I'll leave probably November and still hope Syria will be doable. If it changes for the worse. (which is a good chance) I might take this ferry too. But its an expensive trip this way, the ferry cost 448GBP, Venice to Alexandria.

I am actually starting to wonder what the attraction of going south is ?
I also wanted to go south, down to Cape Town.
But now the whole of Africa seems to be heading for self destruction.
Even looking at the situation in Sudan, makes me wonder just when its all going to kick off beteween north and south.
Some body just seemed to press the red button, and now all the tin pot nations there just want to uprise and revolt.

Instead of heading to the unstable south, I will head east, heading for Mongolia, with a thought about entering China.

Harry, good tip with the ferry to Cyprus. I will probably do the same if Syria will get worse.
Lorry, are you still ready to meet on Saturday?

I would enjoy company on my trip.

Cheers

Hi guys
I just found out that the ferry from Venice to Alexandria does not transport any tourists anymore for unlimited time, due to the political situation in Syria.

Does anybody know an alternative? Maybe a ferry from Greece to Egypt?

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive.
