At the begining of April 3 guys left France, on their bikes, intent on reaching India by way of Russia and Mongolia. Their path through Europe lead them through Romania and the Prahova Valley. I got word of their itinerary and linked up with Tanguy, Sylvain and Loic a week ago while they were still in Timisoara. After the guys had a rock climbing day on Saturday at Tamina we met up with them at 9 o'clock on Sunday morning in Busteni to take them hiking.
So on we went, 3 French (listed above), 1 Serbian (Dea) and 1 Romanian (Me), up the Jepii Mici to the Caraiman chalet and then up to the top of the Bucegi plateau to see Babele and the Sphinx. The weather changed so much and so fast it made us all change more outfits than a Godmother at a Moldavian wedding. It was hot, it was cold, it was sunny and it rained, it was clear, it was foggy. When we got to the top, in some of the thickest fog I've ever seen, we decided it was time to do some bouldering, since some of the rocks in the area provided great conditions for the sport. It was fun. When we were done playing we headed out towards Piatra Arsa and then down the Jepii Mari.
We met and talked to many people. We took 11 hours for the whole tour as we also took ample breaks. The total altitude difference was of about 1350m. It was a great day and I think we all had a lot of fun. I'm very proud to have been their local contact and mountain guide for one day, therefore becoming part of their story.
To read more about the guys and to follow their progress you can check out their website DynamoS'olidaire.
You can see the photos I've selected or their photo album from this part of the trip.
Thank you, guys, and take care on the long road ahead of you!
