We've had a BIG day.
I started packing the bikes at 8, Mark arrived at 10:30 and we finished at 4:00. Anyway they are all crated, in the truck and now on the way to Justin in Johannesburg.
It was enough work doing this in the factory but the thought of packing up in Egypt is difficult. I'm very happy we're doing the trip this was around.
Putting everything together again could be a challenge. Mark gets "Bolt phobia".Everytime he sees another bolt getting undone he starts to sweat. He's convinced we won't re-assemble everything.

From here it's a test of patience with customs in Cairo. The shipping agent says 2 days to clear, we've allowed 3 and some others groups have had 6 days! We'll let you know. It's a very tedious process. You have to get the bikes re-registered under Egyptian number plates and put up with unbelievable officialdom.
We've got to be at Aswan for the ferry to the Sudan on Saturday 7 June. If we miss that date it's a week wait for the next time.
