The following is what we recommend you do to avoid 'rip offs'. 1. Leave ferry terminal - Walk or catch a rickshaw to the main customs office/bldg (approx 4-500 mtrs). Through archways to main road, turn left and it's on the right hand side. 2. Advise customs officals what is happening. E.T.A. of bike, company name and contact number and accomodation requirements. We stayed at the Hotel Srikandi for 70,000 Rs. There are cheaper but they were full. Don't stay at the Royal Hotel unless you have lots of money. Customs have a driver and a 4 x 4 and will probably drive you everywhere for no charge. They are extremely helpful. Be prepared to pay if this is not possible. There are touts everywhere trying to rip you off including the shipping agent. customs will drive you to cargo dock to collect the bike. 8 pm for us. 4. Collect bike after ten lads lift bike off boat and demand 100,000 Rs (approx US$10) You can negotiate. 5. Ride back to customs and process carnet. We could not as too late. Left bike at customs and driver took us back to hotel.

26 April 2001 6. 8.am to 11.30 am Customs picked us up, carnet was processed. They drive us to the police station to arrange permit for the bike. All done, no charges, very helpful. You need a rough itinerary for police permit. 7. Police permit requires you to check into police stations each overnight stay. We are doing this but most police do not understand proceedures. All are very friendly and helpful. Good luck and enjoy. Important: For more information on what World Nomad's policies cover, read this Prices & Benefits page for residents of various countries.
