Comments: 

The passenger ferries only run from Limassol
to Egypt,The Greek Islands & Israel
from April,so we had to take a freighter.
Expensive.......but we could'nt afford the wait!!
Immagration was no problem,paid the 11Cyp.pound
port tax then went to see Head of Customs..
Nice chat with him for 5 min."Hope you had a
pleasant stay in Cyprus,please come again"!
Down to the freighter to embark,one more Customs
man wanted to know everything and see paperwork...
..."you have problem,illegally entered the country"
(Through occupied territory)Says he!!But one phone call to "Head"...
"Ok,sorry for the miss-understanding"..Bon voyage

On the freighter,i lashed the bike my-self.
The crossing took 13 hours,food wasnt that special,
even the crew left it!!
Docked in Haifa 07.00...waited two hours for security police,then immigration's 1000questions,then 500more
of the SAME questions!!
Rode off at noon,to yet another inspection,no problem
5min.later and customs.As friendly as they come!!
Half an hour later,temporary import document in hand..... Israel.
