What is the most important thing a traveler could lose?? Camera? Phone? Undies?!? No! It’s worst!! Try the passport!!!!!!!11111oneone 
Yep I lost my passport and am stuck in the UK for at least 4-14 weeks. Of all the time to lose my passport, I lose it during the summer season in Europe. Sigh…
How did I lose it? Well, lets add a bit of alcohol then a little bit more then a LOT more….. It was a workmates leaving drinks so we decided to hit the town for a few brewskis and whatever trace of alcohol we could get. Little did I know that I actually had my passport in my jacket pocket. I guess I forgot to unpack it when I came back from Majorca. Got home that night at 4am so all I did was undress then hit the bed - passport still in my jacket pocket. Anyway, yea discovered this when we finished dinner so I figured it’ll be safer in the jacket pocket as people might pick my pants pocket or steal my bag. I only realized the passport was lost when I came out of the bar holding my jacket upside down! DOH! Searched the bar high and low but still nothing and same thing the following day when I was retracing the steps I did through all the bars I went to that night.
Since the search didn’t work I decided to head to the Aussie High Commission to report it lost and maybe if some kind fellow returned it, the high commission would be the one to get it. So I went there to purely register that I’ve lost my passport and to provide my contact details. What did High Commission decide to do??? Cancel my bloody passport!!! AARRGGGGHHH!!!! Couldn’t they wait a few days for it to be turned in?? My working visa is in there you bastards!!!
So this is where I am now… Reapplied for a new passport (and £236 poorer) and was fined (sorry it’s a fee) for a LOST passport?! Yes, you get a fee for losing a passport… and now my new passport is stuck in the abyss we call the Home Office. This is the place which takes 4-14 weeks to process a form that says, “I lost my passport, can you transfer my visa to this one please?”. OK, yes it says more than that but seriously it’s only a few tick boxes, address details and all the documents to prove that I have the right to work here. For it to take 4-14 weeks? That’s just ridiculous!
I hope I can get my passport back soon cos in 7 weeks I’m going to Croatia to which I already paid £750 already!!! AARRRRggGGHHHH!!!
