Flight – What a wonderful invention

Earlier this year I booked a hot-air balloon flight for Katherine’s birthday. With Melbourne’s dry spell predicted to continue I expected the flight to be sometime in June – well come mid-August we hadn’t had any luck. Finally we managed to get a beautiful day in Melbourne on Wednesday. Following are some of the photo’s of Melbourne from the flight. Enjoy!

Finishing work last Friday was a different experience – something that I hadn’t experienced before. When the glass door on Level 12 shut behind me – it signalled the end of an era. I’ve worked with some great people over my time there.

Katherine and I headed to Adelaide on Saturday morning by car – yes that’s right, by car. The road trip was a 9 hour journey – it wasn’t bad – just a little tired come midnight. All in all Adelaide is a pretty, well-planned little city.

After coming back from Adelaide on Tuesday night, our hot-air balloon flight on Wednesday morning was magical. When I get some time I will be putting the photos up so you can see what a magical experience it is up 1000 feet in the air suspended from cables connected to a massive 200,000 cubic metres of air.

Stay safe.
