During the war, the viet cong built a network of tunnels underground in the jungle to hide from the Americans. They knew that these tunnels would be their advantage as they knew the jungle a lot better than the Americans. Today we went on a day trip to see some of these tunnels, the cu chi tunnels. We had a tour by the most anti-American tour guide and so it soon got really annoying how bias he was. His idea of the war was that American didn't want to stop comm...

WARNING: GRAPHIC DESCRIPTIONS We started the day with a visit to the war museum. Again a very bias war museum. The artefacts and photos on display seemed even more horrifying than the museum in Hanoi. To the point were I had to go outside for air for fear of being sick. No photo has ever pushed me to that point before. At the start of the tour, there was all the standard weapons and vehicles; tanks, helicopters etc. All belonging to American troops. It's weird...

Our time in Dalat had come to an end, next stop Ho Chi Minh City - otherwise known as Saigon. My body was aching so badly from the abseiling the day before, just shows how unfit I am. We got onboard a sleeper bus to take us to HCMC. This is our first experience on a sleeper bus so we weren't holding out much hope based on how awful the trains had been. On the bus there was 3 lanes of seats that looked like reclining chairs with space to either side of them so...

Today was abseiling day so up we were at 7am feeling fresh. Well I was, Mark was hungover as he'd found a buddy to drink beer with in the hostel until 2am. We were taken by a minibus into the jungle to start our day of adventure. Once there we trekked to the 1st abseil, my clean trainers were caked in mud. I hate mud! Even in wellies I avoid stepping in mud so that wasn't fun. Whilst trekking I was also being bitten to death by Mosquitos. I have such a bad reac...

We had a long day travelling yesterday and have booked to go abseiling tomorrow so we wanted a bit of a chill day today. We headed into the centre of Dalat and found a little cafe to have a drink in. The plan was to have a few coffees/tea and do some research for the next part of our trip. However the tea was awful and the coffee even worse so we headed back. Mark ordered a white coffee but the milk never arrived, when we asked for milk we received some gloopy ...
