Laura's Last days in NZ

We had a really lovely time the last days with Laura and on the day we left for the Airport in Auckland we had a very nice Breakfast with Tania, Scott, Jordan and Kesia. We stopped at Orewa Beach for Lunch and had a lovely walk along the beach. It was a beautiful sunny day and Laura could get a little bit more tanned before leaving our shores. She was arriving back in Finland with an excellent dark tan. Looking really healthy!!!! We visited the Auckland Botanical Gardens in the afternoon and had a lovely time together with some friends. We spent the night together in Auckland and had a very delicious Dinner outdoors. Next morning to the Airport and our farewell to dearest Laura as she joined together with the other exchange students to book in for the flight back home. Farewell our dearest Finnish Daughter. We will be waiting for your Return.
