Cape Town to Europe -- Advice Needed
I have cross posted this in the "paperwork" area regarding the Carnet. I also need help with routing.
I am starting a trip in S. Africa in January 2017 and will buy a bike there and ride to Europe -- and will not be returning to S. Africa with the bike. I am welcome to all ideas and input! I believe that if I buy the bike, most areas along the east coast do not require a carnet (with the exception of Kenya and Egypt -- and they allow a temporary import permit). Is it possible to get the carnet in South Africa and not return with the bike (cancel it, sell the bike, etc.)? Where is the best/cheapest/easiest place to buy the carnet?
Also, can I presently pass through Sudan? Challenges? Any advice is helpful. I want to take about 4-5 months until I reach Europe. I am open to routing suggestions if you found places and riding spectacular.
Is it possible to take a car ferry to Jordan or Israel from Egypt?
I appreciate everyone's help in advance! chris@planetearthquest.com.
