October 2018 · 3 min read · Girona

In chinese national day of this year, I plan to travel to Spain with my wife. we took off from Shanghai to Barcelona by Emirate, with the connection in Dubai airport. we arrived at Barcelona at October 4th. when planing the trip, we have added hot-air ballon trip with hesitation. although it is not as famous as that in Turkey, we still hope to experience the spanish style, and it is proved that this trip is very satisfying. / 今年国庆,我和老婆计划了一次西班牙的旅行,我们从上海出发,乘坐阿联酋航空经迪拜转机,于10月4号到达巴塞罗那。在制订旅行计划时,我们便毫不犹豫地加入热气球项目,虽然不如土耳其的热气球旅行出名,但是西班牙应该也别有一番风味吧,事实证明,这次旅行果真没让我们失望。

The location we took the balloon is in the mountain area of Girona province, which is in the northwest of Barcelona. Because of weather reason, we had changed two locations and this was the third one in our back-up list. That was 6:00 am, the mountains were so quite that we could clearly heard the barks in distant farms. The moutains far away was framed by golden sunrise, from deep to shadow, shining with some mysterious light. / 我们乘坐热气球的地点在巴塞罗那西北部赫罗纳省的山区,因为天气原因,我们先后更换了2个地点,这个是第三个备选的出发地点。彼时是早上6点左右,赫罗纳山区里一片寂静,偶尔能听到远方农场的犬吠。远处的群山被朝阳镶上金边,由深及浅,变幻出神秘莫测的光芒。

The coach was doing some preparations: laying down basket - air blow - ignition and firing - seting basket in the right place. In the begining we were a little dispointed that our balloon is the most ugly one, but considering that we could take photos of the most beautiful one instead of this one when flying, we turned to be very happy. / 教练正在做前期准备工作:放平吊篮—鼓风—点火—摆正吊篮。顺便吐槽一下:我们这个热气球是整个气球组里面最丑的,但是转念一想,我们空中拍的别人家热气球都很漂亮,也就释然了。

"Hello Huston! This is flying house No.1, we are all preapred, time for flying!" / “飞屋一号”准备起飞,耳边回荡的歌曲是汪半壁的《飞的更高》。

When looking down, we could see cows and sheeps eating grasses near the river, a little further is undulating mountains and surging seas of clouds. It is heard that the lower the clouds, the better the weather is. It was supposed that we caught a very good weather. The whole mountain area was quiet and peaceful. As the hot air balloon kept rising, the picture was gradually spread out. It was completely presented to us, which made us feel relaxed and happy.Before we knew it, our balloon had risen to over 1000m and we could see the beautiful balls of others. / 向下望去,看到牛羊在河边悠闲的吃草,在远一些是起伏的山峦和涌动的云海。以前听人说云层越低,表示天气越好,看来今天真的是赶上了一个好天气。整个山区一片静谧祥和,随着热气球不断升高,画面也一点点地铺展开来,完整的呈现在我们眼前,让人心旷神怡。不知不觉,我们的气球已经上升到1000m以上,可以观赏那些漂亮的球球了。

Finally we landed on a small slope of the sorghum field, a bit embarrassing. But in the whole journey, everyone enjoyed themselves. / 最后我们降落在一个小土坡的高粱地里,有点狼狈。不过整个旅程,大家都玩的很开心。
