Aside from potentially getting the licence plate of the bike, I think you'd be rest assured that there isn't much that you can do about it at the time. There is a mild risk when confronting someone in a foreign county; especially over something as simple as property. Fortunately, like you, I've only had 1 attempted mugging in Rio de Janeiro after some 67 countries visited. I find, the best practice, is to not take anything you're not prepared to lose. An irritating circumstance for sure.

Yes, our travel luck finally ran out I guess. The South African expats were equally shocked that it happened and the Police were very professional and polite as well.

A320? The fuselage looks more like B747 since in the front there is the second row of windows, although then there is just two engines... Is there even 747 written on the top of the tail...

Yes, maybe a Boeing-Airbus Hybrid:D.

I'm always sceptical with bags and when I use some I mostly secure it at my body. Some people think I'm too careful but such stories show I'm not that wrong. It's sad with such riff raff.

Many congrats to you both DanielW- I can't wait to see your trip reports with a mini in tow!

Did you fly the drone out to Coin de Mire?

Yes, we can get a bit complacent living in Dubai, so it was a bit of a reality check unfortunately.

Many thanks, mentor of monty, I have actually just booked our first family vacation:). The drone has a range of 8 kilometers so is good for going to places which are not so accessible.

Excellent report once again - I esp love the drone pics that shows the entire hotel complexes. It gives you a good impression of the grounds and adjacent to it, that the hotel will never share online.

Thank you, sl00001:). Yes, the aerial shots really helps give the overall perspective.

Economy class travel on Emirates notwithstanding, this was yet another totally first class journey to the far flung corners of the planet. Another DW Masterpiece! ^^

Our double sea view room including half-board was $386 for our night night stay.

Nice report as usual with outstanding photos! But is it really a sea view room? :)

Let's just say that was what was advertised:D.

Awesome drone shots.. I was on MU about the same time, but rather on the west coast (mainly Flic-en-Flac)
