Going airborne with the hot air balloon at 15th Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta
Friday, February 12, 2010
Me and Lace just experienced for the first time riding the hot air balloon and it floated so high and it was beautiful to see the entire field of the venue from the top. The hot air balloon floated so smooth and I didn't even noticed that we are flying already, we started to cheer ourselves and smile just to take away our fear from heights. Then I took photos and video of us going crazy above, we were with the hot air balloon operator and he manage to fire up the balloon more to reach it's limit float in the air.
The only problem is that you need to bend you knees during landing, making the hot air balloon is easy, all you have to do is stop firing up some flames to the balloon and it will just drop down to the ground. Thanks to the spring under the coach of the balloon, we just experienced a rough landing but we are okay. The operator said that the smooth and rough landing will depend on the flow of wind to the balloon.
Thanks to Marquee Mall for assisting us to ride the balloon and for the awesome all access pass, and also goodie treats from Marquee Mall.
