点评:As a family we took part in two excursions following a chance meeting with Radu in a local outdoor shop in Brasov (Annapurna). Putting it simply, it was the best thing that could've happened.
Trip 1: a trip to seeing bears feeding in the wild at a rangers hut. Something that we didn't think we would get to experience. His price was absolutely fantastic and he was very knowledgeable about the area and about the bears. After chatting on the trip and confessing our love for the mountains Radu went out of his way to drive to see the Piatra Craiului mountain range and we spoke at length about them. He then dropped us off at our hotel with a smile.
Trip 2: a trip to a cabin in the Piatra Craiului mountains. This walk took through 1 canyon to a secret canyon where Radu knew but others didn't. From there we went up to a cabin at 1500m where Radu sat with us a gave us some Romanian traditional food and drink (yet another act of going above and beyond).
Overall the trips were fantastic but more importantly, Radu was AMAZING!! He is such a friendly, easy going and knowledgeable person. At all times we felt safe and he was a brilliant mountain guide. On top of this he was very encouraging to our 10 year old daughter (who thought he was ace!) Radu knew what to say and when to say it. Radu pointed out interesting nature and demonstrated bushcraft as well as being a confident and supportive guide through varied terrain. He also told us interesting facts about the history of Romania as well as pointing out architecture on the journeys. We chatted non-stop and by the end of both trips we agreed to stay in touch and invited him to visit us in the mountains of North Wales....a gesture we truly mean as he was really that lovely.
Thank you for 2 fantastic experiences and the texts of advice you gave in between. Until next time...
翻译:我们一家人在布拉索夫的一家户外用品店(Annapurna)偶然结识了拉杜之后,便跟着他参加了两次郊游。简单地说,这是我们能遇到的最棒的事情了。
第一次行程:在护林员小屋附近观看野熊进食。这是我们原以为自己永远没机会体验到的经历。他的收费极其合理,而且对当地情况以及熊的习性了如指掌。在旅途中闲聊并互相表露对群山的热爱之后,拉杜特意开车带我们去观赏皮亚特拉·克拉伊ului山脉,我们还就此进行了深入的讨论。最后,他微笑着把我们送回了酒店。
第二次旅行:前往皮亚特拉·克拉伊ului山脉中的小木屋。这次徒步路线要穿过一个峡谷,才能到达一个只有拉杜知道、其他人却不知情的隐秘峡谷。之后我们前往海拔1500米处的一间小木屋,拉杜在那里与我们相聚,还为我们准备了罗马尼亚的传统食物和饮料(这又是一次超出预期的贴心举动)。
总的来说,这次旅行棒极了!但更重要的是,拉杜真的太棒了!!他为人友善、随和且博学多才。我们始终感到十分安心,他也是一位出色的登山向导。此外,他还悉心鼓励我们10岁的女儿(她觉得拉杜简直酷毙了!)。拉杜懂得该说什么、何时说。拉杜指出了沿途有趣的自然景观,还展示了各种野外生存技能。他是一位自信且乐于助人的向导,能带领我们穿越各种地形。他还向我们讲述了罗马尼亚的历史趣闻,并在旅途中介绍了当地的建筑特色。我们聊个不停,两次行程结束后,我们决定保持联系,还邀请他到北威尔士的山区来拜访我们……我们是真心这么想的,因为他真的太可爱了。感谢您带来的两次绝妙的体验,以及期间给予我的建议信息。下次再见……
