The Pull of Alpine Ballooning
January 5, 2026What Am I Doing?
July 25, 2026February 14: A month has flown by. A month wrapped in a European winter – mostly in Switzerland. Yes it snowed.
How brilliant to watch the sparkles in the varying snowflakes with the snow covered mountains forming a majestic backdrop. As the balloon basket severed its ties with earth and I floated upwards the landscape below winked back at me. “You are welcome Ruth E”. Nature at her best. Thank you.
Will add a few images of my European adventure. Happy to hear from my readers… of my blog or my memoir “Conquering Clouds”. E: ruthewil@bigpond.com Cheers till next time.
SHAWN MACKINGA WHO SAVED MY LIFE IN 1989. CHAPTER 37 in Conquering Clouds covers that.
Definitely a highlight – Zermatt and the famous Swiss Matterhorn Mountain in the distance
