Thursday, 4 Oct: The bulk of the day was spent doing nothing. My parents were getting ready to leave back to Israel. I took care of their packing (it’s like Tetris – quite a bit of fun). They took off at 17:00 to the airport. I met up with Catalin (we met during my Fagarasi hiking and hiked one day together) at 18:00 to discuss a possible hike in the Bucegi mountains. There’s a 2509m peak there which peaked my interest…
Friday, 5: Oct: I went to hang out at Bucharest Mall to see a movie or something. However, upon arrival I realized I wasn’t feeling to well, so I tucked my tail between my legs and headed back home for a good nap… (On the way I bought a topographic map of Bucegi mountains for tomorrow’s possible hike.) In the evening I met up with some David guy who is some very distant relative of mine that happens to be in Bucharest although he is in fact Israeli. He had an extra ticket for a Muse rock concert for the next day, and since it seemed I wasn’t feeling too well for the hike, I figured I’d go with him and postpone the hike by one day.
Saturday, 6 Oct: Like yesterday, I went to a mall again in the hopes of catching a movie, and like yesterday, upon arrival I just headed back for a nap. My cold is acting up and my nose is running like the Niagara falls. At 18:45 I met David at Aviatorilor and we headed a few hundred meters to some stadium next to the “Arcul de Triumf” (a rather popular construct in Europe…). The concert was fine, and I’m sure would have been far more enjoyable had I actually known the band. I left at 22:00 (before the end) so as to get sufficient amount of sleep in order to leave on the hike the next day. Going with Catalin was no longer an option as he planned on leaving today. I figured I’d just go alone – no big deal.
Sunday, 7 Oct: I woke up a little after 7:00 and realized I was feeling way to crappy for a hike. So unfortunately I went back to bed and aborted the hike. Later the day I stopped by, again, Bucharest Mall and finally got to watch some movies. A “double feature” to be precise… Nothing was going on in the evening. I was feeling a little better and was contemplating to salvage my hike, but there was not enough time left now, and the weather has been getting worse. In fact, it’s been pretty bad since Saturday – the original departure day.
Monday, 8 Oct: I called Catalin to hear about how his hike went. It turns out he ended up not going due to bad weather. I suppose it was not meant to happen one way or another… Today was another day at the mall (this Bucharest segment has become more of a mall tour – but the weather is just too bad to walk outside especially in light of my cold ), and an important one. For the first time I was caught doing a double feature :( It was a bit embarrassing but had no consequences. I was simply made to leave. Nothing to spectacular during the evening other than a bit of a walk.
