No, we did not buy a time share (Sherry). We are currently at the northeast corner of Australia in a place called Cape Tribulation. As we were driving home from a day at the reef yesterday we had a flat tire. (more to come on the reef in a later blog). Luckily, James' farm upbringing came in handy and he whipped the tire off, put the spare on and had us on our way in 5 minutes (literally). We had to get the tire fixed today. As part the the deal here when you "hire a car" (Aussie way of saying rent a car) is that you have to fix the flat if you didn't purchase extra insurance (we didn't). So we found a tire shop (spelled tyre here) and they told us that they couldn't fix it...so we had to buy a new tire. Thus, we are now proud owners of Australian property.
We will catch up on the last couple of days in another blog and upload pics, hopefully tomorrow from Darwin. Internet is not so great up here. We are in a remote place...in fact, our hotel room tonight has a completely outdoor bathroom/shower. It's crazy, but pretty cool.
I had doubts about the farm upbringing but, yeah, occasionally he flashes bonafide farming credentials. He knows intricate details about some processes that.. you really don't want know. :)
