A Balloon Flight experience as narrated by a customer
Our Balloon Flight Experience began pretty early that morning, when their cheerful crew came and picked us up at our hotel. My friends and I were brimming with anticipation and threw a barrage of questions at the crew, which they answered happily.
Soon, we reached the launch site and were greeted with a scene of bustling activity. The mammoth balloons were being unwrapped and we immediately whipped out our cameras to record this unusual sight. We met our pilot, who then got busy lighting what looked like a flame-thrower and the fire began to heat up the air inside the balloon. The fabric swelled out majestically, the balloon became upright and our air chariot was ready for us.
We were helped into the basket – I believe it’s called a gondola – and made ourselves comfortable. Then, it seemed as if someone released the invisible ropes that tie us to mother earth, we swayed a little, there was a sudden flare of flames above us… and we were up, up and away.
We were lifted gently, watching the earth fall away below us. Soon, we were flying over forts and castles, craggy mountains, sandy stretches and green plains. We dipped down to kiss the waters of a limpid lake, then floated up again. We flew over towns and villages, even spotted a herd of deer. None of us had ever seen the world from this perspective. There’s no rush, no urgency, no whirring of engines. It’s peaceful, serene and incredibly beautiful.
There’s no feeling quite like it, nothing on earth that can match the magic of floating on air, the sense of being at one with the sky and looking down at a world that is looking up at you!
Before we knew it, our hour-long flight was over and we reached the landing site. The retrieval crew was on hand to receive us and we each got a Certificate of First Flight duly signed by the pilot.
