air freight a bike to Egypt?
Is this crazy? It seems there is NO WAY to start a trip to east africa now besides a dodgy boat service from Turkey to Eqypt. My plans of tunisia-Libya-Egypt and south seems to be withering with the Libya issue. I called the Italian consulate in Milan and the conversation was something like:" "er hello? YZES, er, is the this the Lybian consulate? Ah, maybe, who wants to know? Do you have tourists visas available to US nationals? Ah, no. Maybe later....click.."
I live/work in italy but will be moving back to the states this fall unless i can solve this problem and do this trip of dreams at the end of my work.
So why not fly a GS bike from Rome to Cairo on Egypt Air or AirItalia? less than 4 hours direct. how comes no one does that? I can at least prep the bike from my home and not in some far away land (like i plan to do from CapeTown if I ever get there..)
