Ho Chi Minh City - the Cu Chi tunnels

We decided to head out to the Cu Chi tunnels with a half day tour. We were picked up at 8.30 and driven out towards to tunnels, about an hour into our journey we stopped at a factory where disabled people make art work. Some of it was hand painted, and some like mosaic but made with egg shells. The work was beautiful. We found a chest do drawers we were really keen on. But the price and cost of shipping was somewhat prohibitive. 

Nest stop was the tunnels, it was just like I remembered. It was good for Shaun to be able to see it, although at times it was difficult to hear our guide as we were in a group of around 40. Just as we were finishing our tour it poured with rain.  We got soaked getting back onto the bus. But spent the bus journey back into the city chatting with an Irish couple. They had asked to be dropped at the war museum and we thought that sounded like a good idea so were going to tag along. But the bus took us back to our hotel. It was after 3 when we got back and we hadn't had lunch so decided to skip the museum and go find some food instead.  A few hours later we left the Irish couple to head back to our hotel. 

We were both pretty tired so just had a baguette for dinner then headed off to bed.
