Ho Chi Minh City - Vietnam

---

Ho Chi Minh City was one of the most interesting places we could have visited in South-East Asia.

We spent a bit of time at the local market where Sophie modelled a few wigs for the locals and striking an uncanny resemblance to Mandy in the process! We also went on a day trip to the underground tunnels which were used by Vietnamese soldiers during the Vietnam War. We were amazed by what we seen and experienced, the tunnels were tiny and walking through them was very tiring. The tunnels were very well hidden making it hard for American soldiers to track them during the war allowing the Vietnamese to go undetected.

After the tunnels we decided to go buy some more batteries for our now completely dead digital camera and go see some more sights at the war museum. The war museum from the outside was very impressive, it was filled with planes and tanks used in the war. However, on the inside there were many shocking pictures from war time of things like American Soldiers carrying dead remains of local Vietnamese school girls. Very sad.

After Ho Chi Minh we headed north to Hoi An and spent a day on the sunny beaches of Nha Trang for the day which was sunny during the day but as soon as the sun set the heavens opened and the place quiclkly began to flood! Good job we had our bus tickets and it was off to Hoi An for us, hopefully the flood's wouldn't follow...
