Every sunrise and sunset, a white or a yellow hot air balloon can be seen floating low across the sky in Vang Vieng.
On our final morning in Vang Vieng, the yellow balloon was ours. It was the first time any of us had been ballooning and what a way to say goodbye. We got off to a scary start as the balloon threatened to tip over, but once the 12+ men let go, we shot straight up into the air. We were in the air for about an hour total and about 15 minutes into the ride, the sun rose over the mountains…Pictures are better than words right?
Ballooning Highlights:
- Watching the sun pop up over the mountains.
Ballooning Tips:
- Just do it!
- Take a camera.
Wow! The one looking down on the coloured boats is my fav.
gorgeous.
that sunrise…am going to northern bali in august, but i wish i were there now after seeing your recent posts. sigh.
I’m sure Bali will be just as gorgeous. My sister’s boyfriend is going there for a surfing trip soon. Jealous. I have the travel bug. It’s expensive to cure.
Oh! so awesome. I didn’t even think about doing something like this when I was there, incredible photos – love it. Getting all nostalgic 🙂
