My family was at the 15th Hot Air Balloon Championship which was held not far from our house, which is only about 2 km away. This championship was organized by the FAI (Fédération Aéronautique Internationale) and CIA (Commission Internationale d'Aérostation). Held annually in Magdeburg at the Elbauenpark. As many as 30 nations and about 800 air-sportsmen took part in this championship. The highlight was the balloon glow at night and performances by Boney M and various German artists. What a nostalgic listening to Boney M singing Sunny, Rasputin, Holiday, Daddy Cool and not forgetting, By the River of Babylon. I'm sure you guys still remember this disco-dance repertoires!!! OK, enjoy these pictures below.
