Take
a flight over Bristol |

Most
of the Fiesta weekend was a wash out, but we did see balloons fly
on Friday night when there was a break in the weather.
BBC Bristol Online was in the basket of the very first balloon to
take off from Ashton Court this year. Check out some of the pictures
from the flight.
The Bertie
balloon flies over some allotments in Bristol.
It's a
shame City were at the Sixfield Stadium this weekend - perhaps a hot-air
balloon would have been an ideal distraction for the Northampton fans
whose team were on the end of a 3-nil tonking.
A familiar
sight of balloons flying over Bristol - just less of them this year.
The Harbourside,
lit up by the only bit of sunshine we got this weekend.
The long
shadows show how late the flights were on Friday night.
