NEARLY HOME

Yes......it is hard to believe but we are nearly home. This is our last night in a caravan park and we are having a celebration.

Skin and Banana Custard and me are all singing and dancing around the van remembering all the wonderful adventures we have had over the past five months.

 

Skin was a bit worried when we arrived at this park as when we pulled up he discovered that I had been driving the entire day with a pair of shorts on the front bumper bar.

I had hung them out to dry when I stopped for lunch and forgot to pack them in the van!

i WONDERED WHY PEOPLE WERE PASSING ME WAVING AND POINTING! I THOUGHT THAT THEY JUST LIKED THE THOUGHT OF A LUNASEA VAN.

WE WOULD ALL LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR FOLLOWING OUR ADVENTURES!

We are looking forward to YELLOW DAY at Kongwak Primary school and catching up with all our friends again. The time has just raced by........I wonder what Skin will do when he arrives home??????

COFFS HARBOUR TO NEWCASTLE

Look at yesterdays blog to see Skin's welcome back from the Olympic games.

He has found a new friend, Banana Custard and she is travelling back home with us to Venus Bay.

Today was a HUGE DAY.....9 HOURS TRAVELLING from Coffs Harbour to Newcastle.

( Most travellers can do this distance in 4 or 5 hours!!!!)

Skin put on earmuffs so that he would not have to listen to my TUTTI FRUTTI tape again and again.

 

Finally Banana Custard put him back in a good mood.

She is much better for Skin than that Lyn Carrot.

She makes him laugh and sing silly songs. They get along very well together.

He finds her very APPEALING!!!!!!!!!!!

We will all be home in 6 sleeps..........

What a time we have had...

Keep watching our final days ON TOUR..........WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE NEXT 6 DAYS????????????

SKIN RETURNS FROM THE OLYMPICS

I met Skin today at the Gold Coast Airport. He has been visiting the Olympics in Beijing, China. He was invited as an ambassador fruit of Australia and it was TOP SECRET!!!!!!

   He has brought back a new friend he met on his travels. She is warm, sweet and very cuddly. He calls her 'BANANA CUSTARD' and she is the colour of honey.

I THINK SKIN IS IN LOVE!!!!!!

We all went to the Big Banana to celebrate a beautiful friendship.

Skin and Custard shared a HUGE BANANA SPLIT...

I chose a banana NUT MUFFIN!

My muffin had an extremely soft centre and crushed nuts to die for!!!!

It was so large that it took me hours to consume. But I savoured every bite!

We all went outside the cafe to look at the Big Banana model.

This picture looks as though Skin is balancing the banana on his head!

 

 

Here is a photo of Skin in a rubber circle. He wanted to show off his flair for modelling to Banana Custard.

Here he is with his hands around two peeled bananas.

They seem to be coming at him from all directions.

 

The whole place is filled with bananas in every shape and form.

I have never seen so many varieties of bananas in my entire life!

Skin bought some very special banana 'things' for all the children in grade 3/4 at Kongwak Primary School. We can't wait for 'YELLOW DAY" We will all be there.....Jo, Skin, Lyn, Flyn and Banana Custard.

Only one more week and we will all be home at Venus Bay....

What an amazing trip we have had....I wonder what will happen in the next week???????

AYR SICK

Skin became very sick in Ayr, so did Lyn Carrot.

Skin ate some blended chocolate and Lyn scoffed down a whole packet of dark chocolate which gave her the worst heartburn she had ever experienced. I left her with her carrot family in the caravan park  and then took Skin to the local market.

HE WAS NOT WELL!!!!!!!!!

First he sunk down into one chair...

 

                       

THEN ANOTHER.........

OOOOOOHHHHH .....He felt as though he was hanging upside down....

His stomach CHURNED AND CHURNED.....

He closed his eyes and dreamed that he was trying to talk to three monkeys.

 

Then he dreamed he was dancing with a colourful woman on the top of a table. A lady was walking by looking a bit worried.

 

Then he dreamed that he was riding a surprised rooster....

WHAT FUN!!!!!!!!

 

STILL HIS STOMACH CHURNED AND CHURNED.....

Then he saw himself on the back of a confused snake.....GO SKIN!!!!

Finally he found a tiny foal and sat on her back stroking her neck...

HE FELT MUCH,MUCH BETTER!

 

When he woke up, I took him to meet a volunteer working at the Ayr Information centre.

He grabbed Skin a bit too tightly around his waist and .........

GUESS WHAT HAPPENED?
