They say, "An adventure is a vacation that was horribly planned". Noraly's vacation rides are def not planned out. But that's the fun for her, right? GO ITCHY, GO!!

yeah !

Yep,,,, that's for sure 👌

@@bustersmith5569 Yes accurate I feeling like in the 1950 tis I was a child 🚸in East Germany where I born 1952 ......... Awesome 👍😎

Stefan, what you say here is very true and thanks for putting it.

BINGO ITS THE RULE NOT THE EXCEPTION

Yes, amazing willingness to help her however difficult!

I was thinking the same. One of the most thrilling episodes!

If she had actually listened to them it would have been easier.

Nah I don't think she was scared, perhaps a tiny bit concerned just not knowing exactly if it would work but she has such a great attitude towards adversity and overcomes it every time!

What? She did listen to them, they worked together and her idea worked even better and the guy even said so. If you listened...he said "you are very intelligent" because her method worked, so your comment is invalid.

Went through Coca and Limoncocha years ago on the way into Yasuni. Beautiful country but...too many petrol company boats on the river, and too many helicopters :(.

That's what is missing from travel videos: the sensations, the type of heat, of humidity, the shivers in the morning, the taste of the local food and booze, the smells... At least, with these videos, I now want to visit many of those countries that I would never have considered before... 👍

@@merlin2600 It is a small planet, but a fascinating one, and there are no uninteresting corners....

So Wonderful!! Thank you for your comment and recognition. It is so nice to hear the " excitement" in your words and to realize that it is indeed "a small world" !!!

Yeah I noticed that as well specially in the Iran’s season and you are right 👍

Beautiful 😻 out there 🙏

I think its quite arrogant from your part to ASSUME that YOUNG GIRLS are getting inspired to SPREAD THEIR WINGS AND FLY AWAY. What makes you believe that their life isn't amazing???? they live better that all of us, they live with nature without pollution and they lean from nature, they also go to school. WHAT makes YOU believe they want to leave?? IGNORANCE is a giving, Do you think this young girls will be happier living in other parts of the world like North American or Europe where drugs are easy to use and the sense of family barely EXIST in most of the so called DEVELPED countries. SO before giving your ignorant comments away, THINK TWICE before you make any comment. People with your mentality are the ones who committed and still committing GENOCIDES just by PURE IGNORANCE thinking your LIFE or your way of living life is better than the ones living in parts of the world like the jungle . This people live in paradise, no consumerism, there isn't a competition about who has the better car , house or clothes. They go to bed with the start and wake up with the sun!. THEY EAT HEALTHY NON GMO foods directly from the farm to the table Jesus some people are just so ignorant.

@@westcoastkitties What makes you believe it's not? You're overthinking this by a long shot.

I would have lost my total comprehension trying to do that there. Just wow how chill Noraly stayed.

@@lenzikka to be fair, she kinda lost it too at one point haha

Hello. I am Bangladeshi also. Good to see some Bangladeshi comments here. I enjoyed Noraly's video from the very beginning started in India. Hope you will enjoy. There has much more learning things.

If you like adventure that,is what gets you to go! Not Necessarily courage. Lol But yes,you can not be a chicken!!

Yes, it wasn't her finest hour.

Her baby!

They told me the maximum capacity was 4 people, so while we were trying to get Alaska in, my mind was running mathematical loops, trying to work out whether Alaska + luggage + me would equal 4 people and whether they would take the average weight of an Ecuadorian for that (they are not the biggest people) 🤪

... a change of underwear for sure: never seen her look so concerned!

She did it though. She’s an inspiration to us as she gets through some tough scrapes without ever giving up.

Wouldn't like to try it with a GS lol

This is where the c90 comes in clutch 🤣

@@antonbavdek4276 The C90 one could have taken off the wheels and handlebar and put it in a backpack and swimmed across that river….😂😂

@@dvdh4937 Huh - I have travelled all over Thailand on my 250 with a pillion and luggage for a several weeks trip, and up to 825 kms a day. Why would anyone think thats not possible? In Thailand and southeast-Asia a whole family travels on a 100-150 cc bike sometimes quite long distances without any problems at all….

@@KurtGAndersen im waiting for borders to open, to ride my my C70 from Singapore to thailand

*visible confusion* 😂

Patterson??

They let her go 1st as well. They could have gone ahead and let her load the bike by herself. Nice guys!

They were also wanting her to put the Bike in Rear-end first. Because of her windshield. But they made it work. Would have made it easier to remove also!

Except she crossed before ever coming to a bridge. Haha

I have been also sailing down the Pacific Coast of Central America. Aa you say, we have had reason to be grateful for the local panga many times.

How about doing that river crossing with a G1250GS lol x

True, like reverse parking.....there would have been no need to push/pull it to fit

Great mansplaning session guys well done..... 🙄 She did it her way she made it work life's about the experience not the efficacy.

@@antonbavdek4276 Mansplaining is a pejorative term meaning " to comment on or explain something to a woman in a condescending, overconfident, and often inaccurate or oversimplified manner". Author Rebecca Solnit ascribed the phenomenon to a combination of "overconfidence and cluelessness".

@@antonbavdek4276 What are you getting all pissy about? All OP said was that putting Alaska inside the basket in reverse would have been far easier, which is true. He's not criticizing Noraly, just making an observation. Also imagine using the term "mansplaining" unironically, and you're not even using it correctly lmao

I think she didn't understand what he was saying, it was a language issue. Notice subtitles are also missing at those points in the video.

I worried about Alaska, was afraid for you part she will damage on that steel basket! Nice wet gravel roads, 100 time better than tar. Thanks Noraly.

Me too Piet. I was stressed out for Alaska.

@@Kingwoodish You can do it in 3 different ways. The risky one is by small boats alongside the coast . Other is by shipping Alaska in a container. And last one is by plane, crating it just like she did it when she came from europe.

@@Kingwoodish Well, that is certainly what I would do. But some adventurous souls have done it by bike (=> eg Helge Pedersen). And from what I have seen of Noraly so far, I am a bit concerned on her behalf. I know, - what a condescending sentiment! I know she can think for herself. But I hope she will forgive a 62-year old father to two daughters. - And I guess we´ll soon find out!

I look forward to which path she’ll take through the Darien Gap! Looks daunting yet fun

What’s the problem with the Darien Gap? Pardon my ignorance, I know where it is but have no idea what’s there.

@@axelknutt5065 No worries, your "ignorance" is easily excused !😉 The problem is that there is not much there in terms of roads. Just jungle and jungle tracks and rivers. Most travelers bypass it by ferry or flight. There are some interesting KZfaq clips that will give you an idea.

Wow. And "tertiary roads!" I love the helpful, smiling people. So well done!

Strong heart? Strong bowels more like.

Meanwhile, the locals do this several times a day.

Great job Noraly

Haha I was noticing that myself. Hilarious "O M G what am I doing" face

I can't prove it but I think that most of us looked exactly the same way! 😀😀😀

A bigger basket, for sure. In the bigger boat needed case, there was a giant shark. Fortunately not so in the Amazon region of Ecuador.

@@iangreen180 There is one shark known for entering rivers...

What a fantastic saying!

Thanks Taylan. I guess its a fitting tribute to the gallant endeavor.

My workplace safety committee would shut that cart down in a heartbeat! Lol

@@hamrmark If their hearts still beat after seeing it, that is… 🤣

Where I live they would have closed it on Health and Safety excuse. I remember once that the Metro line was closed due to a tiny branch had fallen on the overhead cable>😁

Hahahaha 🙂 Also the whole scenery could be part of many parents' stories about their ways to school :-)))

The skeptic in me says what if there is a frayed section of cable halfway across?

There just seems to be something about Ecuador and its people that is very appealing.

Insane but entertaining… just wondered why not entered the cage backwards.. much easier..best video so far.. enjoying every minute..

You know, she knew it was insane but you notice how she did not back down from the challenge. She is amazing.

@Mazinblaster Z yes, this is reality wherever there is extreme poverty. However, everywhere there are places you should avoid, especially after dark. She is a seasoned enough traveller to recognise, and avoid, most risk. And her great personality brings out the best in those around her.

On the right trail with that one.

Founding fodders were slave drivers,shiney bling was all they understood.

SO TRUE FROM ONE TEXAN TO A WANNABE TEXAN.

Likely would have worked too. Very often one can back in to tight places easier than drive in.

@@wssides I reckon if Alaska had been backed in on the angle ,the rear end would of cleared the central basket rail before the windshield started to obstruct it . I have a similar situation fitting one of my motorcycles ,a small Honda 125 Innova with windshield & carrier into my garage .I have to turn it around to back it in to squeeze it in the small space left by my other motorcycles . My Spanish is very limited ,but I think the guys were suggesting that Noraly back Alaska down the ramp to turn around & then back it up back up the ramp & into basket . Luckily both Noraly & Alaska survived the ordeal & adventure crossing the Rio 👍

I am from Ecuador and yes you are right! They were suggesting exactly that as it is their daily job and they have done it several times but why make it easier right? Haha keep on riding!

@@montalvoandres Muchos Gracias señor 👍

Yes the crazy lady on a motobike crossing the river in the jungle

If Noraly had done what the young fella first said - just ride it up and park it - then all of the gubbins on top of the handlebars would have got the chop.

@@sroberts605 yeah why the hell didn't they put it on backwards.

@@royblackburn1163 they told her to put in backwards but she didn’t understand ...no entiendo

@@harlyredhonda9938yes I know, they should have insisted, ain't no cure for stupid.

Well said. Noraly is an ambassador for Europe, and your comment is a great welcome to South America.

Time for some new people in your life :)

a GS can't try it, there are no river crossing between the owners home and Starbucks

YES THE BEEMER WOULD NOT OF FIT FOR SURE EVEN IF WEIGHT WAS NOT AN ISSUE .

@@keinplan147 Stereotypical nonsense. Usually, not always though, said by people who cant afford it.

I find that is how the world is ,Its only the government`s that create problems as i see it

@@gordonbrydson4733 I do agree but some people are influenced by government/media and then they don't act anymore like they should
