A "piss-up" in a brewery - sometimes easier said than done....

....up there where the air is clear

...when skies are blue and fields are green...

Probably the best day of all....

Following the River Danube from Vienna to somewhere beyond Linz...

My few days in the Austrian capital as I wait for friends and family to arrive...

Short, sweet and speedy: a ride through the little Republic of Slovakia...

A couple of slices of Ukraine, with a Moldovan filling...

Continuing on through the Crimean Peninsula and on to the city of Odessa...

Crimea - arrival and the first couple of days getting into this unique land...
