And the second day! That time we also got up early, but already a little later. Today everything took place in the ancient huge palace, which looked very majestic and impressive. Upon arrival, we parked (in 20 minutes) and came to look for the entrance. Thank God we saw a group of people with name tags around their necks, so we quickly found the entrance. The opening of the day was at 9:00, but we decided that we could skip the start. But the beginning was not very ordinary today. Today, the owner of this palace himself, the Roman Emperor Diocletian, will be honored to speak at the podium. He was giving a speech, but we couldn't see it because we were late. But now I think that I really regret that we didn't come on time. From all the posts and photos, I understand that it was such a cool part of that day. But when we arrived, the emperor was still there, and we were able to take a photo. But it makes no sense to be sad, and it is better to just continue the story about this day.
(Dumbledore actually looks like Voldemort here)
So we went inside. Off to the side, we walked down the corridor and immediately saw the familiar Hivefest logo. Dumbledore @gtg met us immediately at the entrance and we headed inside the hall together. In front of us was a view of a large space with chairs and a stage, and to the side you could see small snacks and drinks.
And of course we had to find a toilet, but that was another task. In these tangled corridors you could find absolutely nothing, and we wandered until we found the place we needed. And of course it's lecture time.
There were many interesting lectures from different people, and now they announced something interesting. And this is darts! Worldmappin organized a darts competition to learn the capitals of countries. You were called the capital, and you had to get as close as possible to it on the wooden map. In the end there were 3 winners. I love all kinds of games and it was engaging to play this. At first it turned out that mine and my mother's name were not recorded when we signed up for darts, and then we were added. At first, my sister shoot. She said that she doesn't throw well in general and blah blah blah, but she managed to get one of the closest places. Then my mother shoot. I did not expect this, this enchanting woman hit the spot almost perfectly, from millimeter to millimeter! Unfortunately, another participant somehow overtook her. And then it was my turn. They gave me a city that I hardly knew, but I got ready and went! My opponent and I threw almost equally close, but still he is closer. And.... @bugavi (my sister) made it to the finals! As a reward, she was given a t-shirt, but instead of it, I will wear it (of course). It was a very interesting competition and thanks @worldmappin for such a fun way to test your knowledge and abilities.
The following speeches followed. It was interesting enough to sit and try to understand something incomprehensible to you 😭. Our friend @techcoderx spoke today. He gave a speech about the quality of the idea at the expense of Hive. And another speech that I really remembered was the speech by @mynewlife and @mcsamm about the water supply project in Ghana. We finally got to see their exciting Water Direct Documentary produced by @mynewlife. I was stunned when I watched this movie. It's so engaging and inspiring, and luckily I understood everything thanks to the subtitles on the video! After that, @dedlev gave a speech about Beer Saturday, where everyone could try the beer itself.
During all this commotion, I accidentally stole a flash drive with top secret data from Dumbledore.
If you'd like I can sell it to someone for 1 billion $ (I'm tryna make a good deal)
After that, we went for a walk around the ancient palace, as my mother loves historical places.
Having gone to the ancient city inside, we saw an unusual and unique mosaic on the floor. She looked very beautiful. Then we went to the heart of the city. There was a nice view of the marina and lovely old houses.
Coming closer to the middle of the city, we found such an unusual action. In the dome-shaped room, three men sang church songs with very strong and deep voices. It sounded so blissful, especially because the dome echoed.
After that, we explored the city center a little more, and after a few minutes it started to rain, so we had to run to our car. Running to the exit, we saw pictures drawn with our fingers. So colorful and interesting!
The artist himself was interested in Hive, but we didn't tell him much because of lack of time, but I hope he'll find us on internet.
This whole day was so great and see you next day! 🏛️👑
