Transmedditerrania ferry

CIHB55
I looked up Transmedditerrania ferry but couldn't get a cost. Can you tell me how much you paid for your tickets. I'm thinking of going in September and I'm looking into my options. Sorry for hijacking the thread!

Try Trasmediterranea (Transmed) - Book Trasmediterranea (Transmed) with A Ferry . to

I'm thinking of that route in late September and the one-way price including bike and single use of two-berth cabin is £106.52.

It should be comfortably warm in October in lower lying cities such as Fes, Marrakech and Ouarzazate. Mountains will be cooler, with more chance of rain.

This shows average max temperatures for Marrakech: weather.co.uk - Climate Statistics - Marrakech, Morocco

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
