A MAGICAL HOT AIR BALLOON RIDE IN TURKEY
This was an absolute bucket list experience that I HIGHLY recommend. We used the company Butterly Balloons and they were incredible - so professional and organized. After about an hour of flying around we landed back in the field and had a champagne toast and received a commemorative medal 🥇.
