day 12

VIETNAM | Monday, 16 April 2007 | Views [391]

Today we had a early morning after traveling all the way from Sapa to Hanoi on an over night train then straight onto a plane to keep goin south to Siagon. We left our hotel around 8:30 to travel two hours away from our hotel to tunnels built buy the Vietnamise during the American War.  A few sat out of going right into the tunnels to walk around as it was hot inside and all really small and dark. Here we saw fighting,dining and cooking bunkers used by the vietnamise. The design was genuis and there wasnt one person who was amazed how they constructed the tunnels with the usual three levels with also the smoke fliters and drainage systems inside of them. From the tunnels we got on our nice air conditoned bus to PHO 2000 where we had lunch. once everyone was filled up we set out to do shopping in the markets which was an experiance with the amount of people inside there selling all different kinds of produce and products.
