I arrived at a place called Petrosani at 2:42am. At 4:10 I took a train to Ohaba de Sub Piatra, which arrived at 5:30. From there I got on a special “Microbu”, which is simply a minivan service that got me to Carnic at 6:20, which is a starting point for Retezat national park mountains. There was one other person with me on the microbus named Alexandru, who is a 36 y/o that went for the mountains as well.
We left Carnic together at 7:45 after a good morning tea. We walked together to a place called Pietrele Cabin, where we arrived at 9:30. This was supposed to be an easy intro walk, but I found it rather difficult as I was carrying quite a bit of weight. We then separated and I continued on my own towards lake Bucura (2040m). On the way I got to Retezat peak (2485m), which was very very nice. Ultimately, I arrived at lake Bucura at 19:15, which made this an 11.5 hour hiking day… There I met up with Alexandru again and set up my tent. I went to bed at 22:30. It was raining, but the tent worked out ok.
