I wanted to go on a hot air baloon ride for a long time, and finally a great excuse occured to me - I decided to do it for my birthday.
Worried that the weather might get bad right then I checked with the organizers and all of the sudden I was supposed to do it the very next day! Whooopseee!
With me I took my two daughters and VT member's PALS
buterfly picture.
Having this beautiful butterfly fly with me added a special feeling to this unique adventure - thank you Fred!
:o)
Our pilot was Mr. Grega Trcek, a legend among Slovenian hot air baloonists.
His knowledge and experience are really amazing, the way he manages to navigate this huge baloon without any stearing, just by finding exact air currents that carry the ballon towards desired direction - amazing!
- Pros:Fantastic experience of floating, great views
- Cons:You will want to do it again and again and again ...
- In a nutshell:Absolutely uplifting!

Hello my dear friend Krista! Where have you been besides up in the air in a balloon? I have missed you. Janet
Fabulous pictures of this exciting adventure Baroness Kristina of Bevska! :-)
A super experience for you and yours. Do you use the Schwalbe 'von' now? ;-]
Hahaha, great story so I guess I can talk to you now that you are a baroness, like Zohara and I from our ballon trip in Page, Utah, USA ...welcome to royalty ^O^
Just LOVE that pic of the Slovenian village. It looks beautiful.
I never realised I was a Baron, (Baron of Salisbury) but at least I know I can communicate on your level. I´m really pleased you experienced this wonderful sport and recorded it so well with text and photos for us here :o)
Interesantno iskustvo, i zanimljiva stranica - Vasa barunska plemenitosti.
Celebrating with style & incl a nice title too :) Wonderful photos, amaizing how low you got to the water. Cheers Kristina the noble Baronessa Bevska from a lower-level ;o)
Woow Kristinca! Verjetno je bilo lepo leteti tako nizko nad zemljo, ko vse vidis se tako blizu in od zgoraj. Napravila si cudovite fotografije.
You beautifully captured a day of wonder .... I'm glad we can be uplifting to each other :)
