Took a tour out to the CuChi Tunnels, about 50Km northwest of HCMC. Amazing place. It`s where the Viet Cong hid out while the Americans were carpet bombing the surrounding countryside. A series of tiny tunnels dug out of the clay in which the army lived slept and fought. Very claustrophobic even in the short 60m we were allowed in. Thank goodness they are all so slim. Also visited the temple at Tay Ninh, the headquarters of the Cao Dism sect. Very colourful. Trip took about 12 hours of which the last two were spent in a traffic jam attempting to get back into HCMC
