One thing we have wanted to do for quite some time is ride in a hot air balloon. Until now we either haven't had the time, or the place wasn't right. However there is not much of a better place to go in a balloon then in Kenya.
Some elephants roaming in the forest. Still pretty high. It was a little difficult to get the camera to focus. It took a couple of tries but I think we go some pretty good ones.
I had to do the stretched out arm picture again, from the balloon with the beautiful Mara in the background.
The Pilot had a camera on a string so that he would be able to get a picture of all of us, I think it turned out pretty good.
Early morning, pre-sunrise getting fired up. It was a little chilly in the morning but close to the burner was quite warm.
Both of us looking cool pre-flight.
Sunrise on the Mara!
Can you see right in the middle, the Giraffe? We were pretty high up at this point.

A lot of Zebras and Antelopes called Topi. Remember this was pre great migration time. I can only imagine what it is like during the migration.

A nice smooth landing.
Enjoying a wonderful time. We had breakfast and a game drive to compliment out balloon trip.
A nice glass of champagne by the rivers edge to toast a beautiful morning.

Wow. You guys are having the coolest adventures. (That might be a note of jealousy there, maybe.)
