Filling in the gaps!

I'm just explaining a few things that Euan didn't experience and he forgot to mention due to his self inflicted hangover!!!!!!

We will start with the title of the last blog update 'Punched in the head en route to Saigon'. As Euan was so terribly ill, I think he must have forgotten to explain this incident! We had to wait 40 minutes for our night train on Wednesday night as it was running late. Euan was still feeling awful and had a plastic bag in case of vomiting, he was sitting down with the other rows of locals with his head in his hands. A vietnamese lady who worked there approached him and started massaging his head, neck and shoulders. People in our group began to stare as some of them had just paid to get a massage earlier that day! When I looked around I noticed that the whole train station had was staring as well some finding this quite amusing! I found this hilarious because not only did I notice that Euan was tensing up, feeling a bit awkward this lady seemed to be battering his poor wee head! After this, again his head back in his hands still drawing attention to himself the Vietnamese lady was over again with menthol oil attacking my poor man again however at the end of this brutal attack he was left with three bruises; one on either side of his temple and another above his nose where she had been nipping his skin! Lucky git got two free indian head massages!

As the invalid was still dehydrated by Thursday he couldn't make it to Cu Chi Tunnels which we were both disappointed about as he was looking forward to this, however I studied these tunnels and filmed everything I could and learnt absolutely everything about them. It was really amazing, I had no idea what they were. I thought that they were used for smuggling things back and forth to Cambodia! They in fact were a village called Cu Chi that had to move underground to hide from the Americans. It showed you the traps they made and the way they lived in these tunnels which was very clever! We got the opportunity to go down to the tunnels which we had to crawl and walk bent over! These tunnels had been doubled the size for tourists! It was dark, clausterphobic and very hot. I chose to get out 3/4 through the tunnel because it got smaller and you had to lie on your back and wriggle backwards! I really don't know how people could live like this!

Hope everyone is well and we miss everyone. Love to all xxx
