Good stuff, thanks Yoni!

Did the bikers go on the boat with their bikes, or did they have to go another way?

Ciao,

They went by air to save time. At Rosenfeld they told me ship can carry passengers too.

We are leaving within the next 2 weeks, I hope. But, we are going North.

Somehow during this discussion people seem to have assumed we'd be going to Israel any time soon. This is not the case. If we did, the rest of our trip (through Syria, Turkey, Iran and further East would no longer be possible.

I was merely asking questions trying to get info for other travellers who want to go. "Ferries to Israel" is a FAQ here...

Thanks to all for your contributions. I'm sure some travellers will make good use of it.

See you in Ripley!
