Crossing the border into Honduras |S6-E51| 

I CALL THEM NORALISMS.

A bit too much praising..

Well said

You have to meet Charly sinewan!!! You guys have a lot in common!!! He is in El Salvador just now. I hope you get in touch 🤞

AMEN!!!

You're not alone. I too was thinking about watching Noralys' Monday video this evening on my way to work this morning.

Thanks Lou! ❤️

Same here. Watching these episodes is like talking to a good friend, no matter what’s going on, it’s always good. And Noraly, if you happen to read this, the noise on the truck is called a “jake brake”, he was using the engine to slow down his descent

Well, isn’t turning complete strangers into friends, however briefly, part of the journey in life?

Meet Noraly's parents in the home episode titled "tragic day that affected my family" -- posted in May 2020.

also a smart move not to give/tell her personal phone number.

@@rickrides8352 think because she is switching Sim cards all the time, there is no good phone number that is usable. So giving number of dad is the next best thing.

Well, I have a lot of friends with two Moms and they are doing wonderful. I even have friends with two Dads doing just as well.

@@mharris1957 How does that work? I didn't do biology at school but I thought you needed a male and a female to get the next generation! Like they talk about a male plug and a female socket. Ever tried plugging two male plugs into eachother? Or tried connecting two female sockets together? That won't make the light work!

I'm a world traveler.. ..... well through Noraly's channel anyways !! :)

si es verdad,

best answer .. not ... im a military cover up for logistic military staff

Never ever mess up with border officers nor the police. You can get seriuos trouble or find yourself on the wrong side of a weapon or arrested. And you don´t want that for sure in most countries. You can make jokes at a border of smaller countries if you at least have the SCOTS with you. Or bigger.

Lol 🤣🤣

Yes, and in some cases I suspect, also gouging her of her money for pretty "shaky" reasons

You have to meet Charly sinewan!!! You guys have a lot in common!!! He is in El Salvador just now. I hope you get in touch 🤞

@@joanadelao4973 you're right they go on cross roads

@@dialogarconlahistoria8229 I cross my fingers 🤞☺️

true, I already forgot how it actually is as I livein EU and here sometimes the only reference to border crossing is a table with the name of the country.

Not of course if you are a refugee!!

where is the fun in that?

@@joanadelao4973 she is way better than any other overlander, sinewan pass mostly of time in floor tring to stand his bike, no funny anymore

@@federicosoto3060 I didn't say anything about who is better or if he is worthy to be followed. I just said they could meet 🙊☺️

@Geo Figgy My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Geo. God Bless you my friend

Sorry. You dont know much about Honduras's history. The clock in Comayagua is not the oldst in America, IS THE OLDEST IN THE WORLD, WITH ABOUT 1000 YEARS OLD., AND STILL GIVEN THE EXACT TIME. You need to get more informed about Honduras. Anybody that want to see the clock, need to make an appointment with the person in charge of the care of the Church. The clock was a gift to Comayagua from one the Spain king Felipe over 300 years ago.

@@paulfiguer6313 we have found a clock history nazi, lol. Muy bien por ti hermano.

I agree with you and share your concern. I hope that the empty border towards Honduras is not a bad sign from the security point of view.

I grew up in Honduras, 16+ years. Some parts of it, typically some inner city areas, are dangerous. For the most part everything is comparatively safe if you don't bring too much attention to yourself as a foreigner. It's a beautiful country and she is going to enjoy it!

@@joanadelao4973 Trying to be match maker?

What about Mexico? 😬

@@BrassLock 😂😂👍

The Howler Monkeys go nut’s when the trucks do that. I’ve found that they often hang out where the trucks make the most noise along the roads. You can hear them getting excited long before the truck comes along.

So how engine braking works is basically closing off the exhaust valves which is causing that noise. Now the pressure has to build up to a certain level before the valve will momentarily pop open allowing exhaust gases to vacate the pipe opening and closing opening and closing causing the pop pop pop sound. Semi tractors usually have six cylinders and engine brakes AKA jake brakes usually have a selection to choose either two four or six cylinders being closed off by the sound of it I would say he had all six closed. So every time he lets off the gas pedal it immediately closes those valves and soon as he steps on the gas again it allows them to open. There are no laws on engine braking through residential areas in South America, however when you get up here to North America you will only ever hear that sound in mountainous areas in non-populated areas as it is normally illegal within city limits as a nuisance noise disturbance.

It's called a Jake brake. Developed by Jacobs Vehicle Systems.

my worries too all the time 😅

Same trap here… 😇🤷‍♂

Same her in Sweden 🇸🇪 i forgott it was this weekend!

Where exactly in Catacamas?I have been in that area and is beautiful,I love the cuevas of talgua. .

Unless there was a large change in speed or a long down hill, the truck was just being annoying riding his engine brakes.

@@barney2001 I'm sure he was being obnoxious. no reason for the Jake brake at that speed/incline.

It was a slight hill but I agree they are obnoxious with the use of them quite frequently.

How aboat no jake breaks but a leaking exhaust?

I personally don’t mind the “jakes”

So are you saying that servicing large bore engines is largely boring?!

@@antonioverdad5071 I think, it is the same like in all professions, you are doing already for a long time. Boring ist perhaps not the right word to explain. You are forcing one project by an other to neccessary succes, and you did already everything this profession has to offer. If you reached an age, more than 50, you are realising that your time on earth limited, and sometimes you think about, if you spent this time in the right way.

@@MaxMax-kx5ph I understand. Maybe that is what motivated Noraly to leave her job and travel the world?

@@antonioverdad5071???

very true but ive heard them use it a few time in the usa some states where its illegal are california colorado montana and oregon where people are tree huggers lol and have a different mind frame lol but where i live it is monitored but not illegal im in Tenn in some of the states its illegal you cant even pump your own gas here you have to self service so you see the mind set they are afraid in some of those states you might let a drop of fuel hit the ground so i guess they would rather there attendant lets a drop or two hit the ground lol

I think you mean that it functions as the REVERSE of a vacuum brake, as it relies on the compression of air (the reverse of a vacuum) against the pistons inside the cylinders acts like springs.

Everyone in Honduras is crossing into the us right now

Most of the fixers who are at the border post of Honduras are drug addicts and scammers, be careful and do not trust anyone who offers you help in exchange for money, when you arrive at the border post always ask for the immigration office, there they will give all the necessary instructions to carry out the entry and exit process and NEVER give your personal documents or passports.

Me too...

@@timpellett9701 At Central American borders the truckers are lined up before the roadside for several reasons related to bureaucracy : they may be waiting for their brokers to send the bills of lading to the customs offices at the border , to tax inspectors , and payments have to be made from the buyers /sellers of the goods, they may be waiting to transfer all or parts of their loads to other trucks which have to show up yet. A Lot of this stuff could have been done by computer links and with well organized offices but a lot of those truckers are working for themselves .The border workers are lackadaisical in their approach to work , it will,get done someday .Maybe a bribe is expected and when not received they take extra time . The same sort of thing goes on for the Canada- USA border and the USA-Mexico border but there it is less obvious because the truckers do it at the big consolidation yards outside the border towns and a lot of it is efficiently completed well before a truck arrives . . In Europe there can be long lines at some of the border crossings out of the EU zone .

Sjoerd thanks for answering, I came to the comments hoping to have this question answered too.

So strange. And why would you open the the cargo and remove some before a border crossing. Very sketchy.

Well, one part is due to the lack of staff at customs and the other part is that some of the truckers stop to rest at each border crossing.

yup, you missed it, at min 10:26 .. there is even the enthusiastic "Woo Hoo!!!" in there :D

that is normal here in honduras, motorcycles are sold like hot cakes here and most motorcyclists have no respect for traffic laws, many people die almost daily in motorcycle accidents.

YES !

For sure!! #1 on my list for two years!! 👍🤩🤠

In my 63 years, yes!

She must already be very close to the USA because we see the videos two weeks late.

@@CitroTeam I wish I could meet her because I live close to the Mexico border

we have a common market, those trucks parked on the side of the street are usually in transit, they park on the side of the road so as not to pay for parking in the designated lots and if they arrive on the day some truck drivers stop at the border to rest to go out at night again. those who go from guatemala to panama stay on the border of guasaule or el espino which borders nicaragua and those who come from panama to guatemala stay on the border of el amatillo which borders el salvador.

Oh that's just how it is in countries like that. Not really a big deal, just part of the expense. They never want more than a few bucks anyway.
