A SHOCK AT SIDEWALK CANTINA

Today we had lunch with Ray and Jan at a charming little cafe called, 'Sidewalk Cantina' in Airlie Beach.

Skin was looking at the menu when all of a sudden he looked up and his eyes nearly popped out of his head.

Two parrots were helping themselves to someone's food at the table

nearby.

Skin went over and sat down and gave them a little talk on manners, honesty and theft.

 

I THINK HE IS TURNING OVER A NEW LEAF AND BECOMING QUITE A MATURE BANANA!

I was so pleased with him that I took him for a skateboard along the sidewalk past the Marina where all the exclusive boats are docked.

One particular diver was not impressed with a banana taking over his territory and scooped Skin up in his hand.

 

Skin was terrified and promised never again to skate within view of the water, Marina or divers.

We walked along the boardwalk all the way to Cannonvale, then caught the bus back to the caravan park.

We met some adventurous travellers on the bus who took an instant liking to Skin.

 

When we returned to the rig, Skin was in such high spirits that he did a Mexican Hat dance around the van.

He certainly is becoming a 'Banana Bender!"
