Hi Christian

I am in the process of getting my bike back to England.
I am using Sandra at Dakar who in turn ships bikes with British Airways. It seems it is going to cost up to US$2,000.

Prices have certainly risen since I arrived in BsAs back in January.

You are in for a great few months.

If you need anything just ask

cheers
Delb

Sounds like a date!

Where will you be staying when you arrive and are you shipping a bike in at the same time?

Let me know if there is anything I can do prior to your arrival

Cheers

Yes still here but I haven't been 30 for some years - still thirsty though!

I don't know about accom near airport (it is quite a way out of town) but I can make some enquiries - are you waiting for your bike to arrive?

How long are you in town for? Happy to show you around the bits I know.
