Napa Valley isn't too far from San Francisco. Getting there wasn't a big problem, but it was timing that gave us a headache. We intended to go for the hot air balloon ride - an outdoor pursuit Napa Valley is famous for other than the wineries. The thing is that to take the hot air balloon, we needed to be at Napa Valley before sunrise. Since we were coming from San Francisco by public transport, we got to wake up at 3.30am! Gosh...
See the mist? It was chilling! We learnt that the hour before sunrise is the coldest.
The balloon was really big.
We almost couldn't go for the ride as it was deemed too windy. But we thank God for slowing down the wind! It turned out to be gorgeous day for flying!
I sang a birthday song into his ears. Isn't Daniel very blessed to spend his birthday in San Francisco's hot air balloon?
Daniel went crazy that day. He kept looking out for opportunities to take reflections shots.
Daniel is too tall; I'm too short. This was the best I could do to include the scenery as backdrop. =(
Preparing for landing.
Almost couldn't get over the fence.
After the ride, we returned to San Francisco via the ferry. Too tired, so we fell asleep. So unglam.
After the power nap, we went for yet another cruise ride. This time to the infamous Alcatraz Island.
Used to be prison to house the hard-core criminals. Remember the movie, The Rock?
This was the room in which badly behaved prisoner would be locked up in total darkness.
