Bucegi: Cota 2000

Half a month ago, I've made another (unsuccessful) try to reach Vanturis waterfall, in Bucegi mountains. We've left with ropes and climbing equipment, in order to abseil the waterfall, or at least to try to kill ourselves :D But again the chairlift didn't worked and by foot was a too long quest to the waterfall in the big snow. We've entered deep in the forest following the tracks of the big bears...
Finally the forest was to dense to advance, so we got out toward Cota 2000, where a very strong chilly wind had hit us, frozen our bones. So, we've just reached Mioritza and we've assisted at a magnificent sunset, then we've descended back to Cota 1400.













Maybe I should say some bad words about Sinaia's mayor, which remember us each time that we leave in Romania, like in Somalia: the very icy road toward Cota 1400, no salt or something, a lot of cars turning back; hours of waiting at the cabin queue to go up the mountain while the chairlift doesn't function, the cratered road in which I've entered while driving down to Sinaia :( no parking lots, and much more...
