my photos of hot air balloon and melbourne from a hot air balloon on may 24th saturday 2008

finally just got my son to upload photos from my hot air ballooning experience both photos were taken by me on saturday may 24th 2008 celebrating my fiftieth birthday present. it took me just over 12 months to use my gift voucher

partly through  a time and weather factor but mostly from my fear of heights. i kept  delaying it til i knew i couldnt delay any further without forfeiting the gift.

i conquered my fears i actaully wrote an advice blog about it.

the hot air balloon you see is of another one that was in the sky and ive taken the photo while we were in mid air in another hot air balloon .

the view of melbourne was taken just as we are approaching my beloved princes park (carltons old football ground) oh so many memories of watching the carlton greats the likes of nichols  jezza (jessaulenko) sergio silvani southby doull maclure kernaghan just to name a few .............

it was just before we landed at  royal park . these memories will stay with me forever. in fact i loved the experience so much

cheers annie

My husband and son are looking forward to go up the Empire State building when they go to New York in November, I shall be hoping they are ok. We as a family wentto the top of Cologne Cathdral in 1980 and we all loved. A hot air balloon is something else and I know hubby would love that.

yeah ive been up the eiffel tower . i would love to go up on the sydney harbour bridge  not in the car lol you climb it at the top you  wear a special harness and you walk this special plank where the frame is on the very top

you go up there with a group and a tour guide. my older son did this with his friends about 5 years ago and he has photos of himself and friends in their special gear. they all looked so excited and happy

empire state building in new york im sure your husband and son will enjoy that  lol

cheers annie

hi sandra

everything was just surreal . like watching myself in a movie. everything kinda happened as if it was "meant to happen"

similar feeling to dejavu.

as if i knew what was goig to happen and just accepting it . like i knew i was going to take those next steps

my experience started from the morning back in march 2007 when i was drawn to my bedroom window of that soosh noise just to see hot air balloons ib the sky.

i had seen hot airballoons in the sky before but this was different something attracted me to them that morning like a magnet draws metals to it. i still cant explain this.

so when i was asked what i wanted for my birthday i knew that this was it

cheers annie

Annie the pics are awesome! I think the one overlooking the city should be a postcard! You are so lucky to have had that experience, thanks for sharing the pics with us!
