On enquiring about the ballooon flight, we were told that no flights were being operated on account of weather. We had almost given up, but something made us step in to a\u00a0travel shop.\u00a0We were more than delighted to learn that flights were being operated, but in an equal dilemma about spending \u20ac100.

At 6a, we headed to the site where balloons were being readied for flight. After a brief safety explanation of safety procedures, we were airborne with captain Jemal. His maneuvers around the soft rocks formed from volcanic deposits.<\/p>\n
