Can you spot the château wwwaaayyy in the distance? And another balloon even further away?

  • Getting the balloon out.
  • First, blow enough air into the balloon so that is is inflated somewhat...
  • More air...
  • A little more...
  • Keep going...
  • That's good.
  • Now, start heating up the air inside the balloon while still putting more air in.
  • Starting to look like a hot air balloon.
  • Keep on heating.
  • Closer to full.
  • Almost there...
  • And, we're good. The cage is now upright as well. (You did notice that is was on its side before, right?)
  • I never realized there were so many vents and control lines within the balloon itself.
  • The two other balloons were from a different company.
  • Good bye! Hope to see you wherever, whenever.
  • We have lift off!
  • See our shadow?
  • Off to Chenonceau/Chenonceaux.
  • Can you spot the château wwwaaayyy in the distance? And another balloon even further away?
  • Happy people in the balloon basket.
