In this episode, it's time to start heading back to the capital and because it will be tarmac from now on, I continue on a pretty much vintage Africa Twin. I say goodbye to Didier and I'm on my own again: mixed feelings! The incredible town of Fianarantsoa is all worth it though!!

I wanted to take this time to say . The behind the scenes work that is put into this content is absolutely astounding. The sacrifice the discomfort and dangerous situations. makes most of us appreciate this content. And more than I can express ... take comfort in knowing we all here can say Thank you Noraly( Itchy Boots .)
That is true. She is brave and learned too.
🧢 she has a team
@@workoutwarriorzoneNo, she has no team. Go back and look at some of her older work. Not to mention her speaking at a large motorcycle event in England. She specifically addresses just this fallacy. No team! It's generally just Noraly and Alaska. Or whichever bike she's using at the time. 👎
@@workoutwarriorzoneno team. It’s all her
@@jaykb6587💯no team, Noraly has years of experience and super equipment. I love and appreciate how she has travelled ALL OVER THE WORKD and grown with it. 🫶🏿👏🏾💐
We gonna miss Didier, falling all over the sandy paths on his little bike. At least he survived the Itchy Boots biking experience! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😂
I like this comment. Gave me a giggle🤣🤣
@@robertscranton2358 he was doing one wheelers no more!😂😂
I won’t miss him but I am thankful that he guided Noraly so well. Noraly prefers to ride alone.
That naughty cactus 😂
Haha remember him falling all the time with the Chinese stuff in the sand, but man he knew how to ride in the mud areas better than anyone, he rode through mud roads like in highway
If Didier reading this , you are a great noble person man. Really the Madagascar journey become special as you guys travelled in remote areas ,thank you for making this journey of Noraly safe and more fun. smoke less buddy , injurious to health🚭 Again thank you from Itchy boots fans
I am old and have been riding for over 45 years. In my late 50s I changed from road bikes to adventure bikes and enduros. I have done 1000s of km on the Nordschleife and rode many years in South Africa and now in India. The golden rule applies: it is 85% the rider and 15% the bike. With Noraly's videos it is 85% the personalty and 15% the locations. The girls were right. Noraly is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. ❤
You are absolutely correct my friend! Noraly’s adventures are priceless!
When you're an old lady looking back at your life, the memories you'll have will be priceless.
Did you see what it said on her shirt....I don't think Noraly plans on ever becoming an old lady.😄
@@vidguy52 Nature determines her to become an old lady (like it determined me to have become an old guy) - she cannot escape ageing. But certainly she will be a beautiful old lady then.
@@HenryTheGerman Science has shown that chronological age is not the same as biological age. The mind and how we control it is the key. She will age in number chronologically but her positive spirit will slow her aging biologically.
She 's a beautiful and brave super Lady... Keep shining Mâma ❤❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Memories fade away in older aged people, sometimes memories are gone altogether, but all the experiences she has will transform her into a better version of herself, with passion, understanding, patience, humility etc etc. These attributes far surpass any memories, the destination is determined by the journey.
Thank Didier for everything, he was really helpful, now you alone again, ..good luck
He is a cool dude to ride with.
"Even in the rain, it's still pretty here". Your consistent attitude of gratitude is what draws me to your videos every week. ❤
"You are beautiful !" (14.25) - Yes, Noraly, beyond everything external, you have so much beauty of heart and soul. Everyone you meet feels this immediately. Even your toughness is beautiful.
To deal any situation with a smile like noraly does is a great thing to learn. This woman is a real gem and this adventure and channel is absolutely fantastic
Yes, I absolutely agree with you...her laugh in any situation is great lessons for many people 😅😊
@@ruby75789If she retires, she has great potential as a diplomat!
Sounds like an invitation. Soon we see her exploring Pjöngjang! 🙂
.. Proper Respect = Noraly .. Not .. ''noraly'' .. Nutso AvaTard
Noraly’s view of the world around her is absolutely amazing!
Didier is an excellent motorcycle rider who continued to persevere through the journey with you. I will miss his smile. May Peace be upon us all.
He was a very humble person he doesn’t get frustrated in all the trials he went through he never got angry
Noraly is an astounding person...if there can be the combination of quietly cheerful courage, she embodies it. Her capacity to face adversity, natural or human, is remarkable. A few yrs back, we watched a TV documentary about 2 well-known men who rode heavy duty bikes through South America..two bigger whiners cannot be imagined. There is ZERO whining from this tough joyful woman...she just gets on with it. Inspirational is not a word to throw around lightly, but Itchy Boots is inspirational. Sharing her travels is epic. I thank her every time I see a new video.
I am an 84 year young pan african who haz long dreamed of a trip to Madagascar, bless you for ma king my dream real❤
Do you think you might go there one day? What has stopped you?
I'm 54 and I can't get my leg over much these days like@@philtucker1224
I’m glad you got to see Madagascar through Noraly’s camera lenses! Noraly’s view of the world is a dream come true for many of us!
@@philtucker1224probably his health and his time
That old little historic town is so pretty, clean and well preserved. What a pleasant gem.
The rain is kind of soothing when you don’t have to travel or work in it, just sit back and listen and enjoy😊.
We gonna Miss Didier. Thanks to him. His company was awesome.
Oh Island in the sun. Madagascar, just a name for most of us. But now we have discovered it's beauty, the beautiful pristine beaches on the blue ocean. The impressive Baobab trees , the friendly and helpful residents, the Malagasy . A woman called Itchy Boots rode ( with Didier on her site ) on a motorcycle over sandy paths, broken roads, dodging cycle rickshaws and ox wagons. Struggling through the swamps , cuddling with lemurs and not keeping it dry. Her magnificent drone images showed us the breathtaking beauty of this island. In the future when we hear something about Madagascar, we will remember these images and impressions of this island country in the great Indian Ocean . Thank you for taken us on your journey . All my thumbs 👍👍 up for you Noraly . Fedde
Yes, and full of sharks.
Dear, respect your way of describing the Totality of Madascar.,in a beautiful words, maybe you have written some poems/ article in your bygone days ❤. Love from Kolkata West Bengal India 🙏
She did a better job than any other tourism agency
Yes she did @@lom-nava5371
Why did I read this with the Narrator's voice lol
A massive thank you to Didier for being there for Noraly.Despite some bad road conditions everything worked out well and he now has some great memories of a fabulous trip around his Island paradise.
I pray that all the wars, corruption, insecurities that plagues Africa ends so that the whole world is able to see and experience the natural, unparalleled beauty inherent in all of us. Ride safe, Noraly.
I realy liked Didier, so calm and never complained on anything
Yes, and no ego, he never tried to steal the spotlight. Did his job with determination and respect. Noraly was probably a bit nervous about adding a fulltime person to her channel, if even for a short time because she is very particular of her content. But it worked out really well because of the type of person Didier is. Peace!
This series of videos showing us the beauty of Madagascar is unmatched. The drone footage simply outstanding and give us a perspective we’ve probably never seen. Thanks.
The drone footage is absolutely amazing!
Good day Noraly. My non biker friends are now hooked on your adventures. You truly do appeal to everyone. From the UK
Your videos inspire us to get out and explore, you don’t need to go on the other side of the planet sometimes the adventure is just outside our own doors.
That certainly was a downpour of rain. The tarmac looked smooth, and the green scenery was gorgeous. I'll miss Didier. He is such a gentleman, kind, friendly, and a good moto-rider.
Didier has done his job to help make this entire adventure possible. I think that the entire Itchy Boots community will salute him. Normal solo adventure continues for Noraly. We can’t wait to see what happens in the next few weeks. Let’s Go👍👏👏😊
Tell me if Didier had KZhead Account
“Even in the rain it’s still pretty here.” If only more people had your perspective, image the world we could be living in. Much respect to Didier for being an excellent guide and his “roll with the punches” kind of attitude. Glad he was a good fit for your travels through Madagascar. Stunning rock formations you captured with your drone, just beautiful. Thank you, Noraly ❤
I like the fact that you always smile 😃 even if things are not going your will. I thank GOD that he created you with time . Am sending my love all the way from Namibia 🇳🇦.
🙂🇦🇺
Being accompanied by Didier was a great idea. He added security and was additional entertainment, besides landing in the cactus. Ha!
From Central Kentucky, USA. I have ridden a motorcycle over 200,000 km in US and Canada. Understand the challenges you face on the road far from home with only yourself to rely on. In envy of Noralys exotic travels and her love of adventure and kind heart. Stay safe
Didier, you were part of this great adventure. Thank you!
I have been following itchy boots since last year, and I can't find words to express my gratitude for your hard work and audacity. This is undoubtedly a piece of art. Despite the inspiration I received from you, I hope to meet you some time. Keep maintaining your excellent work at its peak.❤
_THIS EPISODE CAUGHT MY EYE AND I WAS MORE INTERESTED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS FIANARANTSOA MORE_ *So I did my research and found that FIANARANTSOA was built in 19th century by the MERINA as the administrative capital for the newly conquered BETSILEO kingdoms* *FIANARANTSOA means good education in Malagasy* *It's a cultural and intellectual centre for the whole island* *It's home to the some of the oldest protestants and Lutheran cathedrals on the island,the oldest theological seminary as well as the ROMAN CATHOLIC ARCHDIOCESE of FIANARANTSOA, maybe that's the reason we have many churches* *The city of good education also boasts a university named after it and built in 1972* *FIANARANTSOA is considered the capital of Wine in Madagascar because of the presence of many wine industries in the city*
Thank you...🙂🇦🇺
Oh, the picture of the coffee and the sound of the rain in the quaint green streets, a slice of heaven on the other side of the world!
I have to be honest that Madagascar's many kind of landscapes had taken me by surprise. I did not expect that it could have it all. Seeing all the places you've been to in Madagascar seems like we've been to many different countries. Wow! Unexpected wonder
Noraly's journey through Africa is truly inspiring. With nothing but her motorcycle and her own determination, she's traversing the continent, showing us its beauty and diversity. And now, with Didier's help in Madagascar, they're tackling even the most rugged terrain together, proving that with teamwork, anything is possible.
We are gona miss didier taking a smoke break everytime you guys stopped for a snack!!he was an awesome rider with his kawasaki bike doing the one wheeler!!!!
The weather, the geology, the geography, the flora & fauna, and the people! Amazing! Thanks!
Good Morning World ! Coming from Washington State 🫶🏻 Love Itchy Boots ❤️
Washington state here too!
Me too, love this lady and the adventures.
🙂🇦🇺
Those mountains at 7:20 are jaw dropping, wow. What an incredible part of the world.
Few people will ever experience riding alone - it’s both wonderful and very very tough! I am currently riding through the Indian Himalaya again on my Enfield and in each guest house I stop to watch Itchy Boots on her journey around the planet! Don’t ever stop Itchy!
Love your perspective, it's like a breath of fresh air in a sea of sameness.
Good one, good one👏👏
Yes, we all create the sameness and Noraly creates the escape 💕💕
Very well said!!!
The scenery on the ride to the city was amazing, especially the drone footage of the mountains! Plus, the architecture in the city was incredible, despite the rain! What a great ride and the Honda proved to be the perfect mount to cover the route. Thanks for sharing another day in your adventure. Ride safe Noraly!
Is it just me or Noraly is getting better and better with the choice of the music for the episodes? Somehow better capturing the lonely rider feeling most of us really love.
Madagascar has it all: Mountain, water, forest, desert, beach, animals. And the people happy and striving despite poverty.
they are not thriving if theyre in abject poverty.
What a wonderful journey through Madagascar island, just like every other countries you have visited, we will surely miss this country too. Great shoutout to Didier for being an amazing person throughout the journey. There is beauty in our world
Props to Didier for taking all those falls and being a survivor!! Madagascar is beautiful, seems much like Kerala
Noraly can make an established man from the first world feel like they have missed something important in life. Her travels show us some of the most fascinating places this world can offer. With a smile, thank you.
You speak great wisdom Doug! Peace!
lots of memories of taking cover from the african rain and corregated iron love that sound!
I think Didier was the ideal travel guide/companion for your style. I had fun, as well. Interesting rock formations, indeed! And what a lovely town. The people who live there must be in great physical shape. 🙂
Noraly, I love when you “launch” your drone and show us the fantastic countryside and mountains. Your selection of music and editing the footage is top notch. Excellent work. Your YT channel and its content is always the highlight of my day.
Didier was an awesome companion...mad motorcycle skills. Now back on your own, as we and you are used to. And of course you get caught in rain, but how gorgeous are those small streets?!!! So our Noraly, (SuperWoman), the one who doesn't wear a cape, takes us on another journey in Madagascar. So thankful for your channel. A true breath of fresh air to see, and receive. Thanks for working so hard to bring us these videos. You make me proud to be human! 😍
I thought Madagascar was just rain forest. The scenery today was beautiful. Open areas with very few people and incredible mountains and rock formations. Nice ride today 😊
Noraly if you find yourself on your own.. You'll find yourself in good company 👋💚
Rain or shine Noraly is a true explorer she doesn't know discomfort .Thanks for diligently bringing us top-class videos on time every time.❤
Honestly, insane as you’d put it , unprecedented natural beauty these rocky outcrops . Your camera work does complete justice to bring us this masterpiece of a landscape. Amazing.
Wow, how can you not enjoy that little cafe with rain. Perfect place for a date. What gem this place is. Surprise not many speak of it.
Only your videos make me do this; I have to watch your videos 3 times. First i watch it for passion Second to see if i have missed something and third to read the comments.
lol…. Like you, I usually watch them at least twice!
Me too!!!! I'm afraid I'm going to miss something!!😂
Not sure if the guy at the check point was referring to the weather, country, Honda or Noraly herself, but in any case.... he's not wrong. An amazing place to explore, I've gotten to see things that I had no idea existed.
I just love your choice of soundtracks. You clearly have an ear for picking music that rhymes with what we're watching. I think that's a part of the secret to your success. Good job, as always.
Thanks for cooling off in Fianarantsoa town, riding 1000km is fatigue. The rocky landscape reminds me of Nepture's moon surface. Am glad we are still in this solar system Noraly. Lets keep on exploring.🖤💜🤎💙💛💚🧡💪🦾💪
Noraly will do just fine back on her own. She has somehow made it nearly through 7 Seasons and still going strong. Another beautiful ride and professional presentation video of it.💗always
So true xx hitchyboots ❤️
Nicely said and fully agree 👍
Agree!👍🏻
Agree 100% 😊
Au revoir, Didier! Merci d'avoir guidé Noraly! ❤
Noraly's world travels not only have shown us how beautiful our world is, but also how beautiful, kind and helpful humans are on our planet. I wish Noraly safe travels as always. Noraly should cut a deal with Discovery or National Geographic to create a miniseries of her 7 plus years of world travels on a motorcycle! This way, millions of more people who don't see her travels on KZhead, can enjoy it as much as us!
Good morning, Internet, and good morning Noraly, and so the beautiful and inspiring journey continues. Thank you, Didier, for your help in this continuing story. Noraly, thank you for sharing your dreams with the world. Tunji from Lagos.
I found myself wondering about the thoughts going through Noraly's mind with so much time to think riding over 500km through serene scenery to Fianarantsoa, especially after departing with Didier and all they had been through. Had to be an emotional shift. 14:30 was the crowning moment for me, tears of joy. Thank You always Noraly, Peace! ❤❤❤
Hey Jason! Also thinking she might have been in a reflective mood, considering Madagascar journey is soon coming to an end!
Didier did great heavy pack deep sand crapy motorcycle. Clearly a very skilled rider.
Bye bye Didier......you're good man and a good riding companion for Noralee. Best of life to you. Noralee....this view at 6:15 took my breath away. What an amazingly beautiful place Madagascar is. What a privilege to see this through your eyes.
I have a feeling you could have a new companion to ride with in every country if you wanted. That says a lot about how well you are respected. I started to watch your channel because of your eyes. I have viewed every video because of your attitude and class. Cheers from Nova Scotia.
Once again the drone makes the landscape come alive.
Hello everyone, from South Africa. Its raining here too. Port ELIZABETH, by the sea. Enjoying our itchy boots. 😊
hey neighbor 😂
Madagascar has amazing scenery that if not for you Noraly, I would never see. I look forward to every video and they never disappoint! ❤
Her t-shirt says 'Stay Wild' and she seems to live that every day. Brave, beautiful and inspiring ! 🏆🏆
The bike is very well kept , the africa twin really is a beautiful machine will miss the dirt roads though but it's worth it ❤ thanks to Francois & didier for arranging the bike ❤
Madagascar is beautiful ❤️❤️. Thank you Noraly for bringing us along
Salute Didier! The Itchy Boots tribe journeys on. I hope the algorithm does its job and finds your path again. So long Didier!
Thanks Noraly your smiles and laughter are engelic you connect with the real humanity No harm will come your way
Everytime breathtaking... Thank you, Noraly, for "taking me" with you on a journey around Africa!
Hi Noraly...Wow...your Passion on the ROAD....MOTIVATES ME....n REMIND ME of how Small a HUMAN BEING Compared to the MOUNTAINS...there..(HONESTLY it's my PASSION to see MOUNTAINS n Nature....back in 80's n 90's..)...60 yrs old now n JUST ENJOYING YOUR VIDEO...Take CARE n CHILL ok...
There was some spectacular scenery in the first part of your video, where all those rocky outcrops and hills were. It was really beautiful there. And then after you reached your final destination, you ended up having a free shower courtesy of Mother Nature! I sure hope you don't catch a cold! Take care and see you in the next video! 🤗✌🌷🌻🌷☔🌨
I gotta giggle about the gas gauge dilemma. While I would gladly admit I would never have the guts to do what this woman is doing traveling across the world on a motorcycle, and I consider myself a biker, most all of the bikes when I first started to ride bikes way back in 1972 when I was 12 years old all had "trip meters"... thats your gas gauge... the only other thing ya needed to know was the mpg's that the bike gets and you never run out of gas. Good luck Itchy Boots, I pray daily for all safe trips for you in your travels!!😁
So good by Didier! 🙏🤗 Thanks for showing us around some fantastic places! "Where are the Push-Pushs when you need them?" In that kind of weather you need a Tuff-Tuff! That was absolutely magic countryside there! Instant re-watch required! 🤩 🤗,😍!!1!
Noraly, you’re amazing and so are your adventures! They are a reminder for young ladies like my 14 yo daughter that we can do anything if we just put our mind to it. Keep up the amazing work! You are an inspiration as always ❤
Didier certainly added to the adventure. Happy to stay in the background, ambitious to help you explore, and ride on not very good bikes! He's a good lad!
Super cool little Honda sitting there when the rain started at the end.
Yea not sure what it was exactly. Kinda looked like it had some XR DNA.
@@jasonzerbini2375 Agree and I love old XR's.
Hello Nora Sending love ❤️ from Lagos Nigeria 🇳🇬
Give me Money , Money 💰 Nigeria 🇳🇬
I started watching Itchy Boots 4+ years ago, somewhere in Tajikistan, and been following ever since! Gotta say, She makes it look TOO easy! 👍👍💥
I absolutely love it when she uses the drone. Just look at our beautiful planet people.
Am just so happy to have this opportunity to see different countries through your eyes. Keep going, enjoy and be safe out there. Much love Noraly
An unforgettable journey in Madagascar with you, Noraly. Thank you.
Hi Noraly, There is no gas gauge on that bike it only has a reserve of 1.35 us gallons. Make sure you are riding with the peacock set to ON, not reserve. Once you start running out of fuel, switch to reserve and find a gas station soon. Remember to switch it back to ON after refill.
don't you love spell-check; petcock is the word! I knew there was a reserve but I didn't know how much.... my current is a weestrom set for 80/20.
@henrytowne7463 lmao, I never noticed that.
@@henrytowne7463 🦚
woow!!! not only a good biker but also A PRO video editor Everything about you is so amazing may protect you along you journey
Goodbye, Didier! Thank you for your guidance and skills for Noraly. I loved this cobblestone and wide staircase town. Can't wait for the next video. Mada is simply a lovely, friendly Island Country. So beautiful!
Yes Visual Poetry. Wonder for the eyes.
Madagascar is so beautiful everywhere..... it would be impossible to pick a favorite! It would be like being put in a room full of diamonds and being asked to choose the best one! Noraly, thank you for the very entertaining videos and epic scenery,
Wow Noraly, fantastic video all alone again, "stay wild" on your shirt is awesome ! Madagascar is such a magnificent country your drone footages are insane wonderful, love the music! - Didier is a great man, liked your rides together ✌👍 Btw. Kenya, Tanzania had floods due to very havy rain, people died, thats very sad ! Stay safe and protected ❣🙏
What a breathtaking episode through an enchanting Madagascan landscape and finished off with showers of blessing. The trouble you go through to bring us along your challenging but beautiful journey is unenviable. But you endure it. Thank you Noraly
Didier was a good companion for sure; a positive spirit for the journey. I would love to get his “take” on the Itchy Boots experience!
I’m sure an experience to remember…for many reasons!!
Finally! The best 20 minutes of the day ❤
All the minutes are great.
Yes! The best part of the day!
Thanks for posting. As always your drone shots and other videos are unmatched. The Madagascar solider recognized your beauty as many of us have. Safe journeys and stay dry. 🏍☔❤
...She's a survival...she adapt easily to every environment she finds herself...I admire your adaptable ability...stay safe
Madagascar has such interesting architecture. I've never seen anything like it. That old town was quite charming. I've been loving Itchy Boots content since 2020.
