Cool name, I remember playing with those when I was a kid!

Anyway, trip is pretty much what we are currently doing, left beginning of July and enjoyed summer in Europe and have finally arrived in Athens. Charlie the landy was shipped this past Saturday to Alexandria, following much frustration in trying to arrange the shipping which I thought I had sorted back in Feb as had quotes etc and was going to be out of Istanbul, anycase long story and can explain some time if you would like. I have however used a company from Athens (Primeway) who have made this process really easy for me and were very helpful George Lianos is the name of the guy that helped me. Did alot of research into shipping and could not find any reliable ferry or shipping information back then and then again when I checked a few weeks ago prior to changing course to Athens anyway if you can't come right try these guys, very efficient!

As for travelling south and on to home sweet home, we planning on travelling around Egypt and into Jordan during November before crossing into Sudan late November early December. I believe it is easier to get a visa in Aswan than it is in Cairo but I guess that is a bot of wait and see.

Happy to share some info along route if you interested and hoping to be in CT by end of Feb early March. we also have a blog if you looking for some info as we head further south which might be relevant to your trip if you leave later charliesoverlandadventure.com

Drop me a line if you in Egypt around that time and maybe we can all take the ferry and travel for a while together, should make security a little safer.

If not safe travels
