For the
Australian travellers this was a most welcome stop. Our hosts were marvellous,
they not only took excellent care of their guests, they provided interesting and
compelling information about Lithuania, its people, challenges and successes.
Our stay was extraordinary and very interesting. Your hospitality out –
standing and gave us a fantastic feel of life in this most fabulous and unique
life and culture.

Dear Jurgis and
Danute,
Thank you so much
for your hospitality. You provided such a pleasant homely environment and especially enjoyed your fantastic cooking, Dana. The famous breakfast pancakes did not
disappoint. I left Lithuania with an even greater impression of its beauty
after a day trip to Trakai, Druskininkai, Birštonas and also Grutas Park. Next
time come back to enjoy some of the outdoor activities you offer!

Danute and
Jurgis,
Your generosity
of spirit and kindness of heart has made our trip to Lithuania most memorable.
To be able to take my mother back to Lithuania and her roots was a life long
dream of both mine and hers. To see the rolling hills, flat farmlands full of
warm wheat, dense pine forests and shinning Baltic was to reconnect with a
distant past that we wait to keep alive in our hearts .

We have
thoroughly enjoyed our stay and you have all made us feel very welcome in your
lovely home. Our highlight was our kayaking trip with Linas along the beautiful
Ula river. The breakfast have been very good and we have liked having home
grown produce.
Ros, Neil and EmilySomerville, Reading, England,

What a delight - both the place and the bright, articulate hosts! It was a
welcomed relief to find such a comfortable, roomy and clean accommodation. The
breakfasts were the best of our stay in the Baltics - fresh with lots of
variety (even the healthy wheatgrass).

Dear Jurga, Inas , Indre and Barney,
visit to your country.
Linas, you looked after us so well and made our journey through your country a memorable experience.
Jurga. You spoiled us with your delicious meals (O’ those pancakes!!!)
We shall return again but look forward to welcoming you in our home.
All our best wishes for your future from Hanne-Lore and Howard UK, September 2005
Really enjoyed Grutas park and all the sculpture. Kayaking with Linas and Jurga was great. Loved the holiday. David (13)
Dog barney lovely but lively and managed to knock Joe off his bike!!! Really enjoyed the kayaking and house museum. Cycling good as well. I really liked the apple pancakes and banana pancakes. Louisa (11)
It was hot, but to, hot and I liked my breakfast. It was really nice and loads of toast. The chupa – chups from up the road were yummy! Joe
It was lovely not o have a car, but to pop in to town on the 56 bus and learn how to pay on a trolley bus. Cycling in the forest in the north west of here was wonderful – smelled of pine, deserted, pretty tracks. Had
to navigate by the sun though. Trips to Grutas and Merkys river were highly educational and spectacular. Both hugely enjoyable and such a luxury to have someone else do the organizing and driving. What a holiday having someone do your washing for you too. Not a drop of rain. Bright sun and hot all week. How will we cope when we come to Buxton? Thank you Linas and Jurga. Very best wishes for the future.
Rosalind
Thanks for the great holiday everything is so cheap here it. You could start a black market regime and become a millionaire. Breakfasts, weather and cycling were pretty good as well.B

Your contribution to the success of our first visit to Lithuania was really appreciated. We’re grateful for all the advices that we received both in advance and during our 2 days stay in your country.

We hope to come back one day – and if you ever get a chance to visit Finland, we’d be happy to see you there.
