Pakistan Updates?
Hi Joe and all..
havent seen any new for a while. We are in north Thailand now and head to Nepal and India in 3 weeks. After 5 weeks there, we are off through Pakistan and Iran. Situation in PK getting worse ad sounding more like Iraq every day. 22 dead in suicide blast in Lahore a few hours ago.
As a backup, does anyone have any guidance on sea shipping from Bombay to Oman or UAE? Maybe look to ferr o southern Iran from there.
Cheers,
Robb

I investigated shipping from Bombay to Bandar Abbas (Iran) in August last year. It is possible but you can't go with the bike.
Options are Fly to Tehran and then take the 30 hr train journey back to Bandar or... fly to Dubai and get the ferry from there to Iran (near Bandar)... thats the cheapest option of the 2.
If you want agents contact details, let me know.
John

Here's a view, some explanation and comment on the recent event in PK that you mention:-

You might conclude that this will settle down in about 1 month; until the next time.
