Carnet from South Africa and Not Returning
I am starting a trip in S. Africa in January 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 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, I will be cross-posting this same question in another area -- is it possible to ride 'all the way' with any current routes? If not, can I ship (perhaps from Djibouti) into Europe, Egypt, Israel, or Jordan? I know that things change often -- I am looking for the best up-to-date information. I can help anyone here with questions about Baja Mexico -- as I live on the border! Thanks in advance!!!! chris@planetearthquest.com.
