We left Saigon in order to visit the Cu Chi tunnels. These tunnels were used by the Viet Cong during the Vietnam War and streched for more than 200 km between the Cambodian Border until 30km from Saigon.
We visited 2 dfifferent sites, Ben Dinh and Ben Duoc. We were in the tunnel complex until dark and had to take finally the first Hotel we found. Unfortunately it was not the kind of Hotel we expected but what else we could do without lights on the bicycles?

25 November 2009 / Cu Chi to Bavet (Cambodia) / 62 km / Total 1489km
With an early morning ride we made it until lunch time to the Cambodian border. The place here is full of ugly Casino's. Anyway, we plan to go as quick as possible to Laos.
