Hi all,
A short update. Freighting to Egypt was indeed too much hassle and expense. Despite help from some who live there (thanks guys) it was apparent that freighting to Egypt was going to be a nightmare for a 'virgin' freighter. I looked into nearby alternatives but they weren't much better.
Fortunately, my travel plans were flexible so we're now doing a round-trip from the uk. I hate to do the same road twice but i think it's the easiest way. We'll pick different routes each way anyway. Maybe next-time i'll be a little smarter, a little wiser, and more prepared for things in general!
The bike arrives in the uk early July, I reckon it will be a 6 month trip, see you soon!
Steve
