Hot Air Balloon!

No, I didn't go on a hot air balloon ride... but if anyone wants to know, there are a couple of tour operators here that have either the Melbourne or Yarra Valley sunrise packages that include breakfast with champagne from about AUD$250 onwards I believe (yes, per person), depending on whether its on promo, or its weekday or weekend etc.

Anyway, I'm hoping to get to ride on it for our 10th wedding anniversary if we can still remember it by then... haha... we literally forgot our wedding anniversary this year til Saundra reminded us =D *thanks, Saun!*

Oh wait, where was I? Oh yeah, I was just trying to blog a little on my trip to work today. It was about 7am, and as I got out of the house, I saw this in the sky...



ooh! how cool! so many of them too! =) so, I went on my way to work (no, actually, I ran back up to take the camera to take this shot first) and the balloons accompanied me all the way... I believe this one was at Hoddle St, which is a main road, BUT as you can see, the traffic lights were red when I took this pic (with my iPhone from inside the car... thank goodness we can sorta make out the balloons. hehe_



and the next one is on Johnston Street in Abbotsford...



Ok, fine, the picture quality isn't great, but the point is that I managed to capture the moment anyway.... (note: the light is red again =) safe driver here!) I especially like the next one...



I like it not because of Tibet, but coz its smack on top of my office. Yeah, that building in the pic is the side of my office... I was driving into the car park... we use the whole building =) anyway, I enjoyed the balloon accompaniment today!
