One of the most awesome things we have ever done. Saw kangaroos and the sun rise followed by a great champagne breakfast. Great way to start the day
Hot air ballooning over the Hunter Valley in Australia certainly gives a lush #Green view. We escaped from the city for one night to experienced something I've always wanted to do. Floating over the manicured vineyards, kangaroos and green fields was a peaceful and exciting escape. And to top it all off we ended with a champagne breakfast #australia #flying #green
Sunrise over a slightly foggy Hunter Valley, from a hot air balloon! The ride was gentle and we felt very safe. Highly recommend for a one night getaway from Sydney - expensive but worthwhile and with a Champagne breakfast included! I booked through Beyond Ballooning - they give you a full refund if they cancel due to weather which I think is necessary if you don't live in the area and might not have time to reschedule #hotairballooning #adventure #view #australia
