Victoria Trip Aug 2018 Day 8 Part 1 ~ Yarra Valley Hot Air Balloon

The day when we woke up super early for our Hot Air Balloon! Day started with coffee/ tea at the hotel reception!


And after a short safety briefing, we were transported to the take off site by a mini van. 



Firing up in progress. Which took pretty long.





Other balloons getting ready ahead of us.




Filming it, keeping us entertained while waiting for our balloon.



Alot of work to get the balloon up!



Spamming photos while waiting.




Fire!








Finally up!




And we climbed into the basket lol.


We're packed but it kinda feel safer lol.








Other balloons taking off.



Then our turn!


Followed by spamming photos all ard lol. Making the trip worth it.










































Wide view!


























































Getting ready to land~









Believe the very neat grass patch was one of the wineries!


















After we landed, we all helped to keep the balloon which was a big tedious task! Pretty tiring. 
So we headed back to the hotel for breakfast! As we had bf inclusive with our stay, we opted out from the ballooning package but we sat at the same table for bf.




Hot chocolate!


That's the end of our (very expensive) exciting ballooning experience!
