Sunday 21 August - Via Ferrata Giovanni Barbara (by Martin)
A painful night for me due to a urinary tract infection (UTI), for which Sue produced some extra Cipro, which helped.
It was raining
so we took Ken and Helen up to the VF Giovanni Barbara beyond Fiames. Ken
managed the via ferrata easily (CORT 1), without the need to get his VF kit wet.
Helen and I went behind the waterfall, and then returned to wait for Ken and Sue. There was an English party nearby, guided and fully kitted up, as were a coach load of Czechs seen later, after we had lunched and then continued on to another cascade - "a Sbarco de Fanes" where was a superb waterfall to stand behind. Some wires led up behind the falls on the north side. This is marked as a via ferrata on the map, but not referred to in our guide. It was very wet. We decided to leave it to another visit.
Back into Cortina
for a cappuccino at Rubens cafe, before visiting the Co-op and adjourning to
camp for a tent meal prepared in our tent. Still raining.
Next Day
