Improvised picnic

in BuzzParty Meet Hive!6 months ago (edited)

When I participate in an event, especially if it lasts several days, I like to write about it in chronological order. Some pictures were taken these days, mostly of historical buildings in the city center of Graz, although I forgot to take many pictures at our dinners and lunches. Unforgivable! But the truth be told, we had a good time and when you are in good company you forget to take out your phone and take pictures around. It's all well and good, I will write about our days more, but now I am going to break that rule and post the last day of the Hive Creator Days, Graz meetup.

With the Hivers who were still around in Graz this morning, we agreed to meet for breakfast in one café, at the main railway/bus station. From here you can catch your train of bus, and as we stayed not so far from this building, we had our official breakfast here.

Lucky us!!! As we just had time to finish our cups of coffee or tea, eat one sandwich and we had to leave!

There was a bomb alert in the train station! 😳

A few police cars arrived and we (as well as all the people) were asked to leave so that's how our official Hive breakfast finish.

No, no, that is not true, it didn't finish that way! Hivers, as creative people, went to a nearby park and had an even better time. We couldn't ask for a better place to have an extra chilling time before all of us would take our bus/train/plane/car/bicycle and go home...

Although this picnic in the park was not planned, it was more than great! @elmirabear brought some blankets, water, juice and her son brought rackets and balls for table tennis. 🏓

Selfie time 😆

A party, or even just an improvised picnic in the park because of a bomb alert in the station, that in the end was just a fake alert, is always better with music. @growandbow was at charge for that musical part that made the people relax and enjoy these last hours/moments of this meeting.

Whether he played the guitar or this strange instrument (I forgot its name 😅) we found it as a perfect musical background for the chit-chats in the "blanket area".

A bit further, in the table tennis area it was more challenging to hear his music, however the teams gave their best to win play a bit and have fun.

As the bomb alert was fake and the trains and busses could operate again as scheduled, we had to leave. We said goodbyes so many times these days 😆 but the last one also had to happen.

We are sitting now in the bus and heading toward another city from where we will catch our flight to Spain...

Guys, it was a real pleasure to spend these days with you. I will probably not tag now everyone from the improvised meeting we had today but I think it turned out better than we expected. 😉 Have safe travels everyone. 👋

Sort:  

Nooo, you played table tennis without me? I wish to be there and spend time with you all. Btw @ph1102 you are so tall 😂

Believe me or not, it came to my mind when they were playing that you would also like to be there and play so @ph1102 and @livinguktaiwan would finally belive you are a pro in table tennis 🏓 ;)

I wish to be there and show you my skills 😂 But I wouldn't guess what would they say if I lose 😂😂

We will have to arrange a table tennis match in the future!!! Btw I'm not that tall... lol... The selfie photo is a bit skewed, so I look like a giant... hahahaha 😂

You look at least two meters tall to me, man haha. Looking forward to play!

Hahahaha... Nah... I'm around 1.80... and shrinking... 🤣

We walked past as your bus was leaving the station, I wanted to wave you good bye but couldn't see through the dark windows

We were at the upper floor, trying to squeeze the backpacks into that tiny space for stuff 😂
The bus ride went well, a quick city tour through Klagenfurt and now at the airport. It seems our flight will be delayed for a bit more than an hour. How went your train trip?

Train ride was very smooth. We just arrived at Ljubljana and am waiting for the airport bus to leave now.

Hope Mr mipiano was ok on the bus and the delay won't be too bad. Have a safe trip

He was ok, he took the motion sickness pills. ;)

Our flight is delayed a bit more, so one and a half hours of delay.
Thanks and safe flight to you too! ☺️

Sometimes the improvised and under bomb alert works out better... well, not the latter, let's leave it aside, but what's better than nature, right? And never miss the music! Have a good trip!

It was a nice turnout of the things. Thanks;)

Have a nice Mother's Day!

Thank you 🌸

It was so lovely meeting you! Hope to see you both again soon. Safe travels 🤗♥️

Thanks and have a safe trip you too 😊🤗

Oh, darn! Not a thing I’d love to miss :/

I took a picture here in Maribor for you though:

😍😍😍 Thank you for the piano!!

Haha, luckily it was just a fake alert but everyone had to leave as the police needed to check the station

Oh what a luck that we have a blogger who has dedicated herself only to take the photos that you are missing, of our meals, hahahaha. 😏😎😝

I think some time ago I understood how impossible it is to narrate everything chronologically, life itself is unpredictable and blogging strictly in one way is frustrating for me in case I can't meet the goal, so I've relaxed a bit with that and just write “lo queue me apetece” hahaha.

It was also a pleasure for me to hang out with you these days, your smile is always synonymous with instant joy! Thanks for sharing these photos of the unexpected picnic, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to reach you after the false alarm, because it would have hurt me a lot not to say goodbye properly!

your smile is always synonymous with instant joy

Your one as well. 😇 And we were happy, actually all the time, really, for that whole week it was joy and good energy, even in those false alarm moments hahaha, great you woke up and arrived so we could meet in the park, we just went to leave our luggage at the reception.

Luckily the bomb alert was false, I can imagine the bad time they must have had, but without a doubt that improvised picnic was a luxury. A beautiful park and even music to liven up the ambience. Un abrazo 🤗.

A perfect turnout of the weird event, much better than if we had just sat by the tables. 😇🍀

One of those small miracles that brighten up life 😉🤗

Good evening @mipiano, it is very likely that you are already back home, still have a good trip. Although the bomb warning mishap was well resolved (I see many smiles) I am really sorry that this mishap happened to you. And here I stay... waiting for the next installments of this trip.

A big hug.

We just arrived home, it's very late. The plane was late two hours (well, 1 hour and 55 minutes 😂) but the next chapters will be coming these days 😉

Good morning @mipiano, glad to hear everything went very well, including the trip back, and I look forward to those pending posts.

Happy week!!!

Good evening @enraizar. Unfortunately, reality is back hahahah so I worked for the whole day, with a headache. 😅

Good evening @mipiano, I'm sorry that the return to reality has been accompanied by a headache. I'm sure tomorrow, with a little rest, will be a good day. 🤗

Good morning @mipiano, I hope that headache is gone.
Best regards.

Good afternoon @enraizar ;)

Yes, thank you, the headache is almost gone, so this is the first rest day - I had to clean the apartment, but I still didn't start hahah 😂

Good afternoon, @mipiano, glad to hear you're over that headache.

Best regards.

Glad to hear you had a nice time in Graz, and it was nice meeting you and other hivers.

It was a great week, you live in a beautiful city! Nice to meet you 🤝

Yep, totally creative people finding always a place to chill :P
The instrument is called didgeridoo originally from Australia and that one is specially to practice because the sound goes directly for the one that plays it (normally they are so long that the player doesn't hear it so well)

didgeridoo

Thank you, I will try to remember the name, just to repeat it a few times. didgeridoo, didgeridoo, didgeridoo :)
I do remember Mazin explaining about the sound coming back to the player, but I forgot the name. Cool picnics that should be repeated 😇🤗

Nice place for a picnic and even better with friends. And a happy return home after a little scare. Happy week @mipiano big hug.🤗😘🤣

The place couldn't be better and if with friends from Hive, then it's perfect 😇
Thank you and a happy week to you too @mamani

Sometimes, the unplanned moments are the most memorable, right? 😄 A bomb scare turning into a cozy picnic with music, table tennis, and good company sounds like a blast! 💫

Indeed 😉
