Hanoi pt.2

Published on 29 April 2025 at 06:48

After finishing the Ha Giang Loop, I caught an overnight sleeper bus back to Hanoi, arriving around 2am. It wasn’t the smoothest return - I was tired, slightly sick from a few too many drinks over the past few days, and running on little sleep.

Honestly, I didn’t have the best time being back in Hanoi this time. The city felt overwhelming instead of exciting. I also spoke to my family who were celebrating Easter back home in Wales, and it hit me harder than I expected. It was the first time I properly felt homesick since I’d been away.

Luckily, I was only stopping over for a couple of nights before moving on. I knew I just needed some rest, a break from the chaos, and a new place to reset.

Hope everyone is having a good week back home xxx

Hopefully you’ll have got those batteries recharged Maddy. You’ve packed so much in Maddy it’s normal to feel homesick etc. Take care, keep safe and keep posting x
