Hot Air Balloon Festival
2/16/2011
This is the first time that I have watched the hot air balloon festival in Clark, Pampanga. All the hardship are paid for. whew! It's very hard for me to wake up too early with a very short sleep. We were able to have a parking space and bought tickets in time without waiting too long.
When we went there, there are already many people waiting and there are actually people who slept there just to have a very good spot to see the balloons flying. We had a good spot at the corner side of the viewing deck and we're thankful that a man was able to share his spot with us. Thanks man! =)
The flying of the balloons started late for about an hour and a half. it supposed to start at 5:30 am but it started 7:00 am. Jaran! here they are..
I was very amazed and I wish someday I could ride one and have nice shots from above.
For those of you who wanted to experience the hot air balloon festival, you can still have it next year. It's always held February every year when the weather is very good. There are also things that you need to be reminded of.
1. Wake up early. You should at least be in the area by 5:00am the latest to have a good spot for viewing and to avoid the long wait in line.
2. You have the option to buy ticket in advance.
3. Bring "banig", chair or blanket that you can sit on while waiting.
4. Park near the exit.
5. Saturday schedule has good number of balloons but volume of people, Sunday and Weekdays has I believe fewer balloons but lesser people. Depends on your preference.
6. There are portalets available almost everywhere but of course, you can't expect more.
7. There are food stand also available.
See ya next year.
