Hot Air Balloon

[Flyerfly]

In the mood of writing trip report today (well, the truth is it is raining cats and dogs outside and I can’t walk home from the office and there is absolutely zero zilch nada taxi) …

Presenting a hot air balloon trip taken a year ago … in Perth …

Woke up at 4am and boarded this to the launch site …




Preparation in progress …






Our cabin for the next hour or so …




Gentlemen, start your engine …




More more more …




Almost ready …




Off we go …

View from the top ..






After popping the question, out come the celebratory champagne …OK sparking wine …








Celebratory flame




More view …




Preparing to land .. while overlying an airfield ..




Ladies and Gentlemen thank you for flying Air Balloon. Now, time to help packing up the freaking heavy balloon …




Finished off the wonderful morning with a hearty breakfast …






Thanks for sharing my joy!!

I think SQtalk have had trip reports on planes, hotels, boats and trains. This might be a first. Thanks for sharing!
