Day 2 in Hanoi: When Plans Shift, Local Discoveries Begin
Our second day in the heart of Hanoi started off cozy and low-key. By 9am, we’d picked up our laundry and grabbed some delicious banh mi to enjoy back at the hotel – while Badet took much-needed rest under the radar. We’d planned to kick off a city tour at 11am with our Klook booking, but unfortunately, the ticket was no longer valid. Instead of letting that throw off our day, we pivoted quickly – by 11:30am, we’d booked a Grab and headed to Go Mart! From 12pm to 3pm, we dived into local life: stocking up on groceries, hunting for souvenirs, and sampling all sorts of treats – from classic pho to the viral coffee bun, plus fresh local fruits and dishes. We even had a late lunch at the food court there, soaking in the hustle and bustle of how locals eat and shop. By 4pm, we were back at the hotel, where the group decided to rest up early to be ready for tomorrow’s plans. But I couldn’t resist exploring a bit more on my own. At 7pm, I headed to the famous Train Street and wandered through the old town to experience Hanoi’s night life. The whole adventure was surprisingly funny – there I was, filming a moving train zipping past cozy coffee shops in a foreign country, feeling both excited and a little silly at the same time. The vibe was incredibly positive though, with street lights twinkling and the energy of the city alive all around me. By 9pm, I was back at the hotel, ready to wind down and rest after a day full of unexpected fun.
