Today we met our driver, Phong, and our guide, Happy. Had a van all to ourselves with comfortable seating, plenty of storage, welcomed air conditioning, and a supply of cold bottled water.
Our first stop were the tunnels at Cu Chi. We toured the site first and Happy gave us many details of life for these people beneath the earth. Entire families lived in the tunnels for twenty years during the war. At times there could be at least 20,000 people living there. We had the opportunity to go through 40 meters of the tunnel and we were exhausted. A faster was was to crawl but we just hunched over.
