  • In this episode, I am leaving the town Zambezi in Zambia and start heading towards the capital of Zambia, Lusaka. That is too far to reach in one day so I try to get to Kaoma. There are two options: the shortcut, and the long way around. I opt for the shortcut - but was that a good idea?

    Hi Noraly, I have been depressed, unemployed, struggling Assyrian woman. I just binged the whole series from the start and am in tears - Your travels, unwavering strength & radiant positivity are so very inspiring. Thank you for giving me hope that one day I can smile as bright as you do ❤ much love from Detroit Michigan
    Edit: Ohhh wow I guess Noraly took away her like but did not expect anyone to care about what some random girl being vulnerable on the internet is going through. I am deeply moved and you’ve filled me with so much hope, made me feel loved. You are all so inspiring & all I can say is thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for being a wonderful community, thank you for sharing your struggles, offering gentle kindness, & showing me love. God Bless you beautiful people! You are amazing and I love you ❤

      How many times have you caught yourself watching, trying to help her lift that bike? Lots of us do it, but probably not many of us notice we are doing it.

But like on a boat on the ocean when the sea kicks up, there's no going back, no stopping, your only option is to simply carry on. I am from Africa, I have driven similar roads. But alone, on a motorcycle? You are truly one of a kind, a genuine hero.

    In "Zambia Shall Be Free" by Kenneth Kaunda, he recounted an incident of being waylaid by a lion, in one of his travels throughout the country to rousing the political consciousness of the people, in the 1950s/60s. Instead of surrendering effortlessly, he wrote that he scared off the menacing lion by lifting his bicycle shoulder high (as if to attack the lion with it). I read this book over 40 years ago but I recalled this incident by your imagining that the narrow-muddy-grassy path you plied looked like a lions' ambush magnet.
    I admire your bravery in plying these lonesome bushy pathways, keep up the great adventure. Zambia so far reminds me of my Eastern Nigeria homeland, I can't wait to see the rest of your exploration of this country of West Africans-seeming people.

    Goeie dag Noraly, I just watched and enjoyed your ( S7-E89) trip in Zambia and lowering your tyre pressure on a sandy track is a very good technique as this lengthens your tyre footprint giving a larger surface area on top of the sand so you will not sink in as much. Your chance of getting a puncture will also be reduced. Think of it this way, a fully blown up balloon can be easily punctured with a pin, a half blown up balloon is much harder to puncture with a pin because the rubber of the balloon is much more flexible. The same with a tyre, at lower tyre pressures the rubber is more flexible and the Tread can conform to the shape of the object you are driving over reducing the chance of a puncture.

    Soft sand is tough going but you made it through. Such a stunning but remote region. I am glad you made it to the lodge. Alaska is still the best choice for this journey. A motorcycle road racer told me that if you don't fall off you are not trying hard enough! Thank you for taking us on your incredible journey. Safe travels.

    Glad you made it to Kaoma - ten falls in one day must be a new record for you. Glad Alaska held up alright and that she didn't have any major breakdowns. Hope you get a good meal and a shower at your accommodations. Once again you are lucky - hard to say if the shortcut was a good idea but at least you made it through all your falls. Stay safe, stay well, get some rest, and be careful. Enjoy the journey and keep up your great attitude. You have to be sore after all of those falls but at least you had no injuries.

    Africans have to travel the same routes and many times on foot carrying things. I admire those that are committed to their villages and the children.

    Your an experienced rider, you probably already thought about it. Instinct after a fall is to get back onto the saddle and go again. I find it helpful to wait a moment to get over the exertion of lifting the bike, and relax a few minutes to cool down before getting back on, allows the body to rest, and cool down, a mental and physical reset. Too often people rush to remount the bike and go, and the fatigue tends to multiply, rider over heats and crashes become more often, than if they had rested and cooled down to restart fresh.

I was so impressed that I had not watched anything else for 2 days. It almost feels like my days of watching the Breaking Bad series. I could not stop watching. I am in Nakuru, Kenya, and I am sure that is one of the places you must stop when you get to Kenya. It will be a jol for my daughter and I to meet, and probably host you.

You got your exercise today too. That was very nice of the safari to offer to follow just in case. As the comments go: You are quite a sight for people when they see a woman on a dirt bike and you tell them you are from 11,000km away in Netherlands and you name off about 10 countries you came thru so far. They always stop and think about that for a few seconds. Some even scratch their head. Great to see you again Noraly. I hopt you are having the time of your life. Thank you for taking us along.

It is Her greatest wealth and resource, and although we know how important it is to use and develop natural resources in order to better the lives of the people, i do hope that each country finds a way to do this without the great loss of large natural beauty that so much of the world has lost and is still losing.

I enjoy every minute with the wonderful camera work, the enthusiasm and positiveness. I am also so happy to see someone that shows the beauty of the African continent and to be a woman. I wish all those extreme-right social media places in my homeland, Sweden, which claims that "they only had themselves to blame" whenever they hear about tourists getting into trouble in some of the muslim African countries, could see these videos and see how friendly people are, how safe a young, single woman can be travelling in the remote savannas, jungles and forests of Africa. Noraly restores a bit of my faith in the human world!
