Yes, of course.
Without the boring days the rad days wouldn't be rad.
Being on the road every days for days on end removes you from people which is good in some regards but humans are designed as social creatures so you miss the peeps you would normally hang with.
The novelty of planning adventures and stuff and eating weird food and meeting forruns and blah blah wears off and you want to go home. There's nothing wrong with doing that.
Are you on a time limit? Do you have a tight budget? Are you traveling for sight-seeing, looking for love? Getting to a certain place at a certain time. Different tours will have different states of mind at different times. You either push through the doldrums or you call it and start planning a return.
