Saigon

Hello everyone,

I hope you are all doing well and that you are all healthy. We are now in Saigon. It's a big city so we are only staying here for two days before we go to the Mekong Delta. We stayed in Mui Ne for an extra 2 days and enjoyed all of it. We had a great time on the beaches and enjoyed every minute of the quiet city.

Saigon is another big city like any other and we have walked around it and enjoyed the different types of food and the night life. Today, we went to the Cu CHi Tunnels and they were a lot of fun. We visited where they Viet Com lived during the Vietnam war. The tunnels were so small even after being enlarged for tourists. The tunnels remind me of an ant colony. The guerrillas lived, slept and fought in these tunnels. They are not straight and very dark. We were only able to crawl around 90 meters of the 250kms of tunnels. The work that went into the tunnel was crazy.

Tomorrow, we are off towards Cambodia up the Mekong Delta. We should be there for around 8 days. We will spent the most of our time in Angkor Wat.

Talk to you soon,

Christian and Karina
