I got on a sleeper bus around 3:30 pm and they told me it would be a 10 hour journey. So fun. As soon as I got on the bus there wasn’t too many people which was nice for a good seat selection. I was about to grab a bed and then I hear “hey!” It was one of the girls I hung out with on the day boat tour and also bumped into her earlier in the day on my hike. It was pretty funny to see her yet again randomly, so I ended up grabbing the bed next to her. The next hour and a half was spent picking up more people and the bus soon was completely packed.
It also had beds up top, like bunk beds! Either way I met some nice people around me, one girl on the other side of me was from the UK, and also 23, so it was fun talking with her. The bus ended up getting on a ferry, and I got off to use the washroom. When I got back on I thought I was going crazy because I heard my name called a few times. Again, I was shocked because the couple I hung out with on the way to Cat Ba Island was also on this bus! They had the back seats which were so spacious, lucky. I ended up chatting with them for a while.
Long story short, right as we were back on the road something on the wheel fell off, and it set us back like 1.5 hours just sitting waiting for them to fix it. Some of us tried to play some cards in the tiny aisle of the bus!🤣
Around 12 am, we stopped for food and the washroom. Since I didn’t really have a chance to have dinner before getting on the bus I got some pho.
I ended up arriving at my hostel around 3:30 am and the receptionist there was super sweet. She waited up for me and showed me where I could find everything and let me know about tomorrow’s plans for the Ha Giang Loop. Slept by 4 am and was up around 7:30am.😭
