DISASTER!

So this isn't a good day for me. Last night I got back to my car after a beer to find that it had been ransacked! My passports and gadgets have been stolen. Gadgets are replaceable but the passport is a bigger issue. I've contacted the UK embassy but I can't get hold of the US embassy until Tuesday due to it being Easter holiday on Monday.

Anyway, I'm taking stock of things. Have cancelled all credit cards and my cell phone. What a pain in the arse! Livid doesn't describe how I feel. I'm currently thinking of cancelling this trip and buying a ticket back to the states once my passport has been re-issued. Now it's time for paperwork.

What's annoying is that I've planned the next few days to do a hike of Abel Tassman NP. Fortunately I still have my backpack and a lot of my hiking gear.

... Will update later ...
