Later, we arrived to Bucegi mountains, we took the cable car up the mountain and on the way we saw ice since it was so cold up there. Unfortunately, Savta had to stay in the building up there because it was too cold for her. We took a hike to see two statues that were carved by wind and rain. First was the Sphinx, which looks like the famous one from Egypt, and the second was the 'Sitting old Ladies', which apparently looked like old ladies sitting around and chatting. We also saw Shepards with some funny looking hats talking to tourists. It is said that if they have their hats tilted to a certain side, they are in a certain mood. By the positioning of their hats, the two shepards appeared to be in a different mood.
