Adventures of a lifetime, Part 3
Kirstie and Phil’s final adventure holiday is a much more
relaxing option: hot-air ballooning! They are now in
Morocco, between the city of Marrakech and the Atlas
Mountains. There’s only one drawback: to do this sport,
you have to get up really early. Balloons fly in the early
morning before the wind starts to blow. It’s six o’clock in
the morning now. The sun is rising over the Atlas, the sky
is blue, but the stars are still out. It’s a beautiful moment
as the dawn breaks.
Compared to the other sports we’ve seen, the wonderful
thing about flying in a hot-air balloon is the slowness and
the total silence. You feel like you’re floating and the
views are stunning. You see everything from such a
different perspective. Yes, it’s the perfect place to get
away from it all, but it’s also the most expensive of all the
trips. If you want to do it more cheaply, you can share a
balloon with other travellers. Enjoy the ride!
