There are very few good reasons for getting up at four in the morning. But if it's to fly in a hot air balloon, it's well worth the effort. Cappadocia in Türkiye is ideal (完美的) for this activity and its moonlike land is breathtaking (令人赞叹的) to see from the air.
Ten years ago, when I first visited it, I would wake in the morning to the sound of the flames blasting(猛吹)hot air into a balloon flying over my hotel. I climbed onto the top of the hotel to wave at the happy people in the basket. The pilots took the balloons right down into the valleys so people could pick fruit from the trees.
Last year I finally decided to try it and I can say that it's not frightening(吓人的) at all, except the price, and when you're in the air, you go into a sort of dream. Nobody talks much and except the sound of flame, there is almost total(完全的) silence.
Before taking off, we practised the landing position. It includes sitting down on the floor, and it is difficult when there are 24 people in the small space. Landing can be tricky(难办的)and about ten people run up to the basket to stop it from flying again. When it's finally tied down, you climb out for a welcome drink and your flight certificate (证书).
I can't think of anything more fun to do on a summer's morning in Türkiye.
