Trip interruption insurance

As the morning mist lifts between the peaks of the Andes, the sun bathes the ancient Inca city of Maccu Picchu in a magical glow. It would be a magnificent view, if only this text message weren't on your screen: House broken into, jewellery gone, please come back asap, love Sabine.
