My diary

Crazy lady in the night running around the halls with a lamp, the police were called! Scary!!! Got up early and had breakfast with good cakes. Drove to Chuchi tunnels with the guide Hai fat man. The driver got a phone call and said "ahh nom nom nom" and it made me laugh so much Claire loved it. Hai fat man fought for Americans in the war, he lost 3 fingers and was shot in the leg. We watched a video telling us about the history of the Vietnam war. We then saw an entrance to the tunnels in the floor that was covered in moss and looked like a tiny trap door. Then showed long line of different tortures traps. Then me and Rachel got to shoot a real gun. Then we got to go down the tunnels which had been widen to double the size. We had to crouch and squat through them, at one point on our hands and knees. They were used in the war to shelter during bombs. Tunnels were 6m, 8m, and 10m deep. Only the ones 10m Deep survived Donna. Then we had weird snack of potatoes and peanut sugar. They had to cook very early, about 4am to make smoke look like smog. Went back and went to war museum. Learnt about Agent Orange and the effects this had not only on immediate people but on their children as well. Me Claire and Sarah then walked to Puc Long and I waited an hour for a green tea and it was gross. We then went to get pizza for the over night train then got the bus and train. I shared a room with Cara, Sarah and Rachel. We drank Kens vodka but went to bed quite early. Train to Na Trang
