Hot air ballooning in Melbourne, Australia

Hot Air Ballooning over Melbourne

This morning I went hot air ballooning over Melbourne. Wow, what an amazing experience! We flew with a company called Balloon Sunrise, I can’t speak highly enough of them - very professional, safe, efficient and funny. Whats more there was a glass of champaign with our 5 star buffet breakfast at the Grand Hyatt to finish off, how could it get any better.

Hot air ballooning was an inspiring experience, silently floating over Melbourne’s CBD enabled us to gain a birds eye view of some of Melbourne’s most famous landmarks - Port Phillip Bay, The Arts Centre, MCG and the Bolte Bridge. I was even considering become a hot air balloon pilot, although I think that whim was more full of hot air than anything else!?!

Hot air ballooning at sunrise provided some fantastic photo opportunities. I will upload them to my Flickr page, so watch out for some hot air.

    […] So off we went: zooming down the Maroondah Highway; coasting through the Yarra Valley and the obligatory Hot Air Balloons; salivating through Healesville at the thought of the almighty burger; winding through the Black Spur and the trees that make you feel two feet tall; and finally speeding into Buxton in an attempt to stop our hungrily grumbling stomaches.
