From the incredible Baobab trees, breathtaking drone scenery, the town of Fadiouth, the islands of shells, the local people, to Noraly's uncanny ability to explain things and hold our attention, this was another amazing educational and entertaining episode. I can probably speak for others and say when Noraly is happy, we are happy, and she looked genuinely happy in this video. I have said it before but what we are blessed to be witnessing will never be duplicated. This amazing woman is truly a Godsend. Thank you Noraly. Peace, ❤❤❤

An island that was basically made by its inhabitants must feel quite a bit like home to the Nerderlandse you. 😊 The shells would mainly trap silt and form the soil that is the actual fundament of the island, so the process must really be similar to how land was gained from the North Sea. A fascinating place indeed! I enjoyed this one a lot! 🤗😍 …and the 20 minutes of being in sync with the fellow Itchy Booters are over again. 🥴 See you all on Wednesday! 🤗

@jwenting

quite different really. The shells are dumped on an existing sand bar probably, what allows the trees to grow and gives the whole place structure. The place is above sea level, but barely. No pumping needed though probably need to constantly bring in new material to counter erosion. In the Netherlands the polders are created by building a sea wall around an area, then pumping out the water. That pumping never ends, if the pumps were to fall silent for extended periods the place floods.

Our Noraly exudes a friendly confidence everywhere she goes and its noticed instantly by anyone she meets. I gave up worrying about her when she cruised through Central America. (Her incredible ability with languages is the key...) The drone shots just get better and more compelling to watch. It's surprising how dramatic they can be. To see Noraly off in the distance as a little speck and the entire landscape around her, is a knock-out punch every time. I learn so much about the local cultures she goes through it's better than a college lecture. And she puts us right there, too. Up close and personal.

I find cemeteries interesting. Some are well-cared for and beautiful, while some are abandoned and depressing. But a random stroll through one can reveal the local history and cultural artifacts of the region.

Trust noraly, she ALWAYS bring us to places so special and unique, this time it’s island made of shells. Never heard of this island. As I’ve said SHE HAS IT ALL.! Also bringing cheer to people she meet. Better than Nat Geo. Thank you so much

Very interesting these shell islands, really special. And when I saw the police biker passing by you, I thought he was going to stop you for speeding! 😂👍🏻🇧🇪

How special is that....to find a place where you can say it does not matter what your religion is, that all belief systems are welcome......extraordinary!!!! Many thanks Noraly for showing us these special places and cultures !!!!

Noraly is proof….Nice people attract nice people! So special and awesome! Stay safe Noraly!

The colors, textures, and variety of buildings on that first island are intriguing. I think a photographer could lose him or herself there for days on end, catching the changes in light, color and contrast. Wonderful video!

One of the aspects that amazes me the most on your trips, Noraly, is your hability and luck to find gentle people wherever you go and north of Africa has not being different. What cool people you had met! May that luck continue with you. Best regards from Brazil. ✌

These two islands remind me of Montenegro Bay of Kotor, where there's an island in the middle of the bay built by the people using rocks. It's smaller than this island and also has a church on it. It's pretty cool to see that this is a global way of people expanding the living space near the coast. Using shells is pretty amazing and I can't even comprehend how you start with this idea given that people started this a long time ago. There are many cemeteries in my home country of Bosnia and Herzegovina with mixed religions buried in the same cemetery. Thanks for the great content Noraly, this is so much more down to earth with actual people and it's in ways more informative than the documentaries I've seen about African countries.

I love the way you talk to the animals Noraly. They seem to understand. That was the quietist episode you've ever done. Love it. Peace

Dirt roads are not wild enough anymore. Noraly is looking for cow trails to make it even more fun. Thank you for the beautiful sceneries among those impressive baobabs and your visit on those islands meeting with ever smiling people such as Jacques and Jule. Our Dutch, English, Spanish speaking explorer should eventually be adding French as the next feather to her hat.

I was stunned to see this place. My postdoc during the past 2.5 years, was part of a greater EU research project that aimed to create and commercialise sustainable concrete, where seashells are used as the aggregate. I think that we have some lessons to learn from these people :)
