Hi all,
Myself and a friend are at the beggining of planning a rtw trip, we are short on info. I have looked all over the site but would like some answers to a few questions. we are due to set off around November in 2007 the route is the east coast of Africa to south Africa across to Austrailia ( hopefully by boat, anyone who has travelled with their bike by these means please let me know how you got on) New Zealand by sea or air. fly the bikes to Buenos Aires then travel south to the tip and then back up the west coast to Quito then fly the bikes to Panama from there through the States to Canada and fly the bikes back to the Uk.

My questions are;
1. Getting to Egypt is there a ferry from Greece or Turkey? If not, is it possible to travel via Syria, Lebanon, Isreal ect? I know Grant suggests that Egypt is a total nightmare to register the bikes ect but I would really like to visit here has anyone covered this route recently?

2. Visa'a is it possible to sort entry visa's at each boarder crossing or do you have to get these before we leave the Uk?

3. If visa's need to be sorted before we leave the Uk are there companies that will source multi country visa's?

If anyone has covered all or part of this route, please get in touch with your experience's and if anyone would like to meet in Somerset or close by to offer advice and tips, I will promise a free lunch and a couple of s at a fine Somerset pub.
Thanks in advance

Steve
