点评:It may have been just a bad day for the company, but this was definitely not a pleasant experience.
It was a private flight, the flight itself was O.K., nothing much to see, but, for unknown and unexplained reasons, the pilot decided to land the balloon somewhere on the edge of a marsh! As it was obvious that we could not get out of the basket, a few more shots of hot air were then sent into the balloon plus some guys on the ground pooling us with some ropes and we inched to solid ground. After that, nothing...... We had to wait there, in the middle of nowhere, for longer than the flight itself, perhaps an hour or more, until the crew came. We had to wait until the basket was loaded on a truck and only then we got in a car that drove for quite a while until we got back to base ... Why did we have to land there, why there was no coordination with the ground crew and why did we have to wait so long?!
I've been on balloon flights before, once in Bagan and twice in Sossuswlei, but this was nothing like those flights - very far from it... It was simply not a pleasant experience ...

这是一次私人飞行,飞行本身还不错,没什么可看的,但是,出于未知和无法解释的原因,飞行员决定将气球降落在沼泽边缘的某个地方!很明显,我们无法离开篮筐,然后又向气球内喷射了几口热空气,加上地面上的一些人用绳子把我们抱在一起,我们慢慢地回到了坚实的地面上。在那之后,什么也没有……我们不得不在那里,在茫茫荒野中,等待的时间比航班本身还长,也许一个小时或更长时间,直到机组人员来了。我们不得不等到篮子被装上卡车,然后我们才上了一辆汽车,开了很长一段时间,直到我们回到基地……为什么我们必须在那里降落,为什么没有与地勤人员,为什么我们要等这么久?!
我以前坐过热气球飞行,一次在蒲甘,两次在 Sossuswlei,但这和那些飞行完全不同——离它很远……这简直不是一次愉快的经历……
