Whats the difference between your originals and ones you could print?
UK insurance policies are often emailed, so thats what you get. Ask for them to post a copy they're the same. No watermarks or anything else. Copy away

This is the "green card" for European insurance. I suspect the European police will be stopping me because of the "odd" plates (Sierra Leone) and falsified documents won't be treated lightly.

I thought you had the documents sent to you by courier (DHL) at your guest house.

The only possible way that (dutch) embassies will be of any assistance is if you require a new passport.
Questions regarding anything else will be met with a haughty, nasty, and down-the-nose stare, after which they will consent to explain to you - at length and nauseam - that the purpose of an embassy abroad is to promote Dutch business abroad, hobnob with the expats, other embassies and members of the oldboy network, and certainly not to talk to, much less entertain dusty travelers who are clearly penniless (otherwise you'd've dressed better).
If you require letters of introduction, statements or anything that will pretty much entail them typing for a bit and applying an old-looking stamp on faux-papyrus, they might eventually find the time, but will charge ridiculous amounts of money for said service...
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for embassies. I mean, even  need jobs, and they can do less damage far away from home...

It's an embassy, not a PO Box.
I think you have unrealistic expectations of your country's diplomatic service and don't really understand it.
You clearly expect special treatment 'cos you spent two years working in some shithole for an NGO. A tough lesson in life, but a necessary one - no-one cares.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
