Larry and I had to appear in court today!! All fine, no fines and we were issued with a clearance but the only problem is we leave 3 days after the clearance so just hope they will accept it otherwise we don’t get out of Egypt. We were told to go to the main police station and when we got there we found that it had been burnt down during the recent revolution!! A very kind gentleman came up to us and told us we need to go to another police station, did we know where this place and the next place was….. No so he offered to get a taxi for us, please following me, which we did and he walked out into the middle of four lanes of traffic and stopped a taxi in the middle of the road and told him where to take us and we still have no idea where it is but managed to get some of the paper work done!!
Just about no tourists in Alex and restaurants all empty. While we were shopping for air tickets to get home there is a travel warning for Egypt on most of the sites we visited. We heard that some protestors had damaged the railway line between Luxor and Cairo so unrest has not finished here yet. Prices to ship our bikes home seems to be about GBP600 and a one way ticket home costs about the same as a return ticket, about R6000 each!
