Hot Air Ballooning
Slowly drifting away from the surface of the earth in the cool pre-dawn of early morning, safe in the basket of a hot air balloon, is one of the most fun things you can do before breakfast. So it’s a bit tough if you’re not a morning person, as almost all hot air balloon rides are conducted disgustingly early. But you don’t have to face the skies on a totally empty stomach. You’ll be offered tea or coffee and biscuits or muffins while you watch the crew inflating the balloon – which is almost as much fun as flying in it. A hot air balloon is a pretty weird piece of technology and, while flying in one is huge fun, it’s a totally impractical form of transport. It’s just a big bag of hot air that – well, like your science teacher told you in Grade 9 – rises. And you can’t steer the balloon; it just goes whichever way the wind blows, so the pilot tries to guess the wind direction at different altitudes and moves up or down to go left or right. Yes, it’s kind of odd. But forget about the technicalities. The important things to remember is that you will have an immense adventure trip and see some awesome scenery.
