We were looking forward to the 6th Andalo Vola in the Italian Dolomits for a long time.
Claudio Capelli invited us for the third time to stay with some other kitefliers in the hotel costaverde. In the parco sportivo of Andalo we should show the public kiteflying for the next 10 days.
The weather was better than last year even if we had rain every day. But the sun was shining every day, too.
The best was the wind. It was blowing with the same strength in the morning and in the afternoon.
We had to move 150m to a much better place because a new building is planned at the old festival ground. Between a lot of trees we had a lot of space for our luggage and tents. There we tried to fly our kites without touching the trees.
We had fantastic days with our friends from Austria again. Lena loves them all very much So we had a lot of moments Lena doesn’t take care of her parents.
Like last year we had a big highlight with „kites on ice“ on thursday evening. There was a little rehearsal on tuesday before, where we testesd how it feels to stay on the ice again after one year.
We met in the ice rink on thursday afternoon to build up all our kites which we want to fly in the evening. So we only had to put on our skates in the evening and „kites on ice“ could start.
We showed our different kites with loud applause and jubilation by the public. The best: we animated two kitefliers to skate after a lot of years without skating. Only to be part of this fantastic evening, Maria te Corte Vinken and Paul Reynolds went on the ice – very cool!!!
Unfortunately both nightflights must be cancelled because of the rain. Anyway we had a really good week with a lot of friends. If it will be possible we like to come back again in 2012.
Many thanks to Claudio Capelli for these fantastic days!
