TimeOut

Before Zabreg and Damjan ask, a GTG was off the table, as the trip involved in-laws, so there were more (potential) issues than those of Vogue even without detours being made It is also not difficult to understand why my great grandfather (naval officer i...  

What is the "KuK navy"? M4

And hence the Navy, something Austria has not needed since 1919... Very capable force in its day, pioneering the use of naval aviation, perfecting the fleet in being concept and excellent at naval warfare in narrow seas.

I can't ban you anymore Opatija was always one of best cigarettes and favorite place of Austrian aristocracy. We should really start to persuade you to stop visiting Croatia without GTG Cheers amigo D

But we will manage something sooner rather than later

all that food coupled with the stunning views.... , thanks a bunch for the pictorial! Cheers, Filip

It\'s really worth trying out live!

Dubrovnik before and it's one of only 2 summer vacations that stick to my memory for all the right reasons . I will definitely visit again, as soon as an opportunity presents itself. Cheers, Filip

Out of curiosity, what\'s the second one?

predictably I'd say - Greece . Cheers, Filip

I have personally seen too little of it to have a qualified opinion...

admittedly it's all entirely subjective but at least the people I've known to a greater or lesser extent over the years have largely held it in their top few spots for vacationing . I certainly recommend it . Cheers, Filip

Now that the little one can fly, destinations like Greece become more feasible once more

Not all that far from where you are at the moment

I would need to go there one day..... Just wonderful. Ken

Often tuna from the Adriatic gets flown to Japan - so it may be simpler if you come over instead We\'ll take good care of you!

But, to be completely honest, you are lucky D was tired from his dealings with the government and I am away. Otherwise, our border contacts would have notified us of your crossing the border and we would have simply crashed your party. But we are nice and... 

But the next round / GTG is definitely on me, whatever the food and drinks It has been great - btw. when are you back next time?

It is like waitjng for Godot. Next round must be on you considering your new position in our comunity. I have no clue when I will be back, but I will definitely keep you updated.

If the wait turns out to be too much of a drag and you feel like a detour to Vienna, let me know!

Looks like someone will not be able to exit Croatia

As for leaving Croatia - the post was already composed outside Back to Vienna tomorrow and then let\'s see when we can arrange for the next MPG meeting!

But as I said, been there with in-laws and composing a post would simply not have worked at all. Btw. are you sure there is not some research related reason to come to Vienna? A flare up in Lamarckism, or ATG auch you need to urgently address in person?

looks like you're close by to Pula. Here is a little something from my other collecting interesting, collecting orders and medals, from Austrian Navy Officer, The recipient was Stellverter (Deputy) Commander of the Pula Arsenal, retired as Linienschiffska...  

Depending on what is close - in our view not that close but then just about an hour I guess (Damjan?)... Thanks so much for sharing the KuK medal pictures - very impressive

Best wishes Alkiro

A couple of days in Paris right now would not be bad Have not been since summer...

Best wishes Alkiro

We used to go at least once a year when we were closer...

including the fish. But I have to say: now that I looked up the definition of cevapci I think I may want to lurk about with Zabreg and Baron Darko while you eat your tuna. I promise to make sure they save you some grappa.

Even though I like seafood, I still enjoy my meat massively! Glad you enjoyed the little report

What WERE you saying?

Or something to that effect

as you may have guessed. As well as camaraderie and other sausages and such. But the area was gorgeous.

But they are best on home turf. So, we are waiting for you. My dear friend owns a place, and we can make home made as I have another friend that owns a meat company and makes special order ones just for me.

We will have mazalice as well

And what was he doing on a German scaffold?

As a response to your second question, working Even the Germans need to get their construction done in some way

As said, never heard that one before

And it sounds like one of those jokes...

last Starfighter ;-)

From: ItAF ...  

one.... ...  

With the cap, badge(r) and red scarf. The whole deal.

So tasty. Nice call D.

No one is getting near me with lubricant!!! Badgers or not!

That would be \'mazalo\'. No, we are talking about a specific way to make cevapi. And I wouldn\'t get near anyone with lubricant

But best told in person Remind me next time - code word Vazelin

But not in that way All fully above board...

you left early last time

And missed a lot of garappa. Granted, I don\'t exactly remember how many.

Never heard that one before but very good!

Mmmmmm, mazalice.

Now that sounds pretty nice

No need to choose between components

Only about 30km away from where we were staying. But definitely to be recommended! Thanks SF

Used to be a resort already during Austrohungarian times, close to Rijeka. Very nice

Funnily enough these days I only get there in winter time and not during the prime time in summer...

Great place, great restaurants. The beaches suck, but for a GTG it is great.
