So after waiting for what seemed like an eternity, this pas weekend we were able to explore what Australia has properly with our new mode of transport. :elkgrin:
During the week we packed the camping gear up, prepared a rough menu, got the clothing sorted and poured over maps for the longest time. Funny thing is after waiting for so long and wanting to go, we had not yet settled on our first destination. Enter dilema number one: now that we have our own wheels the options in this part of Australia are near endless. Do we go bush or do we go beach? This means we had to make a decision about where we wanted to go. Enter dilema two: we had no means of re-inflating should we be in a situation where lower tire pressures were required. This weighed heavily on my mind untill Thursday when I though to my self: "What's the worse that could happen? If we need to deflate, we can. Just means we have to slow down untill we find an air source or offer someone with a proper compressor a cold one in exchange for some air." So we could have stayed at home and waited for another opportunity to go our and explore, exactly what we have been wanting to do since we've moved here, or go out and be cautious with our wanderings. So we threw caution to the wind and went out! :sombrero:
A word of caution, we don't advocate being unprepared!
Does this look like a happy 80 Series owner or what?
Stay tuned...
