Skyrides - The Biggest Tethered Balloon Ride @ Putrajaya

Visited the Hot Air Balloon Festival.

So many cars everywhere.





Chocolate & Cookie Ice Cream (RM 10) ~ Okay la.

Night Glow Show where the balloons light up to music beat. It's pretty.





We were exploring and heard an announcement Tethered Balloon Ride at a discounted price. We ran to the counter. It's usually RM45 for a 15mins ride but because of the festival it's only RM30, I bought immediately (RM75 NP for foreigners). The queue to ride was freaking long so we decided to come back another day. The ride has a one month validity from the date we bought, opens everyday including weekends. 

Fireworks.



Stopped by the bridge on the way back.


Today is the day we are going for our first balloon ride. YAY! 
I invited Judy along and she brought company :)




We were only supposed to wait for at most 20-25mins since each ride only takes about 15mins. We started to wait before the sunset and I was pretty sure we would be up there watching the sunset when it was our turn. Unfortunately we waited more than an hour and it was dark by the time it was our turn. The balloon was supposed to take 10 people each time but as night falls the wind became stronger and they only allowed 7 people aboard. When it came to our turn only 5 people were allowed. Safety reasons.

Finally.



We are going up.



Going as high as 150 meters.


You can walk around.











Panoramic View.



With flash.








That's how high we were.
