Hi, I am in Nairobi at present having come the Turkey,Syria,Jordan,Egypt,Sudan,Ethiopia route, visas enroute are no problem, I am travelling by BMW R80G/S and on a UK passport, it may be worth carrying spare tyres as the ethiopian roads eat tyres and replacements in Kenya are costly, pair of Pirelli MT 21's are about 200 pounds Sterling

Hi Geoff. I'm about 10 days from Tunis. How did your visas for Libya and Egypt go? Also, is it a different carnet de passage for Egypt? Hope to see you in Tunis. Laters, Nick.

..and about seven dayd ahead of me.

I will be picking up my passport from the agency which organised my Libyan visa on Friday and will then get my Egyptian and French visas early in the following week.

see you in Africa!
