YES! the tyres held out ...JUST, and we spent the first day back on The Coast having six new tyres fitted on the rig. I told Skin that we would have to make our own fun for the next week and enjoy ourselves without spending ANY MORE MONEY.
Sooooooo................
Today we strolled to Mermaid Beach and Skin spied an adventurous
surfer steering his board skilfully through the waves.
Immediately Skin wanted to have a go, but ended up in exactly the same position as the surfer.
( AND HE WASN'T EVEN IN THE WATER!)
Deciding surfing was not for him, he wandered off along the beach and met two little children Damian and Jessica who buried him up to his neck in the sand.
He was so pleased to find his legs again that he ran off towards the water and hurled himself onto the front of an IRB. ( INFLATABLE RUBBER BOAT).
A courageous lifesaver, Grant from the Mermaid beach Lifesaving Club thought Skin was in distress and gave him the 'KISS OF LIFE".
Skin was obviously in shock and lay catching his breath in the sand for three minutes.
Finally he realized that Grant was only doing his job and they had a laugh about it together.
To top off yet another exciting day on the Coast, Skin sat on top of a tempting sandcastle and then......
remembering his HORRIFIC SUNBURN EXPERIENCE of the previous week, sensibly decided it was time to leave the beach before it happened again!
How would Skin spend a whole week without spending any money on the GOLD COAST?

Perhaps skin could go to school, that wouldn't cost much money.Or perhaps he could go to work and earn some money.Alex suggested he could go fishing and live of the fish or you could become buskers.
