Bad day in Africa!

Well I had a bad day in Cape Town, South Africa today.
It started with a flat tire, and ended with my D300 + MB-D10, 18-200
VRII, Black Rapid strap, Promote GPS, 2 x 8GB, and one 16GB CF cards
being stolen.

I have until December 21 on this trip. At least I still have my G11 to
fall back on.

Sorry for your loss.

I'm really sorry to hear that - but perhaps it will be an excuse to return
another time? Hope you had insurance and that you reported it to the
police.

Chin up!

A real downer. Try to enjoy the rest of the trip.

Hope it was all insured and that you had backups of the CF.

Crap! Sorry to hear that. Real bummer.

Will insurance cover any of that? Mine will cover most, not all.

I feel bad for you. I hope the rest of the trip goes MUCH better.
By the way, did you see the police about it and did they give you some sort
of document attestting that these aricles were stolen?
Something like that happened to me in Spain. The police document helped
considerably with the insurance company here.
Take care,
Marcel
