Of course Nic, it shouldn’t stop you – never, ever, just be a bit cautious.
p.s it was my first mugging ever. The world isn’t so bad 😉

The lost Images of Centro Historico are worth capturing and you have stunning shots of them. Oh somebody snatched your camera, that is very sad and it is really a big loss. Then also you managed to capture beautiful photos of Bogota.

Oh wow, that is crazy and is one thing I am concerned a little bit about travelling in this region, though it won’t stop me! I am so glad you got your camera back, I would be devastated.

In reply to Lara Dunning. Mirrorless camera is an option. I've been thinking about getting one for quite some time now. (even before the mugging). Perhaps the time has come now ;) Safe travels. Eva

That is amazing you got your camera back! Mine was stolen in Greece, from our car, not from me physically. I think being physically robbed would be much worse, as it more of a violation of your physical space and body. For insurance purposes you always want to file a report, so I’m glad you went to the police, as you would have needed that report for a claim. I really want to get a mirrorless camera for overseas travel since they are smaller and still take excellent photos. Saving up!
