点评:We travelled to Canberra to take this ride and it was well worth the effort. Everyone working for Balloon Aloft Canberra is friendly and keen to make your experience memorable. Debbie in the office was always attentive and willing to help. Kim, who was our pilot, was interesting and also conscious of the need to provide a good flying experience, which is excellent for his passengers. And the three men attending the flight, to inflate the balloon, to meet it at the landing site, to pack it away, and to drive us back to our starting point, were all friendly and talkative and welcoming.
The flight itself is magnificent. We lifted off just before dawn on a clear day, with showers visible in the northern distance. The balloon quickly ascended and then floated gently over lakes, where water fowl scurried from the approaching vessel, and fields, where cattle bellowed in alarm, and houses where dogs dashed about and young children waved up. In no time at all the sun was rising and casting a soft orange glow across Lake Burley Griffin, the surrounding countryside and your companions. It is a special time of the day and this is a fabulous way to experience it. It was a trip back in history to a time when no other form of flight was known. Incredibly, it is till here today, delivering a unique experience that will be remembered always.
The landing was fun and even helping to pack away was its own experience, with passengers invited to walk around inside the deflating balloon and to help expel the remaining air and compress the nylon bag. Every part of this day was fabulous.
We are grateful to Debbie, Kim and their crew for making this life-long memory one we will always cherish. I have no hesitation in recommending Balloon Aloft Canberra to anyone considering a hot air balloon flight. You will not be disappointed.
翻译:我们专程前往堪培拉体验这次热气球之旅,绝对不虚此行。堪培拉热气球公司(Balloon Aloft Canberra)的每一位员工都热情友好,竭力为乘客打造难忘的体验。办公室的黛比总是细心周到,乐于助人。我们的飞行员金风趣幽默,而且非常注重为乘客提供优质的飞行体验,这一点尤其令乘客满意。负责充气、在着陆点迎接、收拾气球以及送我们返回出发点的三位工作人员也都非常友善健谈,热情好客。
飞行本身令人叹为观止。我们在一个晴朗的日子里,黎明前升空,远处北方隐约可见阵雨。热气球迅速升空,然后缓缓飘过湖面,水禽纷纷躲避着飞来的气球;飘过田野,牛群发出惊叫;飘过房屋,狗狗们在屋檐下奔跑,孩子们挥手致意。转眼间,太阳升起,柔和的橙色光芒洒满伯利格里芬湖、周围的乡村以及你的同伴们。这是一天中最特别的时刻,而乘坐热气球正是体验这一刻的绝佳方式。这仿佛是一次穿越时空的旅行,回到了飞行方式尚不为人知的年代。令人难以置信的是,这项技术至今仍在,为你带来一段永生难忘的独特体验。
降落过程充满乐趣,就连帮忙收拾气球也别有一番滋味。乘客们可以走进正在泄气的气球内部,帮忙排出剩余的空气,并压缩尼龙袋。这一天的每一个环节都精彩绝伦。
我们衷心感谢黛比、金以及她们的团队,是他们为我们创造了这段终生难忘的美好回忆。我毫不犹豫地向所有考虑体验热气球飞行的人推荐堪培拉热气球公司(Balloon Aloft Canberra)。你一定不会失望。
