pair of twins head for the med

[Eyetee]

Departing from Essex late July...route is east by south east to north Italy then island hop to the Medaterainians West Bank

any advice, points of interest, hook ups, super savers, must takes, cant miss etc

[jvaughan]

Bit confused here... The Med doesnt have a west bank ... North Med is France, East Med is Israel, South Med is Africa, West Med is the Atlantic ocean :P

[Eyetee]

Good point sibling, the West med should read the Meds East Bank, Isreal and my biggest worry was that Medaterainian was spelt wrong, fortunatly we didn't pre book the ferry.

[jvaughan]

East Med ... That sounds like fun. are you doing Turkey to Egypt ?

[Eyetee]

At this point the journey once we get to the East Bank is undetermined I have however acquired Lonely Planet books for Jordan and Egypt. The options would be to continue either way round the Med.
My insurance covers me in all EU states and am hoping we can purchase further insurance when we get our visas at the various borders...

Unarmed and harmless
The one thing that is certain is that nothing is certain, what I mean is you can never be sure about anything, accept change.
Going to rely on old faithful, gut instinct and a sense of adventure.

[DaveS]

Well yep fair play. Just enjoy yourself.

[jvaughan]

Good luck if your thinking of passing between Palestine and Israel.

Remember to take a HUGE Union Jack with you and fly it from the bike to distinguish yoruself to the Israelie Fighter Jets.
