sudan and other worries
Hi everyone!
I am planning a motorbike travel from Madrid to Cape Town, starting early days of december. Our direct route starts in Spain, follows to Marseille and Tunisia by ferry, and then the following countries: Lybia, Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, Zimbawe and South Africa. I have a few Q, I would strongly appreciate some help!
1) Sudanese new embassy in Madrid assures me that there is no big deal with the touristic visa, but they believe it is almost impossible to get the permit for the motorbikes. Any suggestions? I do not see the way through center Africa without crosing to Ethiopia and Kenya through Sudan. Any alternative options, like ferries of any kind or air transport?
2) Algeria seems to have its border closed with Morroco. Anybody succesful on crosing that border? Any other option besides going to Marseille?
Thanks for the help!
Juan Pablo
