Taking up arms in Saigon

Our last city in Vietnam has been fun, we took a ride out to Cu Chi tunnels for an 'independent' take on the war in Vietnam. It was interesting as it was the site of years of resistance by pro Communist fighters who took to living under ground for more than 10 years. We got to have a crawl through the tunnels and I got to fire an M16 rifle, as used by the American forces.

Kate went down a fox hole created for individual safety, later she made tea in one of the bunkers.

It was very interesting and quite scary how much people suffered on both sides.
