It was in a jungle and we first saw some air holes then went down a tunnel. The air holes were made to look like ant or temite mounds. It was very dusty and dark in the tunnels and it got very small in the 1st and 2nd one. They were used during the Vietnam war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also saw some traps to trap the American soldiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We heard machine guns firing at the shooting range. They were very (x3) loud. Me and Martha sat on a tank!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was very hot in the jungle and in the tunnels. In one tunnel which we weren&#8217;t allow in we saw 2 scorpions and a big spider! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a
