Yesterday was unbelievable. I thought it was going to be a good day, but I was wrong. It all started when I got a McDonalds instant win, to go hot air ballooning; I've never done that before, and I now wish I haven't! I asked my mum if I could go, or sell the ticket on eBay: she said it would be an experience of 'my' lifetime…… don't think soo.
I almost died!!!
I went into the room were they told you the instructions on what to do... Blah blah... Blahhh.. Then they showed me to a dressing room to get changed into: •a navy morph suit - that didnt cover my head • 'special' goggles • - this one freaked me out- a parachute!! Why on earth ... or in air ... do you need a blooming parachute unless the weird manager of 'Happy hotairballoons' thought,' this is a great plan to get rid of people' I honestly doubt it ...... But still!
Then, in the basket, 4 ft in the air. I puked all down the side of straw carrier, nice!! We couldn't stop, the instructor was dumb. 200ft in the air and a flying rat - a.k.a pigeon - scraped the top of our balloon leaving it to crash and explode on the floor! So …… the parachute came quite handy then....... I got ready to forfeit my life and jumped out of the plane, zooming down, with my hair in my face, I reached around on my back to find the chord that unleashes the parachute.... It came out, I must have yanked the chord so hard it snapped and now it was already out of side, probably already hit earth. I grabbed onto the instructor guy, who's parachute was out, and already working, and hugged him. Not because I fancied him, or like him, no, this was life or death....
