Celebrating the national day

Today is the 1st of December, Romania's national day and it's a free day. Even though it was a Wednesday and tomorrow I have to get back to work I still insisted on leaving this ugly city for better landscapes.

And so, at 7 a.m. in the morning, me and 8 other people were buying train tickets to Sinaia. Unfortunately for us a 2 and a half train ride turned into one of over 4 hours because there were some troubles with the electricity.

When we got to Sinaia it was late, foggy and raining...but we still had to go up. So we took the cable cabin (i did not find another term for it) to 2000 m where there was quite a serious blizzard...we still insisted on going to Piatra Arsa...but unfortunately after half an hour we had to turn around because we couldn't see the track signs anymore.

That's the short version of the story because I am quite tired...I will leave the pictures to say the rest:
