There are two parts to any vacation: the quality of the vacation area and the quality of those facilitating the vacation. On a scale of one to ten Paihia is somewhere between ten and fifteen. Jan was easily well beyond that. Her home was perfect - beautiful and comfortable. She's an amazing host - she met me at the bus stop then took me to the local grocery store. And, she decided to cook a leg of lamb dinner for her guests. A truly memorable experience. Gonzo!!
