Stuck in Lima... and still so darned chipper!

I think in a previous vid she said she would be on the second flight... YMMV

Glad to see she's well situated, safe and as usual . . . good spirits.
There must be an easier way to bring up new Episodes. I've "subscribed" but haven't seen any benefit of doing it yet. I'm basically bookmarking the most recent video I've seen, then bring it up and pick the next Episode when it's displayed on the list on the right hand side of the screen. A little cumbersome, but it works. Guidance anyone?

For those, like me that don't quite have the hang of hunting up YouTube videos, here's Noraly's latest post, Season 2, Episode 75.

Thanks for posting the link Shuey!
I noticed in the previous video that at one of the checkpoints they stopped in front of a all places, a Scotiabank! The Canadians on the site will be familiar with that institution.
Hopefully her next post will include the flight out info from the Dutch embassy!
In addition to subscribing, also click on the bell to get alerts. Alerts will be sent to the email you use to sign in to Youtube. By signing in, you will also see a list of your subscriptions.
I see on the Itchyboots Facebook page, Noraly is boarding the plane repatriating to Holland

I had seen one of those signs in an episode awhile ago. Didn't know it was so global.
BTW....Thanks for telling us about her. We're all caught up now, both seasons. She's much more than 'blue eyes'!!!
On a laptop, this is what I do
Open a browser window and navigate to YouTube
Click on your Subscriptions (if not already shown on the left)
Click Itchy Boots
Click Videos
On my laptop at least, this shows all her posts with the newest in the top left corner, going backwards in time as you move left to right top to bottom.
From Chrome on my tablet it is similar if I avoid the YT app
Open browser
Navigate to YouTube.com
My subscriptions are a row of small avatars across the top. I pick Itchy Boots.
Then I tap Videos.
Videos are sorted newest first.
Pick and play.
Using the YT app, the Subscriptions is a menu item across the bottom.
The key in any of these is to use the Videos thingy to get to her posted videos, once you have subscribed to her channel.

Yup - as I said above, you must always keep your paperwork in PERFECT order - or you are just asking for a hassle.

She did enjoy woman’s day only for shopping in Lima, most of all no cat calls!
It doesn't surprise me that she gets them but that something that I haven't see or heard her reference before. I'm guessing the Lima constabulary or whom ever is responsible for the men only/women only shopping days is trying to minimize co-mingling in public. TCB and get back inside. Noraly has an indomitably positive spirit. I'm also impressed she's a polyglot. But then maybe a lot of people in other countries and Europe etc. are.

Yes, much more than us.
She is a traveler....for work and/or fun. Can't let lack of communicating slow her down.
Anyone else have difficulty with her 'blog'? This is the first 'blog' (I hate the word) I've ever looked at. It doesn't seem too user friendly to find what she has recently had to say. At least for me.
Hope she made the plane.

You have to. Each European knows at least 3 languages as the neighboring country speaks a different one. Imagine if each state in the US would speak a different language. But it's also a good practice to learn (at least minimal) a language of the country you're going to. Goes long way.
Indeed. In the Netherlands, virtually everyone speaks at least English in addition to Dutch and many people also speak German and sometimes French too. Noraly speaks Spanish because she worked in South America as a geochemist before she took up full-time riding and travelling.
Frankly, outside of the US, the ability to speak more than one language is really not seen as a big deal. In most northern European countries, it is quite unusual to meet a person who does not speak English in addition to the their own language. If you ask a Dutchman, a Dane, a Norwegian or a Finn why they speak other languages, they will simply tell you that nobody else speaks their language and as trading nations, they simply must be able to converse - so they learn other languages.
I'm not sure about the other countries - but at one point in Norway, every graduate thesis in engineering was written entirely in English as they were seen as documents of strategic importance and needed to be published and read outside of the country.

Ms Schoenmaker doesn’t do a traditional blog with daily or weekly running posts. When you get to her home page click on any of the displayed images for articles (blog entries) below LATEST IN BIKERS GUIDE or MOTORCYCLE STORIES. OR... click on the chevron symbols above and to the right of images. The content is often compilations of what was given in blocks of the videos.
OR.... you can click on the links in the top menu bar. Motorcycle Stories gets you a page where you have access to the collections by three geographical areas: “Discover _____” Fifteen total stories (blog entries).
I’m pretty sure I have read every word and viewed every image and video.
Yeah, as I said before, I’m a fanboy, but in a grandfatherly way.

YES! So do I. It and all its permutations. I use 'web log' and besides liking it better I found an unintended benefit in it annoying some people, especially when I say 'web logging'.
Her's is one of the less intuitive web logs I've seen and many aren't easily searchable and that's really annoying.
So was this the origin of the stupid word?
I could go on and on about others and the dumbing down of our language.

ibike2havefun's Post # 327 guidance is working fine for me to get to her blogs. Thanks.
Not on Facebook, so . . . appreciate updates from others when info appears there first.
Shuey
PS:
Actually I got you to her videos. Glad that worked for you.
She has a separate website, which is what they are discussing now, as well as a Facebook site that I will never, ever visit.

Hmm... Dean was asking about her website where her written articles/posts/Blogs are (www.itchyboots.com). That’s what I responded to. If you subscribe on the website you will get a notification of new material added to the site. It’s been a little while since there was something new.
Noraly’s videos (aka Vlog) are on YouTube. If you subscribe to her channel and click the bell icon you’ll get text alerts of new videos.
Edit: I see Keith poSTed while I was composing. I too have not yet been assimilated by the FB Borg.
