South Island 5

My dad got me a balloon ride as a christmas gift. I stopped in Meethven to pick it up on my way to Christchurch.

Here's the balloon:


The inside while it was inflating (I had to hold it open while the fans blew air in).


little men attaching all sorts of wires.


up up up




mmm. quilty.


down down down


Bumpy landing -- dragged 50 meters on its side -- best part!


roll it up like a big tent.


& stuff it away.
