???I am in Aswan, Egypt tonight and heading north along the Nile to the end of my Capetown to Cairo ride up the eastern side of Africa - in a week or maybe two. When I get to the top of Africa, I can't ride west into Libya and I can't ride east into Syria. The ferry that used to run from Alexandria to Italy isn't running anymore - as of a couple of weeks ago. The ferry that used to run from Israel to Greece isn't anymore - suspended until further notice. Flying my bike from Cairo International to to the northern side of the Mediterranean is too expensive.

There seems to be no other option but to put my bike in a crate and ship it somewhere on a cargo vessel while I fly there and wait God knows how long for it to show up, only to be raped by stevedores and port authorities getting it off the boat and back under me.

Anyone know of a viable solution - in the next couple of weeks?

Thanks, Tom
