I found another hotel a bit closer to the port, this hotel didn't have cockroaches running around the bathroom though. I called one of the shipping agents, to enquire about the bike, he wanted me to go to his office.
A tuk tuk ride later i was there. The office was quite small, especially when all his men were there trying to sort things out. I was there for about 1 and a half hours. During that time at least 10 different people turned up, made a number of phone calls, shook my hand and left. There must have been at least 20 phone calls made to and from the office regarding my bike. The bloke said that the ship gets into port on Sunday the 25th of October and there was nothing we could do until Monday.
From the first office i got taken to another office to try and sort 'local' motorcycle insurance out. The same thing happened, small office, many people coming in and out, and many phone calls, but still no insurance. One of the guys reckoned that i needed to take it for a roadworthy test before anyone would insure it, i left on the promise that he would look into it further and then he would let me know. The third office was the Automobile Association (AA). These guys were very professional and i felt i could trust them. The AA man said i would not have to have a roadworthy test, all i needed to do was to take it to the AA's office where it could be seen be an insurance man before it could be insured. However, i can only take it there between 14.30 and 15.30.
