DMZ

Im not posting all my pics tonite as im hungry and want to go find a dinner!

LOL just being truthful.

You could see over the whole district from here

I went to Dong Ha this morning which is the last town in the south before the DMZ,from there i went to visit some of the old fire bases that the Americans used and also visited one of the many sad cemeteries that dot the countryside here from the war.

I also went over to the North to go into the tunnels that were constructed from 1967-1972 to keep the town of Vinh Moc safe during the constant bombing that occured as the US tried to keep the DMZ clear of Viet Cong.

The tunnels were amazing, deep (up to 4 stories underground!) all made by hand and they stayed completely hidden from the US for the entire war!

They were next to the ocean and i can only imagine what it must have been like to be stuck in them for days on end as the surf pounded gently against the sandy beach only metres from your place of hiding.
