Inside the Love Balloon – VH-BPM
It’s pretty hard to take a photo of the balloon when you are in the basket. Part of the deal when you are ballooning you are part of the set-up and pack-up crew so there is no time for photos at the beginning and end. Luckily there is a good photo of the Love Balloon at the top of this post on the hiking fiasco website.
