I was waiting for that post and as it wasn't coming I was wondering if you missed Hivefest after all. Plus that I have seen every picture posted and I haven't seen (or recognised you) in any of them. Missing the actual event made me consume the relative posts almost in an obsessed way!
But you are right
I cannot say, I truly know someone until I meet them, hear their voices, see their expressions...
Hopefully next time.
Anyway now I know why it took you so long to write it. It is the most elaborated, the most complete post I have read about Hivefest!
Reading you thinking so highly of Croatia (which I love) gave me a pinch of jealousy and the idea that one Hivefest should be organised in Greece. I just have to figure out how to avoid sunburns of the light-skinned Hivians under the hot Greek sun :)
Cheers from Greece!
