Very nice photo essay.
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 reasonable people, and, much like our border sources, could easily be 'persuaded' by a nice bottle of grappa to simply disappear.
At least you wore a great watch to impress the in-laws.
Glad to see you back in Croat-land, looking forward to next time over cevapcici.
Who says winter needs to be bleak and dreary - quick jaunt to Croatia
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...
KuK was the Austrohungarian Empire :)
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.
Ah such a pity...
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
As said, with the in-laws it would have been difficult...
But we will manage something sooner rather than later
Mmmm....
all that food coupled with the stunning views.... , thanks a bunch for the pictorial! Cheers, Filip
Oh, I've been to....
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
Is Greece that predictable?
I have personally seen too little of it to have a qualified opinion...
Well,
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
Will need to explore it more thoroughly at some point...
Now that the little one can fly, destinations like Greece become more feasible once more
Beautiful place, wonderful food.
I would need to go there one day..... Just wonderful. Ken
I can highly recommend it :)
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!
Very nice photo essay.

I hope some snow appeared for you :)
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?
No snow yet.
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.
I know :)
If the wait turns out to be too much of a drag and you feel like a detour to Vienna, let me know!
Never :)
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!
LOL - no...
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?
Wonderful and it is a splendid coastline and views, Speaking of KuK..
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...
Well...
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
We all crave different things...
A couple of days in Paris right now would not be bad Have not been since summer...
It all looks so beautiful
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.
I do not need to be asked twice to have cevapcici ;)
Even though I like seafood, I still enjoy my meat massively! Glad you enjoyed the little report
My real appreciation is for cevapci ci
as you may have guessed. As well as camaraderie and other sausages and such. But the area was gorgeous.
I am pretty sure I can conjure up cevapcici almost anywhere.
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.
Svaki puta kad netko pojede čevape s priborom jedan Bosanac padne sa skele u Njemačkoj!
We will have mazalice as well
A Bosnian :)
As a response to your second question, working Even the Germans need to get their construction done in some way
My translator said "lubricant".
No one is getting near me with lubricant!!! Badgers or not!
Hahaha.
That would be \'mazalo\'. No, we are talking about a specific way to make cevapi. And I wouldn\'t get near anyone with lubricant
Reminding me of an old time joke...
But best told in person Remind me next time - code word Vazelin
Still, you left early.
And missed a lot of garappa. Granted, I don\'t exactly remember how many.
More of a lunch trip :)
Only about 30km away from where we were staying. But definitely to be recommended! Thanks SF
Opatija
Used to be a resort already during Austrohungarian times, close to Rijeka. Very nice
It definitely is :)
Funnily enough these days I only get there in winter time and not during the prime time in summer...
Definitely on the list.
Great place, great restaurants. The beaches suck, but for a GTG it is great.
