Hot Air Balloon Flights

Flight 24 July 2010

Good day Sunfunners!

What an absolute pleasure this flight was!

Smiles, laughs, nervous giggles, hot coffee, handsome pilots and colourful balloons… what more could we need? ;)

We had stunning weather Saturday morning, with clouds beautifully decorating the background.

Mother nature supplied us with calm winds so our passengers did not travel very far. Slowly drifting from tree-top

to tree-top with Golden Oriole birds welcoming them with their songs until the balloons were too high to hear the music.

The flight lasted around a hour, with balloons dancing around each other in mid-air.

Thank you all for spending the morning with Sun Fun

Flight 17 July 2010

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr what a chilly morning!!

Minus 8!

But still a fantastic morning, and with sherry being served the cold definately will not get the better of us :) .

The Gauteng region had a cold front that passed over us early this past weekend, so we (always seeing

safety as our first priority) were weighing our options and considered cancelling this flight at a stage.

But luckily :) the weather improved and we could go ahead with giving our guests

an experience of a lifetime!

On our flight we had 8 half frozen happy guests :)

Alison, Noel, Dirk, Wilma, Dennis, Leanne, Cindy and Charles with Noel, Dirk, Leanne and Charles all celebrating

their birthdays with us.

Thank you for sharing your happiness and love with Sun Fun.

Have a blessed week SunFunners!

Flight 11 July 2010

And yet another weekend comes to an end.

But fortunately not on a boring note. The Fifa World Cup 2010 came to a brilliant end last night with Spain walking away as the ultimate winners! Congratulations to them and to all their fans :) .

Yesterday morning we had a lovely group of people with us on our flight.

Herman, Zinia, Mashudu, Sibusiso, Ilze and David were a lot of laughs and fun.

Sibusiso was treated to the hot air experience for his birthday and we thank him and Mashudu for making Sun Fun part

of the spoiling :) .

Our flight took off at around 6:45, and landed about a hour later. The group

landed in a mielie-field between Magaliesburg and Randfontein.

Thank all of you for flying with us, please feel free to share your comments and photographs.

Have a fabulous week everyone!

Flight 4 July 2010

Good day Sunfunners! c”,)

Here you are :) I promised to make all of you famous!

Sunday morning was not as cold as other mornings. Four degrees warmer dan previous flight mornings at a chilly -2 degrees. Our guests had hot coffee and soothing Sherry to help them stand brave against the cold.

The balloon left for the heavens at 6:45 and there were smiles all the way!

Marco, Marie-Christine, Gabriella, Charlotte, Patrick, Alan, Heather and Terry-lynn were super flight passengers and we are proud to call them SunFun friends c”,)

After the flight everyone had sparkling wine and orange juice, just before being taken back for a delicious breakfast.

Thank all of you for choosing SunFun and for the laughs :-) .
