Holidays in Northland

 Holidays

Yes, even teachers get to have holidays eventually from school and teaching!! Below are a few shots from Mr Bach's recent trip to Paihia with his family during the July school holidays - fishing from the Paihia wharf of course
 Mr Bach thinking about next term's enterprise plan already?!

Paihia is a beautiful spot. Did you know the name Paihia comes from a mix of Maori and English. The Reverend Thomas arrived in the region and exclaimed that it was Pai (good) here - and with here becoming hia (Maori transliteration) the name Paihia stuck.


Paihia is not even really cold at all in the middle of winter.
