well I kinda freaked out when we were so high up there- I was holding on to the basket tightly, but of course, later I just chilled out, i am not going to let my fear of falling get the hold of me. I am not wasting 150USD for that ride no! hehehe.
Grabe ang init ha! Tas there were soooo many people.... But the best weather so far was on the day we flew..the flight was smooth because we were just going with the wind direction...
If you plan to, make sure you come super early and list up immediately and never leave the registration post. It was a bit disorganised. It's 150USD per person. :)
Wow suwerte mo! You were able to ride the balloon! Hanggang ground lang ako! hahaha!
ReplyDeleteoo nga ako din sa baba lang nanuod lang
