It was so early in the morning when I had to wake up and prepare for a big day that is coming my way, HOT AIR BALLOON FEST! I was invited by my classmates and thinking that it will be a good time to relax, have fun and leave the very stressful city behind, I happily obliged to join them.
It will be held in Clark, Subic. It will be my first time to be there, in Clark I mean. While nearing the venue, we were stuck in traffic because of the big crowd who are also seeing the event. Having seen the cars that were parked in the venue, it was like half of people in Metro Manila are here. After a not much long wait for us to find a parking spot for Shadowfax (my classmate’s car), we walked to the main gate of the venue. We had to fall in a line to purchase our tickets which costs P150. We had planned to go somewhere else first because we weren’t able to be there in time for the hot air balloons to float in the air. But after purchasing our tickets, we have decided to go inside and see what’s happening. The theme of the event was like a fair with different booths. We felt like we were in a school fair that time.
The event does not only feature hot air balloons but everything, as in EVERYTHING that flies, from our (antique) fighter planes to hot air balloons, helicopters, paragliders, sky divers, and even kites. There were different types of people that attended the event, families, couples, friends, classmates. It was a good day to just relax, look up at the sky and appreciate the beauty of life. We were able to watch the exhibition of pilots. Great performance! We were also able to see 3 hot air balloons going up and down in the sky.
We left the venue and we plan to be back in the afternoon to witness the night glow of the hot air balloons. We went to the Treetop Adventure. We traveled for more than an hour. We saw the Subic International Airport. Treetop Adventure features extreme challenges/adventures such as free fall, superman, and many others that I can’t remember. It is a place where you can challenge yourself do something extreme and test your courage in heights. Since I’m afraid of heights, I know that I won’t try to do something like that, in the near future. But it is a good idea to have a bonding with your love one. It is almost like flying in the air, up in the trees. We decided to just try Ocean Adventure.
