Never let it be said that I am not one to take on a challenge. Our guide asked us if anyone wanted to try entering the Cu Chi tunnel... Yup, you guessed it. But, before I share that experience I'll provide you with a visual of the size of the guide.
Ok, now it was my turn. I lowered myself into the hole - wondering if I could possibly - even remotely get my hips into the entrance. Then once into the hole, I realized I was standing on tiptoes without a good perch to help push myself back out the way I came in...as I started to push myself up, I also realized I was pulling my pants down...this scene was too funny to believe. I thought I was going to be stuck in a tunnel entrance forever.
The only option was to go completely into the tunnel and crawl through it on my hands and knees (the tunnel is very narrow and short - even on hands and knees, I worried about my shoulders and hips fitting). Oh, and it is totally dark in this tunnel! And it is very hot and humid underground...
Lucky for me the guide went down another entrance with a flashlight and came to meet me where I was stuck
