29th April - Ho Chi Ming City/Saigon
After crossing the South China Sea, we
entered the Saigon River at dawn and reached Ho Chi Ming City at around 10.00am.
First trip was to see the Viet Cong tunnels at Cu Chi.

| Inside the tunnels. They had been considerably widened for the tourists. Extremely hot! |
