This will be brief and I’ll fill in the details tonight:
* hired a car for the day with driver for $70
* went out to Cu Chi – home of the 200km tunnels used in the war
* took a tour of the surrounding area, climbed through the tiny tunnels – not suitable for Glen-size people
* saw a bunker that a B52 bomber made when they dumped their payload trying to find the tunnels
* shot an AK47 gun – 10 rounds each for Hannah, Ben and Glen
* Glen got hit by a stray spent cartridge – small burn mark, so I can say I’ve been injured in gunfire in ‘Nam
* back to hotel and girls went searching for bargains at huge market
* Ben & Glen went in search of beer
* both parties happy with their finds
* experienced first downpour. When it rains, it rains!
Huge day and very enjoyable! learnt heaps about the war and the local people.
