Unfortunately we spend most of the time on the bus as everything was so far away. But when we got out and went to the actual places it was very interesting. Especially the vinh moc tunnels where for 6 years people lived to be protected from bombing. There was even a nursery in these tunnels and 12 baby's were born there. It felt strange to walk through there - 10 to 15 meter underground - and to imagine the life here during the Vietnam war and not seeing the sun for 6 years.

Hue - exploring the rich but sad history of Vietnam
Our 2nd time to visit a DMZ - this time not an active war zone anymore but a place that tells the history of Vietnam. From Hue, we booked a day tour to see the old DMZ, the vinh moc tunnels and the old US army base.
