Cooper's Birthday
Cooper's Birthday
This morning we woke on our final morning (Cooper's Birthday) we made had a breakfast and Miss Urquhart got us up really early to paint and we completed our tasks.
Saying goodbye was incredibly difficult and so strange after only knowing people for 3 days.
We will make our way to Fiji Hideaway Resort for a rest today.
Keep up to date via the instagram until we get some wifi again soon
Thanks
