This is what you get as a reward for early morning lift offs-Heatherlea East Rd I think.

Still slowly heading south and still with the main group .... for now.

Well the sight is breath-taking; a town worth seeing from the air.It is so quiet up in the balloon.

View across to Hokio Beach.

Sunday pm. Well it takes a time, but all good things take time.

still worth a look

The opening and Humpty arrived to amazing Levin support.

Looking over the Lake on the splash and dash morning ( Saturday).

Well it's time to see Levin from the sky ...view looking south via market gardens heading for Lake Horowhenua.

The chase is never fast as we only go as fast as the balloon, which is not very fast. Sometimes there is no wind- we wait till Scott finds a gust, then the slow chase starts.We keep looking up so as not to lose our balloon.Taken over central park Levin on Good Friday morning.

Scotts nice balloon taken at the local Levin pool on Friday,about 5.30 pm.

Sunday pm and still flying; now south to north, Murray's farm ;all getting ready;Scott's balloon.

The first mass ascension for the festival, 7am Good Friday at the New World Carpark, Levin.

Going up up ...ya ya... here we go night glow time again.
