We had the right idea or rather the chance to have chosen Bla's excursion. You will be very well received by her and her husband, they will make you discover beautiful landscapes of rice fields and breathtaking views. She is adorable and if she invites you to discover the drawing on fabrics based on honey and indigo. Do not hesitate to take the two-day excursion where it will take you to the fountain of lovers and other unique and splendid places. Thank you for this experience Bla.
