点评:What a wonderful experience! And it was an experience too, not just a ride in a hot air balloon where you turn up, climb in, go for a little trip and then push off. We were all invited to participate in the preparation of the balloon, after which our pilot, Robert, gave us a thorough run down of safety procedures. It was a beautiful day, if a tad chilly, and during our flight we enjoyed some glorious views over the Waveney valley and the Suffolk and Norfolk countryside, with vistas as far as the North and East coasts and the sea. Robert is clearly a very experienced pilot, and explained many aspects of the flight to us. After a skilful landing in a field, we helped to pack away the balloon and enjoyed a lovely glass of bubbly before a taxi arrived to take us back to the hotel where our cars were parked. I have wanted to fly in a balloon since I was a kid. I’m so glad I was able to do so. A word of warning though: you may have to be patient. The weather has to be pretty well perfect for a flight to go ahead, so if you book one of these flights, you may be lucky and get airborne first time, or you may find that you have to book again and again before you actually manage to get off the ground. It can be pretty discouraging. But persevere! It is definitely worth it, and I can heartily recommend it.
翻译:多么美妙的体验!这也是一次体验,而不仅仅是乘坐热气球,你先上去,爬进去,飞一小段,然后推下去。我们都被邀请参与气球的准备工作,之后我们的飞行员罗伯特向我们详细介绍了安全程序。那天天气很好,只是有点冷,在飞行过程中,我们欣赏到了韦弗尼山谷、萨福克郡和诺福克郡乡村的壮丽景色,远眺北海岸、东海岸和大海。罗伯特显然是一位经验丰富的飞行员,他向我们解释了飞行的许多方面。在田野上熟练地降落后,我们帮忙收拾气球,喝了一杯美味的香槟,然后出租车来了,把我们送回了我们停车的酒店。我从小就想坐气球飞行。我很高兴我能做到。不过要提醒一句:你可能得有耐心。天气必须非常完美才能让航班起飞,所以如果你预订了这些航班,你可能会很幸运,第一次就能起飞,或者你可能会发现你必须一次又一次地预订,才能真正起飞。这可能相当令人沮丧。但要坚持下去!这绝对值得,我衷心推荐。
