A day and Night glow at BRISTOL INTERNATIONAL BALLOON FIESTA 2024 | Vlog

[@carolinegoode9564]

What a great day out. Nice to see all the balloons at the end. A long day for you. 😊

[@SouthWestSundays]

Yes! 43 hours I was awake as I had not slept since 0530 the day before. After a late finish there my coach home from Bristol was delayed by an hour and a half. Got home at 0245 (24 hours after I had left for my day out!)

Really enjoyed watching this. I can’t believe the size of the event

[@SouthWestSundays]

Yes, it’s huge. It’s come a very long way from small beginnings. I have just been reading the history of it and how much it costs to host this free event.

What a fantastic video of a really great day - you captured the night glow 🌟 really well! Thanks for an enjoyable meet up. It is a super event even if the balloons don't fly. Thanks for meeting up Louise! Take care, Paul

[@SouthWestSundays]

Thank you Paul! It was such a fun day and really nice to meet up! I forgot to mention how good the ice cream was in this video!

[@ltlawithamanda]

Such a fun event Louise. I loved the apple race and the night glow. I can't believe it's been going 46 years, wow! Shame the mass assent didn't happen. Particularly after your very early start. So nice you met up with Paul. 😊

[@SouthWestSundays]

Thank you Amanda! Yes, it was disappointing about the mass ascent, but I have seen it the last two days on social media as conditions were better.

[@ltlawithamanda]

​@@SouthWestSundaysah that's good 😊

Hi Louise, what a wonderful event, it's a shame about the weather conditions but still a fantastic day with so much to see. The night glow was amazing. Thank you for sharing. Best wishes Dave and ❤️

[@SouthWestSundays]

Thank you Dave and Dawn. Yes,the night glow was amazing. It lasted about half an hour I think and the music was hair raisingly amazing! It was a medley of all sorts of music put together by BBC Radio Bristol.

Me too!!

Love video of the fiesta Louise! Yeah, it was far too windy yesterday for an ascent to happen, could tell as soon as I felt work it wasn't going to happen - they need low winds at ground level and the right wind speed going in the right direction at a certain height (otherwise they end up in the channel!.) So glad you enjoyed the night glow - it's always a highlight 😊

[@SouthWestSundays]

Thanks Jesse! It really was amazing - particularly the night glow! Yes, so much has to come together for them to take off. I look forward to hopefully seeing them another year.

[@TedCarolCollins]

Fortunate the night glow could go ahead it was certainly worth waiting for.

[@SouthWestSundays]

It really was! The music they used was really powerful too and you could feel the music aswell as hear it while seeing the illuminated balloons.

Oh poor Louise you get up at 3am all excited for the day.. arrive at 6am after a lengthy journey to go to a hot air balloon show and guess what... we should have known...no balloons could take off due to wind....Does the comedy and laughs never stop with your videos😂😂😂.....I know I am terribly cruel but I cannot state enough how funny this made the video😂😂😂. I have no idea why your videos were recommended to me but I am so glad they were, you keep the laughs coming I love it... Anyway I must tell you off Louise😂 I was taken by surprise with this video upload, sneaking it in before Sunday so my comment wasn't fully prepared😂😂😂

[@SouthWestSundays]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Your comment was absolutely brilliant!! So pleased that KZbin recommended my videos to you!

[@thewalkingvegan]

Really enjoyed thus video, thank you 😊

[@SouthWestSundays]

Thank you! That makes me happy to know 🤗

[@faithg9766]

My goodness that was a long day for you. What a great event, even if the balloons didn't fly, you can feel the fun atmosphere.

[@SouthWestSundays]

Thank you Faith!! Ah! I am so pleased the fun atmosphere came across! I ended up being awake for 43 hours due to a number of reasons. 🤣

[@faithg9766]

No way, you would have been delirious after that.

[@SandyLouise-o4w]

Such a shame they didn't go up, my daughter went up to see it too.. Great video though.

[@SouthWestSundays]

It is a shame. If only we could control the weather 🤣. Thank you! Pleased you enjoyed it 🤗
