It was around 1:30am when we departed Manila bound to Clark, Pampanga. It was my first time to attend the annually hot air balloon festival. I heard a lot of stories that it is fascinating to be there. Because it is a lifetime experience when you are there. Everyone was amaze on the gigantic sizes of the balloons there. Their creative and colorful size was also magnificent.

It was two months ago, when my college friends decided to attend the 17th hot air balloon festival. Actually, we availed a travel tour package, which is also included a Tree Top adventure in Subic, Zambales. We availed the 17th Hot Air Balloon Festival with Tree Top Adventure from GAFA Tours. http://www.gafatours.com/

It was an experienced when I was there, taking pictures from different angles of the sky.

Around 8:30am, we departed Clark, Pampanga bounded to the Treetop Adventure in Subic, Zambales. We went there via SCTEX. We had the briefing there before we proceed to the trekking. In the middle of our trekking, we stopped in the middle, just to watch the demo on the jungle survival. It was an Aeta, who presented the survival demo. He demonstrated how to get water from a bamboo plant, making of utensils out of bamboo sticks, and the most important how to make a fire out of bamboo. He ended the demonstration by showing a dance from their ethnic group.

We had our lunch in Shakeys. After that we proceed to Treetop Adventure for our activities. Riding in the canopy, is once a lifetime adventure. I have a fear in heights, but then I conquered it for the second time. Yet, it was fun to have an adventure there. We went back to the venue of Hot Air Balloon Festival; this is for the night glow. It was around 7:30pm, when we departed Clark, Pampanga bound to Manila.

It was an experienced, though I really felt the exhaustion of my energy. This event was great for family bonding, friends, and to the photography enthusiasts.
