The Links section is intended to provide hyperlinks to other sources of information which we have used in planning and preparing for this trip as well as during the trip. We hope it is as useful or you as it was / is for us...
Cargo / Freight Ships
The first part of our trip will be from Southampton, UK to Buenos Aries, Argentina via Bilbao, Spain; Rio de Janerio and Santos, Brazil by cargo ship. This was organised through Strand Voyages. A quick search returned the following link: Cargo Info - Africa.
Communication
- Email: Hot Mail, which can be collected from any browser... at least we hope so.
- Totally Free Stuff - Email
- Foreign Phrases
Embassies
When we've been trying to find information about the visa requirements for our trip we've tended to use the phone to contact the embassies directly. I used Scoot to get the numbers, however a couple of embassies prefer you to use their website to find the information, can you guess which ones...
Or you could try Scoot, try searching on embassy and w1Guides
