Comments: 

"I was quoted a lot more than I paid for my bike and I for the journey across the gulf on the ferry. From memory the first quote was over 150us for both bike and I, but after a bit of bartering the price was about half that. Little was known about the ferry and if it was just for passengers but latter found out it was for freight too. A roll on roll of type. The shipping company could not do any of the export paperwork but got a local man to help with the assistance of his much needed truck, as there were lots of visits to and from various unnamed offices of which local knowledge was needed, but cost me very little, but did take ten hours to get the bike through customs!

The journey was overnight and we were given all meals, satellite T.V and a blanket to make our sleep in the lounge as comfortable as possable. The crossing was very smooth. Journey time approx eight hours."
