another day for a history lesson - off to thw Chi Chu tunnels. again, so interesting to learn how the vietamese, dispite a lack of weapons, outsmarted the americans. the tunnels were just incredicle but sooo narrow - cant believe people down there for so long! their booby traps were rather horrid but clever and they were so resourceful - even reused the old american bombs yo kill the US army!! we also stopped at a craft workshop where sufferes fromthe Agent Orange chemical inlay mother of pearl and egg shells into artwork - it is just stunning but a little pricey unfortunately! back in HCMC i did a bit of sourvenier shopping and met Ian for dimner...had the yummiest lasagne ever!!!
