This was a wonderful and well planned trip. With a 5am start, we were driven to the site and had croissants and coffee whilst watching five balloons being inflated against the backdrop of the softly lit Berber tent. We had our balloon ride, which was a bit shorter than anticipated because the wind was strong and we reached the boundary quickly but we had good views underneath, saw the sunrise through cracks in the clouds, and any questions we had were answered well. The pilot was humerous- especially when we had to crouch in the basket for take off and landing. We had a lovely traditional and relaxed fresh breakfast when back at the camp then drove back, stopping at the camel riding place for a ride through the palm trees with baby camels trotting alongside. We got back by 10:30 ready for the rest of the day.
