Balloon flight
I was a little bit afraid when we started to take off, but we had an experienced pilot, so the flight was safe. We had beautiful view on historical centre, castle and surroundings. When we landed, big surprise came......
When you fly with balloon for a first time, the pilot makes a christening ritual and you become baron or baroness of the region where you land.The christening ritual is performed on behalf of 4 elements: ground, fire, wind and water. On behalf of ground, from which the balloon takes off and lands happily, the pilot took the earth from the ground and spilled it on our heads. On behalf of fire, which gives power to balloon to take off, he fired a lock of hair to all of us. Fortunately we did not burn out. He immediately blew it out on behalf of wind, which blows away the balloon to good direction. Finally on behalf of water as a donor of life on the Earth, the pilot opened champagne and poured it out on our heads and we became aristocrats.
