Hot air balloon @Putrajaya
Putrajaya 2nd Hot Air Balloons 2010
This is the 2nd event after a hugely successful fiesta when it was first introduced last year. We were told that more than 60 hot air balloons were supposed to be participating this time around, yet only 23 were accepted due to the limited space in the fiesta area. Nonetheless, because of the rarity of hot air balloons flying in our country, the organizer is expecting more than 200,000 crowds flooding the area.
As expected, no rain today — yet the weather was very dull, hot and cloudy. Not expecting much, we did manage to get some photos of the balloons. Judging from the massive traffic jams and extreme difficulties in getting space to par cars; this should be an easy number for them to meet… still, the show today was so uninteresting and pale!
Well, we hope to see this continuing to be an annual event; needs more space for the launch sites tho’ and hopefully more balloons and blue sky in future!
Note to self: wake up at 6am tmrw for hot air balloon ride!
