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

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.
