There are not many things in life I would wake up at 4:30am.
The hot air balloon ride has been on my bucket list for what feels like forever, so getting up was easy!
The next hour was a whirlwind: a coffee and pastry breakfast, a safety briefing and a car journey 40km out of Prague to the take-off site.
We continued to rise and fly, up up and away.
Flying in the open air, feeling the wind and sun on my face was absolutely incredible feeling.
I thought the view from a plane was impressive. Ha! Wait until you see the birds-eye view of the ground below from the hot air balloon - fields, rivers, lakes and animals. Being up in the sky is so peaceful, perfect opportunity to take it all in.
After about an hour, we descended over a corn field.
We raised a glass of champagne to toast the flight, a tradition started in 1783 by the Mongolfier brothers who piloted the first hot air balloon flight.
Bubbles for breakfast? Don't mind if I do!

Was it worth it?
Totally. Wonderfully smooth and tranquil flight with the best window 'seat' you will ever have. An unforgettable experience, one I am hoping to repeat in Myanmar and fly over temples in Bagan.
Remember
Fill your life with experiences, not things. Have stories to tell, not stuff to show.
