Holyweek Adventure - Cu Chi Tunnel




After a nice adventure in Cambodia, we took a bus and went to Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam. The bus trip, which crosses the border between Cambodia and Vietnam, took us around 6 hours of travel before we reach our city of destination. We didn't had a hard time completing the different forms because the bus personnel did that for us! We arrived at the hotel at around 7pm so what we did is find our hotel and eat our dinner.

After dinner, we checked the rates for the different tours that the hotel is offering. We were really interested going to the Cu Chi Tunnel so that is our itinerary the following day.

Going to the famous Cu Chi Tunnel (they featured it in one of the episode of the Amazing Race) took us around 2 hours by bus. Cu Chi Tunnel is a netwrok of tunnels that spans for at least 200 kms. These tunnel were built by Vietnamese as hiding place against enemies.

Warning: If you are claustrophobic, better not try entering these tunnels.
