Sinaia !

Lorka and me have been hiking in the very beginning of the Carpathians mountains during one week-end.

We've been there by bus, from Bucuresti it takes approximately 2h30. We had barely entered the minibus that a Spanish guy, 62 years old, very smart, spoke with us. He was going to visit old friends. Actually he was one of the rare foreign student to study in Romania during the communist times ! He lived 14 years more in Romania to work and had many interesting stories to tell us ! It was a bit diffidult for me to turn to Spanish, but actually, I prefer the spanish word music than English, so I enjoyed this spanish speaking trip !

Barely arrived in Sinaia's railway station a taxi driver took us for the same price as the telecabine would cost us to reach the second telecabine: Cota 2000. Then we took the telecabine and arrived into the clouds ! Nothing to see further than 50m !

Anyway, we walk to reach the refuge we want to reach: Cabana Babele. After 3h30 walking we reach this cabana ! And lucky us; they have 2 beds for us ! (A few weeks later, Fabienne has been there and didn't have this luck ! ) So, quite tired we slept at 10pm.

An oral contract between me and Lorca was to wake up when the sunrise was coming ! What we did, look at the photo in the night, they are taken from 4h30 in the morning !

A few hours later, after some self-asking philosophical questions about our ability or not to reach this famous Cabana Omu, at 2506m high, we reached this high point ! A few days after, Tiberiu, volunteer in ART Fusion, revealed us it's one of the highest point of Romania ! YEAH ! We did it !
