The twins are not here with us, we have come away for a week on our own
Its been great!
As for the reason for the water, a lot of it is to catch the wind and probably to show off too.
But a wonderful experience and a must do.

Our Pilot used to own Orange Blossom Balloons but sold it a few years ago and works for this company now on a weekend.
There is plenty of heat from the burners, being tall does have its dis-advantages too! :D
Excellent photos, we are considering our first balloon flight.
Great pictures I would really love to try this.
Lovely photos:D
Did you book through this site?
Would love to do but do worry bout the landing, what was yours like?
Could the pilot navigate towards an area that you wanted?
Sorry so many questions just wondering whether to do when we are over at Christmas.:D[msnwink]
Brilliant pictures, thanks.[msnsmile2]
We have an excellent comapny who do balloon flights for us, the reports we get back are great. They use smaller baskets for a more intimate experience (some use large basket and get 10-12 per basket).

[/quote]Every day for a week prior to taking our Balloon trip a large number of balloons passed immediately over our villa. On the day we flew the wind was not in the right direction so had to go where the balloon took us.
You can certainly mention your preference but routes cannot be guaranteed unfortunately.
I travelled with a couple of nervous passengers but they soon forgot their fears and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
Helping the guys prepare the balloon prior to flying and the champagne breakfast which followed was also fun.
Not sure if they will fly where you want but it wouldn't hurt to mention it!
The baskets on these Balloons held upto 5 passengers plus the pilot.
The take off was amazing, you didn't even feel yourself lift off the ground.
The landing depends on the wind speed etc but was definately different to what I expected.
Its just so peaceful as you float through the air! The pilots work with the winds to get the balloon where they want to go, its not just a case of up up and away!
Would definately do it again. Fantastic Experience!
Plus you get Champagne & Glass and also a Certificate if you want one.:D
Fantastic photos looks great, but I am too much of a scaredy cat and would be clinging onto the edge for dear life!:D
