It's been 3 days since the Hive Creator Days meetup at Graz finished, and everything is back to normal again. I don't know about everyone else, but I feel a little deflated now, after the great time during those few days. Here's my recap, and you can read more about the others in the Buzz Party Meet Hive community here
This is one of the things I always look forward to at each meetup. There were a bunch laid out on the table during the last day shouting "Take me home!" I obliged of course, and will show you the goodie contents at the end of the post.
I was so busy chatting to people during the meet up that I didn't take many photos. There were 8 presentations in total, 4 in the morning and 4 in the afternoon, with lunch in between. My biggest takeaway was the announcement that the next HiveFest is in Malaysia in October. I actually found out the evening before from The Wizard, so was very pleased that they announced it officially in case I let slip the big secret!
Lunch was freshly prepared for us, and 
I was due to present in the afternoon, and whilst waiting nervously, I took this really cute photo of 
Finally, it was time for my presentation. I just watched back the live stream yesterday, and was mortified to see that I babbled on for half an hour 😱. Anyway, the audience was very kind to me, I didn't see anyone fall to sleep and got a few interesting questions in the end 😃. Thanks to everyone who listened to my presentation and special thanks to 
After all the presentations were done, we went to visit Schloss Eggenberg. We were very lucky to have our very own guide 
On Saturday, we started with a Clean Planet walk in the morning. I'll be posting about that separately because I've never done a Clean Planet post before, and the whole event deserves its own post. You can see we're armed with gloves and a claw ready to pick up the trash.
After that, lunch, and a bit of free time, we reconvened for a guided tour around Graz. I felt I didn't get to see enough of Graz because I didn't spend that much time here. The guided tour was a great way to learn a bit more about the city. We were taken to this quaint little courtyard, I can't remember why the guide said this courtyard was so special, it might have been something to do with them being typical pretty courtyard in the middle of the city.
For dinner, we were taken to place called Genussplatz. We had to take a tram and change a bus to get there. It sounds far away, but it's walkable, more on that in a minute. The view was great, and we all sat outside. Luckily the weather was great, as was throughout all the time we were in town.
The cold plate was a nice change to the schnitzel we've been having 2 days in a row 😅
After dinner, 
Finally, we reached the last day of the meetup. Quite a few people had already left by now, and a smaller group of us met up for breakfast at the train station. There was still about 15 of us. It was lovely to see them for a last time before I was due to leave. As I was drinking my coffee, suddenly the waitress came round and said she had to ask us to leave. I was a bit taken back and thought she asked us to leave because we were a big crowd and had been there for a while. It turns out there was a bomb alert and everyone had to evacuate! Multiple police cars had arrived and I could see a lot of policemen standing around.
I quickly finished my coffee, then we all walked off to one side, and hung around for a while watching the activity with 
With our breakfast meeting cut short, 
And finally for the contents of the goodie bag. I love it!! I have always wanted a Hive mug, and now I finally got one!! There's a mouse pad on the left, perfect, my old one is falling to pieces. The notepad on the right and Hive pen is very useful as is a Hive umbrella!!! And finally, we get lots of stickers! I bought two stickers (on the left), they were created by Hiveans exclusively for this event. Now I bet you are jeolous of my goodie bag and the great time we had 😄
And finally, a massive thank you to
