Trip to Hue & the DMZ

As the boys had a weeks holiday from school we took a three day trip to Hue and while there went on a day tour to the Demilitarised Zone (DMZ). It was an insite into the American war which the kids and I found quite informative. In 1954 Vietnam was partitioned into North and South, creating the DMZ that saw some of the heaviest fighting in the American War.
