A Hot Air Ballon

A Hot Air Balloon

I took a trip to Hokkaido with my cousin, Amy, this summer. We had the chance to go up the sky in a hot air balloon. I did not have time to feel scared. We just climbed into the basket, being impatient for the balloon to take off. Frankly speaking, at the moment when the balloon left the ground, I wanted to call out – “I did it!”

As soon as we were in the air, Amy started taking photos. But she soon stopped to look at the breathtaking view. I also wanted to take pictures, but I forgot to take my camera with me. How stupid I was!

I remember that we got up very early that day. We spent over one hour waiting in line. However, it took us only ten minutes to finish the unforgettable trip. And it cost each of us 2,000 Japanese yen. But we thought it was a day we would never forget.
