Hi there,
At our arrival in the Victoria Hotel, a splendid ols style French looking hotel charmed us very much!
We had the time to swim in the early evening in the too hot pool ( like a bath tub!!) and in the evening we had a great dinner outside with view on the Delta!
We got a nice room upgrade because Kristof, of course, knows the people there ;-)
Cheers!

Next stop in the South: Cu Chi, the war really was terrible!
Hi there,
On Wednesday we drove off with a taxi van to Cu Chis tunnels. This really makes you think again about the terrible and inhuman war against the Americans!
What we saw there makes a man become very quiet.
We crawled into the tunnels of about 60cm width and about 50 degrees Celcius> Men lived dozm there for weeks sometimes.
This took us about an hour to visit the memorial site.
Then off to a lomg van trip rally to the South, Can Tho in the Mekong Delta.

In the evening ze finally saw Kristof and his parents and we went eating on a rooftop, of course, a very trendy place where the boss knew Kristof ;-)
