Cu Chi Tunnel (half day) US$5




8am: Set off to Cu Chi Tunnel. Some of the travellers were late and by the time we truly set off, it was 10am. *_*

11.15am: Went to a place where the handicapped did their craft. Their craft was rather impressive!

12pm: Reached destination. AT LAST. My guide could not really explain a lot and it was rather boring except the part which we could go through the tunnel. Then a Swedish guy came up to me and offered to help me take pics. We chatted and continued throughout our bus ride back to the city. Thankfully, I had him else it would be very very boring.

2.30pm: Went to War Remnants Museum. Rather depressing but not as bad as the one in Nanjing. So I wasn't very affected by it. Then an sms came in. Yahoo...details about my PB! Whoah! I was so happy!

4.30pm: Walked around the area and initially I wanted to go to the History museum and maybe could meet David there. But well, I spent quite long in the War Remants and I reckoned by the time I reached there, I wouldn't be able to spend much time there. So went to Notre Dame Cathedral and General Post Office and to the bookstore again to buy the pics. Wonderful pictures taken and I was so impressed by it that I know I had to get the DSLR.

By 5.30pm, I was tired so I settled for Highlands Coffee joint where I had my first meal of the day. Coffee - 22,000D and mango & green tea cake - 35,000D.

Proceeded to the streets again and was not in a shopping mode for clothes and went to look at the oil paintings instead.

By the time I reached the guesthouse, I had a splitting headache and a stomach cramp. Sigh!
