We woke up at 4.30am to catch a boat to cross the Nile to head back to the Valley of the Kings to board our first hot air balloon ride. The experience was amazing and the sights wonderful. We were able to see the sun rise over the Nile on the one side and the Temple of Hatshepsut on the other. The most exciting part was the landing. Our balloon ended up landing in a corn field. The wind was too strong so our basket was dragged along quite a ways over the corn field. We smashed up a whole bunch of corn and two farmers came over to yell at us. In the mean time, local boys all came over to join the commotions. They came on donkeys as quickly as they could!
I gave them skittles while they really enjoyed!
