I always remember happy trips and exciting festivals i experience to witness.
Last year, 2010, I went to 15th Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta was held in Clark Freeport, Pampanga from February 11 to 14, 2010. It is an annual event that features not just hottest balloons but also different aerial exhibitions such as sky diving , aircraft flight demonstration , Aerobic Airshow, Kite Flying competition, and many more .
Me and my husband were able to attend the last day which is Feb. 14, our Valentine’s day date actually. We left Manila in the evening of Feb 13, arrived at Clark before midnight. All hotels were fully booked! So we just strolled around Clark , stay in McDonald’s until 2 am.
We were at the venue around 4:30 AM. The queue to the parking area, as well as the main entrance of the show area was very long. But you can see the excitement from the people.
It was amazing to witness how hot air balloons unfolded from the trucks ,get inflated , burst with fire and finally fly up up away to the sky !
At around 6 am the Philppine National anthem was played with a sky jumper carrying a Philippine Flag.
Moments later , the beautiful sky was filled with different shapes and varied colors of flying balloons !
It was also a great venue for photo enthusiasts, amateur and professionals, with their cp cameras, digicams, videocams, high end cameras and even webcam from their laptops !
It was a fun-filled weekend , full of surprises, filled with everything that flies ! I always hope to be back !!!
