Ho Chi Minh formerly Saigon




After spending another couple of days on the beach ( this time in Na Trang ) and two night bus rides ( both of which we just loved so much ) we arrived in Saigon. Not the same kind of hussle bussle as Hanoi, more cars and less motorcycles for crossing the street. The facinating history of the Chu Chi tunnels and the walking tour made for a couple of busy days.
The Chu Chi tunnels were not for the clastraphobic or over weight people. They were scary to say the least and it is hard to believe that they lived in them during the Vietnam war.
