thousand people following your travels, wish you a very happy birthday for Sunday 2 May, with many more safe and carefree kilometers on the roadways of Mother Earth! Enjoy🎂!!

Great to see you back on the road tour. You deserve a break. Your videos are edited perfectly with great narration. I had a road bike for years but watching you from the start I bought a small dual sport to see the back country out of traffic and solo. Thanks for the incentive since I am 76. Be safe and continue your excellent videos.

Next trip has to be the Swartberg pass, hey Norally!? You can't skip that! You will be driving through the Cape Fold Mountains formed by the collision of continents. Halfway through you can venture into "The Hell" and even stay overnight.

The guide at the crystal caves was very informative & helpful to us itchy viewers these incredible ancient formations.

Didn't think I would miss those dazzling blue eyes but then I found myself searching for them everywhere. And then there she is! The heavens are back and with them peace to mankind and to the lonely desktop traveller. There can only be one IB...

This South African trip has been incredible, and these amazing caverns have really added spice to the journey. All the best for your travels...I have decided to buy a new Honda 300 Rally as a result of watching your adventures over the past 3 motorcycles... Thank you!

Just magnificant, only you could take all of us on this adventure. Your drone filming always is a magical feat. Stay safe my dear girl, you deserve all the compliments your viewers can shower on your channel.

Dammit this is my own country and never knew off all these places you show us.

I had no idea of the beauty of South Africa. Thank you Noraly for sharing your adventurous journey with us.

This is what is called as living life. You are actually doing great. We are here in infinite lockdown and fear of going out. Thanks for showing such beautiful places.

I really enjoyed this video. Brings back happy memories. Lived in SA for 60 years. Had a small farm near Oudtshoorn. Now living near you in The Netherlands.

You've got to love a woman that gets excited about an X ring chain :) Great to see you back, recharged, refreshed and refulgent.

What a woman ,what a bike ,what a country . Outstanding ! 😁🇬🇧

The caves are super-impressive. The portion that shined more than the rest reminded me of sugar. These videos are a masterpiece. Thanks for sharing them, Noraly. You are the greatest.

Life is incomplete when you are not around. Thank you for showing such a wonderful cave. Savannah is pretty clean and your jacket too :)

Noraly, i just went and watch your first and second video..I laughed cuz you look like a child in a good way. I can see the maturity that you have acquired during this long journey. Video quality is a lot better now and the big difference is the beat of your content. Today, you have a controlled and calculated beat in the editing process that give us the time to understand and process the information your are transmitting to the crowd. What a business woman you are. From Canada Michael

Wow incredible video, fantastic photography, I can't begin to understand how you do drone shots while riding, brilliant and what a place south Africa is ☺️

For those of us who have been there, its no surprise, but always a delight, to see the caves. The new lighting seems cool, my mental image was created before LED lighting. The guide is cool. I saw water in those pools waaay back, like 18 years ago.

Hooray, Noraly is back. 😊

Such a huge range of different landscapes in S. Africa. One minute you could be riding through the Highlands of Scotland, the next you could easily be riding through the Australian outback and then riding through lush green forests of Southern Germany.

WE MISSED YOU! WELCOME BACK. I think that was your BEST VIDEO YET! Such breathtaking scenery with the drone follow me shots and the cave shots. Also your pride in Savanah. LOVE IT LOVE IT. GREAT CINEMATOGRAPHY!

Filming, content,editing and presentation most enjoyable as you continue to travel with the 700,000+ pillion passengers. Thanks for all the happiness you bring 👍😀

Dear Noraly, I'm so happy to have you back ! This was a great video to return with. Savannah looked amazing . The new chain is a beauty. Just a reminder that they stretch quickly when new, so keep an eye on it for looseness. I'm so happy to see you got some fuel bladders. I was worried you might get stuck on the roadside. The Montagu Pass was gorgeous ! What incredible scenery ! I must say , that the cave system you were in was Majestic !!! I thoroughly loved it. I have been in several caves in my time, but none so impressive and ornate as this one. The little house you stayed in wasn't very impressive from the back, but, wow, the front and interior were fantastic. If your engine cases didn't get busted open on the Sani Pass, I'd say you've got nothing to worry about. Savannah has good ground clearance and suspension. I think it's a great idea for you to get a larger fuel tank ! Very smart idea , imho ! Thank you so very much for taking us along on your excellent and exciting adventures. So kind of you ! Welcome back, All Our Love to Our Sweet Noraly !

The Dutch girl is back! Just thought about it yesterday, that the two weeks are counting down and that it would be great to see news from her again! And there she is - and she is doing it in Noraly style "Full Throttle" :) Welcome back !!!! :)

There is no doubt that it is a country that has everything. Very good🔝

Oudtshoorn looks like spots in California, I'm always fascinated that the earth has it's doppelgangers!

Welcome back Boots! Really looked forward to your 1st returning video and it was awesome. Been to all the places you featured here and rode Montagu pass several times. But you just depict these places so wonderfully seeing my country through your eyes🙌

imagine...living on the road, without any commitment...just riding from 1 place another enjoying the scenery, adventures along the way...how cool is that.....

Glad you enjoyed your free time! Quality of your movie is excellent as is the drone footage. So glad to be enjoying the SA landscape and people with you again!

Yes our brave Dutch girl is going online again. And may we all enjoy her evenings again. Nice to have you back Noraly I hope you are rested. Greetings from the Netherlands

This is probably your most spectacularly beautiful episodes to date. “...all of that takes so much time and effort, and I just want to ride.” - my thoughts exactly. That accommodation was very nice. The stone work on the cottage was exquisite. Loved the cave, but it got a little claustrophobic in the tunnels. Happy Trails

In SA we have tons of great engineering shops who can slap you together a bash plate in next to no time

Thanks for the awesome video. Gratitude for bringing far flung parts of the world into my home. These are places I will never see before the dirt nap. The Cango Caves were amazing. I only have one semester of geology. Just enough though to make me appreciate how long it took to create that beauty. As always I am so impressed with your production quality.

Park Ranger:" I don't normally do this" .... but since you're as stunning as the scenery I'll make an exception.

The most beautiful cave I have ever seen Thank you for sharing ❤

Welcome back! It's always a good idea to replace chains and sprockets as a set. Nothing will ruin a chain more than worn sprockets and vice versa. And, in the U.S., we call the feather things that you dust with "feather dusters". ;-)

Thank you Noraly, from someone who travelled some of the routes you took in South Africa as a travel journalist! It looks like you stayed at De Zeekoe outside Oudtshoorn. The best part of the Cango Caves is viewable only in their little movie theatre. It was sealed off after they filmed it to keep it from deteriorating. Really incredibly beautiful.

As a South African and a motorcyclist for many years i'd like to give my take on why you couldn't get the accessories for your bike off the shelf. We here prefer larger capacity bikes due to the distances being travelled and even as good as that CRF is, I know no one that would spend money on accessories on a small capacity bike...BTW I love your channel and I hope you enjoy the rest of your stay in our beautiful country!

That “dusty thing” is a “feather duster” 😂 I really enjoy your channel 👌👌👌

Those caves were quite impressive. You are pretty lucky to see them in person. An Itchy Boots exclusive, it was wonderful.

The most impressive cave formations that I have ever seen. Thank you.

This part of South Africa is stunning. Once again it's so good to see you back on our screens, we all missed you. Ride safe ❤️💐

Love the caving footage Noraly! I've been a caver (32 years) longer than I've been a biker (19 years). I sometimes travel to NSS conventions (in the US) on one of my motorcycles... Thanks again! 🇺🇸

Beautiful video, Miss Boots! That cavern is something I would never have seen but for you. I'm excited for you coming to America one day. Carlsbad Caverns awaits you, along with many other geological wonders. Be safe.

I`m a fan for over a year. Keep up the great work. I love the way locals react to your beauty and the fact that you`re a woman riding alone. The world is fantastic and thanks for proving it.

Thank you Noraly for showing us such a beautiful places !! Ride safe. Love from Switzerland🇨🇭🇨🇭

Loved your videos from the first trips with Basanti, gradually catching up with your progress in the various parts of the world. Every trip has something that is special, always such great places and people, in this one your 'accent' is noticeably taking on some of the South African element, really nice to hear! Keep riding and sharing your wonderful experiences with us all.

Glad you took a break! Hope you and your friend enjoyed yourselves! Ride safe Noraly!

WOW (world of wonders) .allemachtig wat is de wereld toch prachtig !!!! Noraly !!! ik kijk nu 10 minuten en heb 3 verschillende soorten landschappen voorbij zien komen bos, bergen (heerlijk hé, daar geniet je echt van! en ik ook ) en woestijnachtig. wat is Zuid Afrika toch prachtig .Mooier dan wat ik ooit heb kunnen denken. Ik ben er verliefd op geworden En wij hebben jou ook gemist meid. Fijn dat je 2 weken hebt genoten bij je vriendin. In deze nare tijden dat we niet kunnen reizen zoals we gewend waren zijn wij heel blij met jou!

Oooo, oooo, this looks good already ! More geology, more better ! From Wiki: "The "Adventure Tour" consists of crawling through narrow passages and climbing up steep rock formations guided by small lights. The caves contain halls and limestone formations (on both tours) as well as small passages on the Adventure Tour. The smallest passage that tourists will have to pass through on the Adventure Tour is just under 15 cm to exit."

I lived in George for three years or so when my kids were young and we visited the Cango Caves often and I have been up the devils chimney, it was very tight, I remember it well, luckily I was relatively slim in those days! Being in that area was probably the best time of my life in terms of living environment, so so beautiful. Fantastic to relive it with Noraly.

Wow that cave was phenomenally beautiful. Never seen anything like it before. Beautiful cinematic coverage

This is one of my favorite videos of yours. Wow those caves! Truly unbelievable. Thank you so much for sharing. What a delight.

Excellent as Always. I'm glad You took some time for Yourself !!

I did that route in reverse with a group in 2019. An experience I'll never forget...SA will always be a special place for me. Head west for Matjesfontein..., a place lost in Victorian Times!

Happy to have you back and glad to see how much you are enjoying my country .👍🇿🇦👍

Two years ago I went on a tour in a cave in the Basque Country of Spain and your little tour brings me back to then. (pre-COVID) However... your cave is much more impressive than the one that we saw. Cool beans I.B.! Make sure that you hit some vineyards in the great Cape Town area!!

Give she the iron butt award, that is a lot of miles in her travels. Respect

THAT CAVE WAS OFF THE CHARTS. glad you were able to see it without people all around. LUCKY

Awesome to see parts of South Africa that I've never seen before

I must say, the local "guides" on your stops are really doing my country proud. From the woman at the wild cat sanctuary to Thabisa on the Wild Coast, to this caveman, they've all been top notch. Loving your videos so much.

The 30th of April being Queen's Day in the Netherlands**, I'd say the day couldn't have been picked more aptly for the return of our Queen of the Road :) (** As we currently have no queen but a king, it's King's day on the 27th of April now, but the 30th of April was Queen's Day from 1949-2013, semi forever. The day was chosen as it was the birthday of Queen Juliana. Despite being born on the 31st of January, her daughter Queen Beatrix kept the festivities on the 30th of April. Trust me, you don't want to have any open air activities on the 31st of January in the Netherlands. The day only moved a tiny bit because King Willem-Alexander happened to be born on the 27th of April)

Glad you are back from your well deserved break! Cave footage was great. The CO2 info was very interesting.

This was the by far most beautiful and impressive video i've seen in a long time!

Noraly you're doing a great job I've seen a lot of biker roadtrips on the You tube. Yours are still the best.
