So we decided to take a hot air balloon ride, as skydiving is a more dangerous activity. We were very happy with the flight, and on top of that we got a discount, so the hourly flight cost a little less for each person. There were 11 of us in the basket - at first I thought this would be a big disadvantage, but as it turned out, it only added to the excitement of the flight. It was a storm of emotions, funny comments, like a party in the air))

Almost inflated the balloon
Putting the hot air balloon on the ground... The balloon was quite big
It was quite hot standing right under the burner

The takeoff was very fast, we didn't have time to think!

Hello Earthlings! :)
We are definitely flying over Makarov
That's the top view
Well, I won't share the rest of the photos and videos for now. We accidentally hit a tree with the basket and waded into the lake up to our knees - I'll never forget that. Then we drank champagne, joked and laughed.
It was a lot of fun and very unusual. According to Gennadiy, the weather was extremely favorable for the flight and the landing was soft.
