| We had hoped to fly over our villa Anita, but the wind wasn't in the right direction this time, so we will just have to try again next time 
Al took all the video and I took the pics, not up to Snapper's standards but hey we enjoyed it  |

| Hi Rosie
Looks like great fun. I would love to do that but not sure about the rest of the family - hubby definitely wouldn't as he doesn't like heights - shame! I think you've got me hooked now that I've seen your pictures though! How long does the flight last? Oh yes, and how much if you don't mind me asking? |

| Shocked at the number of balloons too I can honestly say I have never seen any when visiting, It looks so spectacular Rose, what an adventure, and a wonderful gift too | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |

| The flights last anything from 45 minutes to over an hour, we were actually up for nearly 2 hours and had to land somewhere as we were running out of fuel, hence the landing in the orange groves
Paul, we took off about 5 miles up the 27 from the 192 junction and we were meant to land at Wallabys on Dean Steel road, just off the 27, but didnt quite make it, and ended up nearer Auburndale than Orlando LOL.
It really wasn't scary at all, and I will do it again next time I'm there  |

| | And to think that on March 6th, I sat on the patio of a Highlands Reserve villa watching those very balloons pass over while enjoying my morning coffee. Such a small world. |

I too have been in the pool when they flew over, this was the year before last and it was a magical moment. It was my early morning swim and all the rest of the family were asleep. Didn't get a picture, wish I had.  |
