We started the morning early with French pastries from the local patisserie as we had a 90 minute journey to the Cu Chi Tunnels about 60 kms north of Saigon. Watching the Saigon traffic on the way out was very entertaining.
This is the equivalent of the Australian one tonne ute. In his spare time the rider also does wheelies (often unplanned).
The tunnels were built by the Viet Cong to hide during the day and attack the Americans by night. They are very small and narrow.
He did get scared though when he saw this girl struggle to get through (see video). No wonder the Americans couldn't find them.
Jordan and Tia had no problems and did two sections (40m in total).
Brynley and Lisa did the standard (20m) and decided not to press their luck any further.
They had a rifle range where you could fire machine guns (M16's etc) for $1 a bullet. It got a bit loud for Tia.
However Jordan & Tia did manage to capture a tank.
We were very tired in the end and had lunch in the late afternoon. There is only one thing we could have eaten for dinner - Vietnamese ice cream. Yum.
Our alternative was this little cafe but we couldn't quite get over the name!
