Day 2 - Transfer out of the city; cycle to the Cu Chi tunnels

This morning we drove out of the city, before cycling to the Cu Chi Tunnels. The cycling was fairly easy and it was nice being back on a bike again getting some exercise instead of sitting in a bus, truck or plane.

The tunnels were Viet Cong sanctuaries, used by the guerrillas as living quarters and escape routes. The network covers 3 levels and approximately 240km of tunnels. Some parts have been widened for tourists, but the tunnels were originally very narrow and it is still necessary to crawl on your hands and knees.

Yay - Phō for lunch

There is 18 people in the group. The average age is probably 48.
