we will take it in Octobre. let's hope the ferry is still running. Motorbike and passenger should be around 225 US dollars, thats the latest information from my collegue who lives in turkey.

Hi TwoTwins, check our planned route on home - findingrichard - the motorbike adventure from Zurich to Cape Town! at the moment we have no plan about that ferry. so we might change the route and go trough lybia. do you go with bikes? we maybe can meet up and use the same fixers in lybia. just contact us if you have usefull information or if we can help each other.

Hi, we will ride to Capetown on......... Two African Twins. :-)
I just took a look at your website (looks great) and saw you guys are starting the journey in the beginning of october.
Our plan is to start our trip on monday october 13th. We will travel in three days to Genoa where we will take the ferry to Tunis.
Plans are to arrive in Tunis on thursday evening the 16th. We hope to be in Libya the week after.
We're having email contact with Tidwa tours. They arrange our visas for Libya and a guide for the greatest part of the trip through Libya.
What is your exact date to start the journey?

we start 1st of octobre. due to the actions going on in lybia (check the news today) it seems not to be an option.

thank you for the compliment on our webpage.

Hi Folks,
We have also planned to do this trip in October, also through Tunisia and Libya but as Ruulio says it's up in the air and we're now thinking of going via Turkey. saying that we're keeping our options open although the BBC shows Libya in turmoil!

Libya may not be a good plan for now, but things change rapidly so it may be better in octobre. Some friends are leaving the netherlands at the end of august and they are planning to take a ferry (or a cargo ship) from Greece to Egypt. I hope to hear from them soon and will keep you informed.

Hey all,

We are leaving on september 7 but we are driving in a landrover defender. We are still thinking about goiing to tunis-libya-egypt.

Is anyone thinking about the same route in the period oct-november.

Well i have to say that Libya is currently not an option for us. Maybe the safety issue will be better in two months but we are not getting our hopes up. We are taking a freighter from salerno to Israël. We are leaving begin octobre.

We're planning on that route in October but as Twotwins says it seems not an option at the moment and as the ferry from Turkey to Egypt is not running we're thinking of changing plans and shipping to SA and doing the route backwards.

dippy... where did you find out that the ferry to Turkey is not running. Reading back up this thread i can't see anything.

preferred option (assuming Libya/Tunisia is out) will be this ferry, failing that the ferry from Israel to Italy.

getting some planning done while the car ships to Durban...

@Womble, here is the story about the suspended ferry:

We decided to change our plans and start our journey in Cape Town and travel north back to Europe (in stead of travelling south). Leaving Cape Town with our Landcruiser the 12th of september.
