Getting some "value for money" out of my travel insurance policy

There's nothing I like more than a bit of insurance... everyone knows that. Today I sent in my first and hopefully last claim form to my travel insurers (ACE, by the way given that Kevvo was smart enough not to give me a deal on the Allianz book). You may notice that there are no pictures in this blog entry. That's because my camera, my wallet, my ipod, my geek fleece and my very overpriced gortex jacket all got stolen. The incident can only really be compared to a dramatic reconstruction in an episode of '999'. In years to come I'm sure I will take great pride in retelling the Story of the time I got robbed at gun point in Patagonia but for now its a bit of a sore point. F*CK&NG ARGENTINIAN B@RSTRDS!!!!

Other than being a bit shaken up by the whole event I am fine. As I don't have a round-the-world ticket and I now have a bit of a complex about the dangers of South America I've decided to bosh some cash on some flights to Bangkok. I'll be arriving on Tuesday lots of beach bum, green curry eating, Chang drinking action. Sweeeeeeeet.

p.s. Hammond/Barney- go on, say it..... "I told you so"

Schnizz face I'm glad you made it to Bangers safe and sound....it wasn't just the wine talking by the way, I can't stop thinking about sacking in my job and coming to Indonesia for 6 weeks. BOOM! Stay in touch, stay safe and don't drink the red bull, it does horrendous things xxxx
