Interesting. Hopefully it's temporary. I haven't seen anything about
it on the internet. If it affects my August trip, I'm sure some info
will surface before then and I'll make an attempt to invoke my trip
insurance to cancel the trip for a full refund. As far as I'm
concerned, Wolf & Darwin are the primary destination.
