Niina , it sounds strange , but in a balloon all people who are afraid of hights are not afraid !! I know , because normally I am to scared to stand up a ladder !!! I asked the balloon-driver about this . he said that in a balloon , nobody is afraid of the hight ; and the reason is that your feet have no connection with the ground anymore ! Sounds strange , but he is right !!! I was not scared at all once I realised it !! A few days later I was on top of a high building , and as came closer to the edge , I was soooo dizzy !!! odd , I know !!
