Back on Bonaire

We spent our first week back on Bonaire doing house repairs, laundry and getting things back in order to make our house ours again. 

At the end of the week, we treated ourselves to lunch at one of our favorite Italian (pizza) restaurants.  When we returned to our car we had a flat tire.  Rick dragged out all the equipment to change the tire.  We (I mean Rick) got to the lug nuts and couldn't turn them, much to his dismay. I don't think the Hulk could have turned them. 

 

Bonaire has a 24/7 mobile car service...so I called them.  It took 10 minutes for them to come to our rescue.  I immediately put their number in my phone for future use.

They had everything they needed in the van to service your car.  The repairman used an air jack to lift the car and his air wrench to take the lug nuts off.  He repaired the tire.  It was a hole in the sidewall, which he says is very common on the island. It took him no more than 10 minutes to do the repair and put the tire back on the car. It cost $37 which we thought was a bargain.

It was a hard week for us.  We had major jet lag and had to get the house back in order.  We made lots of stops at the appliance/electronics store, hardware store,  grocery store and car mechanic

(for our beach car)  Rick has been busy with one project after another. So, it was really great to have a repairman show up so quick, do a fast job, and charge a reasonable fee. 

Gotta love Bonaire and the mobile car repair service💓
