The Cu Chi tunnels

On the morning of the 9th we headed off down bumpy roads to Cu Chi and the famous Cu Chi tunnels. Once we arrived we were soon wondering through the jungle, examining booby traps, tunnels and examples of how the VC lived during the American war.During our time here we got the chance to wonder through a tunnel, unfortunately Carl was just to broad shouldered to fit (Nothing to do with all the cheap beer in Vietnam) but Charlie pressed on through the narrow tunnels, and after her five minute trek was glad to be outside again as they were very claustrophobic.We wondered around some more and got to try a few other funny things, including rice wine, snake whiskey (Carl drank some this time) and firing an AK47.After experiencing a tiny part of what life was life in the VC we headed back to HCMC for the afternoon.
