Hot Air Balloon

Pictures from when I went in a hot air balloon over the tomb of numerous rulers as well as Hatchepsut’s temple. :] One of my favorite memories in Egypt. I would do it again anytime.

This is what makes the balloon go!

And of course I had to get a pic of me in the sky!

These are the handles we had to grip for our landing.

My favorite picture! Inside of the hot air balloon as the fire is going!

And they had to tackle the balloon once we landed.

Here are some balloons landing.

Again, one of my favorite experiences in Egypt.

And here they are tackling the balloon once again, after we have landed and the sun has already risen.

And now it’s has finally deflated.

Sunrise in Luxor…a view from the hot air balloon.

And this is the mark the balloons make when they land. Some cool stuff.
