Olazz,

Check my quote - £595 for loading fees - + $1500 shipping, and then you need to clear it in SA as well - probably about the same as the UK handling fees again, so your one is cheaper if they included that!!

Andrew

Hmmm next question!!!
My wife fell pregnant unexpectedly so we have delayed the trans-africa trip for at least 18 months. We are still doing it, but it'll be with a rugrat now. Gotta take it when it's not too mobile - so I hear....

We are doing a consolation trip in May/June to Eastern Europe for about 5-6 weeks. Planning to venture into Bosnia/Serbia to check out some of their dodgy roads/tracks, and get our fix for 'travel to unusual places'. Not looking forward to the Serbian insurance sting - apparently about 250 euros for a month, and thats the shortest they do one for, and it's mandatory (obviously). Only us UK bods get stung by it though - typical...

I'll do a report when it's done - assuming there is anything interesting to report of course - if we don't find any decent tracks I won't bother - unless people want campsite info etc..

If anyone knows of good places in those countries - I'm all ears!!!


Cheers
Andrew
