Spending time with friends 🙂

Danai_S, Nov 2023

We were picked up from our homestay by our guide Minh and our driver Tee with their motorbikes. First we went to a super local market (not touristy at all) where we got to know each other and had some delicious breakfast. Then we were taken to see a spot where there was a lot of bombings took place during the war and had some coffee at cute place on the rails. Bonus point? We were lucky to see the train while we were there. Next stop where B52 fell off and where they have the actual plane. Last but not least had some lunch at a place we would have never gone on our own and to finish it off with a glass of beer. It was more of a tour of spending time together with local friends rather than a war tour but still we loved every minute of it.
