Yesterday was a long day on the bus for what felt like not much achieved. Outside of stopping for lunch there were two places we went too over a 10 hour bus trip.

First stip was the town of Tay nigh where the head temple of a religion call Cao Dai religion, which is a mix of three religions all worshipping in the on temple. It was interesting, but I would hardly say it was worth the time spent to see it.

The second stop was the Cu Chi Tunnels which are only a couple of hours out of HCMC. There is a lot of propaganda around this visit as well and you have to sit through a movie to see the tunnels. Luckily we were able to watch this while of the bus and did not have to sit in the hot huts to watch. It was an interesting tour and only a short bit of it is spent underground which is quite lucky, as even though the short bit we go through has been enlarged it was still quite hard to get through having to crouch in a awkward position.

So I am off to the Mekong Delta for two days, I am leaving most of my stuff here and just taking a small bag, so there will be no technology until Thursday night.
