Maybe you can satisfied some pickpockets on beaches! Beware on your stuff! You can loose cellular, money, passport or other valuable things if nobody's near them.

Unique Suggestions: Let always some take care about stuffs in bags. If you are in group do not go all in same time in water. Leave one person near stuffs.

Fun Alternatives: Alternative, do not take a lot of money, expensive mobiles phones, glasses, passports and other ID's to beaches. Take only a towel and yourself! ;-)

Frankopanska Torta #3

Frankopanska Torta #3, Crikvenica

 Darkoze Says:  How is this torta constructed? Like a fortress. The outer defenses, Schlagge on all sides and then dolloped to a fare-thee-well on top, is intended to stop the amateur eater. Having filled themselves with the outer layer of whipped cream, their eyes glaze over with the... 

Frankopanska Torta #2

Frankopanska Torta #2, Crikvenica

 Darkoze Says:  My ever-loving wife and one of my cousins who accompanied me on this cake journey insist it had everything to do with timing. Eating this dessert beast in mid-morning was asking for trouble. I’m not so sure, writing this a week after the event. But, I’ll go along with their... 

Frankopanska Torta #1

Frankopanska Torta #1, Crikvenica

 Darkoze Says:  Among the multitude of unwelcome tourists that have traveled to, through, and over what is modern-day Croatia were the Austrians and Hungarians. Titled as lords, dukes, and counts, they usually repeated the standard ritual of pre-1950 era history in that part of Europe with...
