Ferry Contact
Hi,

My email contact (in English) was; sunshineinkorea {{AATT}} yahoo [[DoT]] com a Olga Karpova.

No hesitations, no hick ups and no problems though they did let Clyde buy a ticket despite my emails and phone calls in protest! ;-)

Clyde got hit for additional charges but it is a good trip.

Got meself a Dailim bike waiting in Yangpyeyong curt icy of SeoulJoe so as long as we don't drown we will get to cause havoc in the hinterlands of Korea!

Try uploading the photos to another service such as flickr and then click the icon and paste the URL there. The photos will display in the post then.

Going back to the original topic of the message I received the following advice yesterday:

Unfortunately, the space for passenger is not available....
(There is no space for Jul.& Aug, it is already full....)
DBS informed me to wait until tomorrow.

This was for shipping a bike plus 1 person from Korea to Vladivostok on July 24th sailing. I'm hoping they will find room for me between now and then. I had mistakenly assummed there would be no problems with getting on this ferry - so if you are doing the same I suggest you make enquiries sooner than later. Good luck.

Hi Clyde

We are STILL in Vlad. There is a problem with the crane at the berthing pier for our ship so our container is sat on the vessel in the harbour. Looks like the crane has now been fixed but there is now a problem with the vessel that they are unloading at the moment so further delays. We have an ETA for the bikes dockside of 1st July then we can get documents a few days later and thenm customs. To be on the safe side we booked another 9 nights here at Hotel Vladivostok - that was touch and go too as there is an international badnington competition here this weekend and hotels are pretty much full. So apart from being Bikeless in Valdivostok we were also nearly Homeless in Vladivostok - I feel a movie coming on.......

But with all these things, and especially travel in Russia, patience is the key.

Hope you are enjoying Korea

Martin

Donghae to Vlad
I am coming to Korea from Vancouver at the end of April, I was wondering about availability of the ferry and booking in advance to secure a place.

I may have been misread but am I able to take my bike with me on the ferry or does it get shipped separately?

Thanks guys

I went the other way, Vladivadstok to South Korea.

I used Yuri... and the bike was loaded the evening before by the customs people.
at the Korean side they just asked me to ride my bike of the boat.

Have you tried emailing Wendy in South Korea ?

Try via their website?
There is even an e-mail address listed.
You might need to contact them directly about your bike.
I think is is the passenger part that gets filled up though.

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.
