A couple of months ago I drove a French tourist to the hospital. His wife broke her leg in two places at Freedom Beach.

 

I didn't realise it was headline news or I'd have been selling the story to the press!

Hope they enjoyed the first 3 days

But indeed, it seems we are scraping bottom here. And he's not even Chinese!
