“Fantastisk oplevelse selve ballonturen, men havde en meget ubehagelig oplevelse med en spansk talende dame, der ikke ville have mine sønner og jeg med. Hun mente hun havde booket en privat tur. Alt råben og skrigen foregik på spansk, så vi stod bare der i midten og fattede ingenting. Måtte gå til vores chauffør, for at få en forklaring på hvad der skete.”
