We have seven friends from the States visiting us this week and one brave soul decided to take a hot air balloon ride over the châteaux. As a result, I got to see the launching up close. Below is a series of shots showing the balloon and its basket being unloaded and then the balloon being inflated, first with two large fans and then with the burners. It's a fascinating and exciting process.
I tried it once. Never again unless I have to escape!
ReplyDeleteOur friend's ride went without problems and she really enjoyed it. But it's not for everyone!
