BALLOONING

OUR BALLOON FLIGHT

For my 60th the Clark's gave me a balloon flight. Early in December I booked the flight and one for Phil (his Christmas present). We had to be up at 3.30am to check in that the flight was happening and then be at the Hilton on the Park by 5.30am. Once we had checked in and everyone had arrived we were taken to Burnley Park were we launched from. The morning was calm not a breath of wind as we rose into the predawn sky. Must say it was one of the most exciting things we have done and to watch the sunrise over the city was beautiful.

We landed back at Essendon airport and after we had helped to pack up the balloon we headed back into the city to the Hilton for breakfast which was something else. What ever you thought you fancied for breakfast was available. Needless to say we over ate but it was worth it.

Thank you Trish for the great present.
