Goldcoast - We woke up at 3:30am for a Hot Air tour to pick us up at 4:30am. It was more than an hr before we reach the launch site.
It was cold and dark at the hot air balloon launch site. We had our jacket and hoodie up as it was very cold.
As the flame heats up the air of the balloon, we lifted off and it was surreal and it went higher and higher and eventually we could see the horizon and the houses look so small just specs on the vast Australian landscape.
We had to help deflate the Hot Air Balloon and it was a mammoth task as we had to squeeze the air out of the balloon.
So after deflating the balloon we have to put it into a big bag.
We had to hitch a ride on the truck to the road where our tour bus is. From there we arrive for our sumptuous buffet and champagne breakfast.
The vineyard was so beautiful...
From there the tour bus brought us back to our hotel
