Cape Town to Sing

Hi Frank,

I have found out tht you do require an agent. SQ or SAA won't do it alone. I hav one agent that want $3k US to send it but am waiting on another quote tomorrow. Lets see? BTW, do you know of any biker friendly accom herein CT or the area?

Cheers
Ivan

Who says? I got a quote from SAA once .. you will need a Dangerous Goods Decleration ..
Qantas also fly there .. but they'd be to Bangkok? .. Thai Air as well?

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.
