Day 7

On Wednesday we drove to the Cu Chi Tunnels which the Communist Guerrillas used to ambush the US and South Vietnamese troops during the Vietnam Conflict. The original tunnel openings were only 12 by 18 inches. Chuck and I went down into a forty meter long tunnel that was not quite four feet high. It was dark and hot and required a lot of effort to walk stooped over for that relatively short distance.

We then returned to Saigon and saw the post office and Notre Dame Cathedral which were designed by Frederick Eiffel.
In the evening we flew to Danang in Central Vietnam.
