We start our trip at. 7:00 in the morning. It is a large breakfast table, so everyone is up early. I was excited when Thu Ha, would arrive.
We had a room for a final bath. As I stood and paid the bill arrived Thu Ha. She stood quietly behind me. I could not initially recognize her. She had the nicest Au Dai costume, as I've seen. She had an amazingly beautiful bouquet of flowers for me and a small bouquet for each of turdeltagerne. It was a festive sight, she in evening dress, we have other in sweaty t-shirt and shorts. We drove first to Cu Chi. It took approx. 1 3 / 4 hour. We got a lot to know about Cu Chi, so hospital, tailor shop, kitchen and last but not least caves. We were down to crawl in a few. We could not take all 250 km. caves. The Vietnamese guide went down in the first. It was so small that I had to crawl on my knees. The guide went first. The next that followed him was Thu Ha in evening wear. We had not believed she would go into the clothes. She came out of the caves without being dusty or dirty. Beautiful done. She had never been there. It was a great experience for everyone. Sorry, could not be there as long as we were en route to the Cao Dai, the religious sect here in southern Vietnam.
