After returning from my fun mini-holiday in Sydney, Eddie and I had our scheduled Hot Air Balloon ride! Early in the month we tried to schedule the flight, but it had to be rescheduled due to poor weather. This time we were up and going at 4:30am in order to meet the company at the launch site. We got to help with almost every aspect of the flight, setting up the balloon and filling it with air, loading in, helping land, and putting the huge balloon and basket away. How amazing were the views! Within a few seconds we were up high in the air watching the ground below disappear. We had made it up in the air just before sunrise so we were able to watch the best views EVER of the sun, city, water, and everything as far as the eyes could see. I was going photo and video crazy, and sadly even before we took off, i had gone through my battery!! But, thankfully Eddie brought his camera so we were set for taking heaps of photos. At the end of the trip, they brought us back to where we all met up, fed as a large proper Aussie brekky, gave us really nice flight certificate's, and I even bought the video/slide show of all the photos taken while in-flight. Sooo cool!!! Best way to see anything!! :) Thanks Eddie for the adventure!!
