Farangs, Day 13 — Anyone knows an ant can’t

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Itinerary: Following breakfast, we will leave Ho Chi Minh City to explore the infamous Cu Chi Tunnels, the Vietcong’s underground tunnel system that, at one time, stretched as far as the Cambodian border. The network consists of over 130 miles of tunnels in the Cu Chi district alone; parts of which are several stories deep.

There are trapdoors, specially constructed living areas, storage facilities, weapons factories, field hospitals, command centers and kitchens – all underground! Parts of this remarkable tunnel network have been enlarged and upgraded and are now open to the public.

In the afternoon, we have chance to experience the many sides of Saigon only accessible by water. You will be brought through isolated canals, local neighborhoods, and some of Saigon’s rapidly developing areas. Enjoy the sunset over the city and the best view of the city’s skyline. Overnight at Sapphire Hotel.

I enjoy travel and am either planning a trip or on one, spend way too much time on family history research, edit photos and have several photo books in progress, and then wonder why I don't spend as much time working on this website as I'd like........and I read--I love to read.
