We headed back up the river to our bus that will took us to the Cu Chi Tunnels. There are many hundreds of kilometers of tunnels in which the South Vietnamese would hide from the US troops during the war. Many people actually lived in the tunnels which comprise of hundreds if not thousands of underground rooms for cooking, sleeping, building weapons and even for performing surgery. We were able to go into some of the tunnels and some of the spots were so tight that most of us could not fit (the Vietnamese people are much smaller than most of us). We traveled back to Ho Chi Minh City for 1 more nights stay. Later that night the two of us enjoyed a great meal at the Temple Club before crashing for the night.
