First a few words about the night. I woke up quite a few times feeling like I had some fever, but I didn’t have a thermometer handy, so I’m not sure if I did have it or not, although I suspect that I did.
In the morning we got to see in daylight the place where we lodged, and it was quite lovely indeed, as it was pretty much in the middle of nowhere (explaining the pitch darkness of the night before).
Anyway, we headed out and first went south 17km to Paltinis, which is at 1400m or so and the views on the way were quite nice. From there we headed back to Sibiu (32km) and proceeded eastbound towards Fagaras on E81 for 45km until we hit the Transfagarasan road, which is the road that crosses the Fagarasi mountains that I hiked three weeks before. Heading north on the Transfagarasan for another 30km we arrived at Lake Balea.
Lake Balea is at 2044m, and I spent two nights there when I hiked through (although not in the hotel but rather with the Salvamont – i.e. rescue service, as it was cheaper and nicer for me..). It was nice being back to this place so shortly after having been there.
We got the last spot at the hotel. The place is very nice with some beautiful lake and surrounding mountain views. The hotel is situated right on the shore, literally touching the water. The view from the room was beautiful. We had the worst lunch there, however. It was both expensive and disgusting (a lethal combination)…
By the evening I started feeling worse and my fever had already gone up to 37.9, which is quite high for me, and I was worried my ear were going to melt…
