Iron Heart Coaster - World Tour 2010-2012

[charly]

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 …

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?)

Great updates, charly!

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.

[charly]

Yep! The weather is great.
We have bright sunshine and temperatures of about 35 °C (95 °F)
in the southern part of Romania since the beginning of July 

No, no, no! I am not going to blame the coasters (again). I had to drive after the flight.
So I had to drink also soft drinks in the plane (see below):

The so-called "food" was terrible, as you can see easily.
But I like the slogan on the box, saying "HANDMADE TODAY".
Does it mean, it never expires? Might be an explanation for the strange taste 

By the way: did you notice my TWHR01???

[Giles]

Nice pics, posts and triples…..

[charly]

Today I am at the airport again, waiting for the flight Vienna - Bucharest.
And exactly my flight (and ONLY my flight) is delayed by 2 hours, as you can see at the bottom of the list below 

So this means waiting, eating, looking out of the window, watching the endless rain …

[Beatle]

lots of rain….hang in there

[charly]

Another 30 minutes (see top of the list)

@Beatle:

Thanks! I managed it to escape finally

Now I am in Ploiesti / Romania again. The gratification is a lovely weather, a cloudless sky and 35 degrees

[Madame Buttonfly]

Those coasters are certainly getting some mileage!  Nice updates, glad you finally got to your destination!
