Tumbling out last air of the balloon's envelope. After we touched down at 15.41 MET (1441 UTC) a small crowd of local people helped us kindly to deflate our balloon. Especially the children had big fun because we allowed them to do the fine tu(r)ning.

Michael started about half an hour after us The pre flight preparations on the launch site usually costs 40 to 60 minutes with the help of our undrilled pessangers. Trained teams might handle it in 15 to 20 minutes. But I prefer the stressless slow kind with more plessure.
