Coasters have been sent to charly. Thanks for your patience, I wish I would have been able to update more regularily.

Calling Charly for updates…

Here you are, sorry for the delay. I'm nothing but busy these days.

Today I went to a small Spanish restaurant in the first district of Vienna to have dinner with my family:

Further pics will follow soon!

[Giles]

That's making e hungry and thirsty…

[Max Power]

Cool to see updates, and with that nice food…delicious!

Believe me, it was delicious

Today the coasters managed to travel to Hungary 

The countryside is very flat here, this was some years ago (or million years ago?) the "Pannonian Sea".

The toponomy of some cities is very short (Sopron, Gyor), but for some it is very long, like the Irish ones, see the pics below and try to find the coaster:

Since in Hungary it is not allowed to drink when you drive (which is intelligent), I had to drink just water.

And tomorrow the coasters will leave for Romania.
I guess a new record: three countries within three days

As promised yesterday: after Austria and Hungary the coasters landed at the Bucharest Airport Otopeni / Romania today:

Here the look-out from my office in Ploiesti (the "Oil City", some 40 km north from Bucharest):

And here the skyline of Ploiesti, seen from my apartment. Sorry for the obstacles in the foreground 

My favorite beer is placed on the coasters. Silva is a Pilsener type, Stejar is a strong beer with 7 % alcohol.

Here the view from my kitchen, some minutes before a thunderstorm:

Will keep you updated …

[Seul]

I run a company here. (Unfortunately) not in the beer business, but in the oil and gas business.

Great updates, Charly!

Thank you, Mrs G! Here my last nightcap/update for today - cheers! 

[charly]

Today I show you some pics of the Romanian landscape, the mountains near Sinaia,
a favoured ski resort about 100 km north of Bucharest:

Ah, and of course, here the typical coaster pics with a famous dry red
wine called "Fetească Neagră", served in a restaurant in Ploiesti:

I am drinking definitely too much in order to take coaster pics …

Oh, poor Charly, the Iron Heart World Coaster Tour is gonna be bad for your liver!  ::)

(Good excuse though, eh?)

Indeed, the best excuse I ever had

Along the road between Bucharest and Ploiesti:

And at the airport again:

Wow, looks like seriously lovely weather.  And are the soft drinks in the last pic because you have to drive later, or are you feeling alcohol overload? (Blame the IH coasters of course!)

Great posts, thank you.
