Me and my kaki lady buddy reached HCMC (Ho Chi Chinh City) on
(Wed), 2 days earlier than our gang of 34 who will only
touch down on Frida.
Upon landing at the Airport, we met 1 CHina young working couple
and 4 of us decides to go Cu Chi Tunnels (which is north of
airport) and near to Cambodian borders.
We negotiated cab fare with a guy (thought he was the taxi
driver), agreed on the price and hopped onto his white cab.
The Cab to Cu Chi Tunnels and back to our hotel (which is back to
airport and further down to reach town) is 1,250,000d.
We are going to pay 1million in currency for cab fare.!
The lonely planet book says 24km..and damned we found out it is
24 km out of the airport premises and we have to travel another
80kg up to Cu Chi town...
The ride was quite oki as we travelled at the villages and vast
lands where they plant vege and stuffs.
It took us 1.5 hour to locate Cu Chi Tunnels after going on
sandy and muddy roads.
When we reached the Cu Chi Tunnels, and as we paying for the
entrance fees, we found that the TOP SIGNAGE "Taxi" is not on our
white cab anymore. Our cab has turned into a private
car.
