Cu Chi Tunnel

Disembarked our lovely vessel this morning. 
Thoroughly enjoyed our cruise. So much to see and do. Onboard entertainment, food etc amazing!! Travel Marvel really go the extra mile. 

And then we were off for a drive north to the Cu Chi tunnel complex. Enjoyed this visit although some of the booby traps were rather gruesome. I managed a tunnel adventure also. Don’t know how they lived down there soooo long. Wow!!

Lovely afternoon tour. Back on the tender - our guide tried to call it a sampan! 😂. Up another river to experience family rice factory and the gothic cathedral - built by French Francescian monks. 

Downpour while we were there. Just like a West Coast rain!!

Puffed rice combined with coconut caramel, pressed onto bars and being stacked for packaging. The outside reject bits were part of our afternoon snack - nicely packaged of course. 

Making rice paper for rice paper wraps. This lady makes 2000 per day - I kid you not!!
