Ha Giang loop day 1/2

Ha Giang loop time!!!!
Myself and Georgia arrived to Ha Giang from Sapa at around 6pm on the evening of the 22nd March
We began the 4 day motorcycle tour on the morning of the 23rd March. It consisted of 4 days driving on the back of a motorbike, with an 'easyrider' going through the mountains of north Vietnam.
The first day we took off from Mamas hometsay in Ha Giang town. We left at around 9am and arrived at our first homestay at around 4pm.
Durinf the trip to our first homestay we stopped numerous times at different viewpoints and got used to being a passenger on the back of a bike!!
When we got to our first homestay we had free time to chill etc before dinner. Myself and Georgia ended up sharing a dorm room with an Irish couple on the loop with us. The views from this homestay were amazing!
We got introduced to 'happy water' and our guides taught us the Vietnamese chant of basically 'cheers' before you drink. This evening consisted of lovely food, some karaoke and card games.
On day 2, we got up had some breakfast and got ready to leave out homestay onto the next part of the journey. During the day we visited some villages - where there were lots of local children insisting on doing all the girls hair. These places were very overcrowded with tourists! It was amazing driving through the mountains and embracing the spectacular views (pictures don't do it justice).
By the end of day 2, our bodies were pretty sore from the bikes 😅
We checked into our second homestay, chilled and had dinner. This might there was more groups staying together, so there was a bit of a party and a group of us went into the local town to witness a local festival that was going on, where they danced around a fire in the middle of a square!Læs mere
