For the grand opening of the 70th season of the ‘Blooming Baroque’, the lush gardens around Ludwigsburg Palace, a team of model balloonists from all over southern Germany had organised something special: Over 80 model balloons should inflate all around the gardens and add colourful spots to the lavishly planted flower fields.<\/p>\n
What worked extremely well on the calm Friday evening – we even set a new world record for the largest display of model hot air balloons with 81 little aerostats – became much more challenging on Saturday and Sunday, with strong gusts whipping all over the park. We tried to inflate the models in shaded areas, but it was a fight all the less.<\/p>\n
Despite all the efforts, we had great fun meeting model balloon friends old and new and enjoyed the mostly perfect and swift organisation which went remarkably well for a first time event of this scale – our recognition and thanks to the team that made it all possible! :-)<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
