Vietnam

Last night we arrived in Ho Chi Minh city and were blown away by how crazy the city was. There were motorbikes and cars everywhere!!! Crossing the street was very scary. 
Today we went on a tour of the Cu Chu tunnels. The Cu Chu tunnels were made and used by the Vietnamese during the Vietnamese war. It was a very interesting tour - learning lots about the Vietnamese history from our tour guide Mickey. At the end of the tour we even got to go inside the tunnels. The Vietnamese were very small - but parts of the tunnels have been made bigger for western people. In some parts I had to crawl on my hands and knees.

After the tour we had a look around Ho Chi Minh city - we even got better at crossing their busy roads!! 
We finished the day with a drink at a sky bar. The view was amazing!! (These photos don't really do it justice.) 






Tomorrow we are off to the Mekong Delta.
