After many attempts we finally got to fly in the hot air balloon last Friday!
It had all started in 2006 when Michel gave me a ticket for my birthday. Since then we nearly went twice and had a couple of other cancellations. However, this time the weather conditions were good, so we actually went.
It was amazing and very exciting. We went as high as 2000 metres to catch the right wind. We went through the clouds! At that point looking down was a little scary :)
The silence was fantastic, so very peaceful. And it's not cold at all up there since you're going as fast as the wind is.
It was an hour and a half of bliss and then we had a soft landing. Now have a great experience to look back upon!
I.Envy.You!
