7.30am start gorgeous sunny day, we had breakfast at the hotel & jumped in a taxi to the Cu Chi tunnels about an hour & a half from Ho Chi Minh. The Cu Chi tunnel network spans 250km and connected 6 villages in the 1960's, the underground tunnels facilitated Viet Cong control of a large rural area during the war. We got in the tunnels and walked underground bent in half, it was very claustrophobic. Certainly makes you appreciate how difficult it must have...

After the floating market we drove for an hour to our lunch stop, then another half an hour to the River Kwai bridge where Helena & I had to jump out and change mini buses as we were heading to the Erawan waterfalls. After another hour we arrived at the waterfa...

Arrived in Bangkok at 6am, we checked straight into a hotel and went to sleep till 1pm. The night bus is so uncomfortable!! Spoke to Danielle and we will meet her in Vietnam on Tuesday yipeeee! Went to the Internet cafe to organise our visa's, had noodles for breakfast and jumped in a tuk tuk to Chatuchak weekend market (the mother of all markets), it is 35 acres with thousands of stalls. Walked around for about 5 hours, made a few purchases and dragged ourselves...
