We're in a much worse of position me thinks... we set off from the UK in 2 weeks time for South Africa via the mid east. If you have a look at the UK emabsy in Syria it says that the borders are closed. BUT if you read carefully it says the roads are blocked... so does that mean it's closed because you can't get to the border via the motorway or is the borderpost itself closed. Not very clear in their statement. The only other way to get to East Afrika is to catch a ferry from Egypt (again) but just rang the ferry line in Italy 20min ago and they told me it doesn't run at the moment but to call bavk next week as things might change.
Acutally there is another way, and that is through Iran and then Saudi... don't know much of these countries at the mo but it seems I might have to learn quickly!
Good luck to all.
