Travels in Paradise
What a prophetic quote for the time! Wish I had the guts Sylvia 🙂
Good to look at but not to try.
Hahaha. Yes, I think so too. 🙂
Cool to watch but, Yikes! You’d never get me to try. I’m a chicken when it comes to heights. But, I agree with you about looking up, there’s always something to see. 🙂
So, I gather that you like to keep your feet firmly on the ground? 😀
Yes, unless I’m in a commercial plane with a bunch of other people. 🙂
My son and husband loves watching people do this on the beach near our house =) #MySundayPhoto
They are so fascinating to watch. I could get neck-ache looking up at the sky not wanting to miss anything flying overhead, 🙂
it must be an awesome experience but certainly not for the faint of heart 🙂
i believe LDV is right 🙂
Absolutely not for the faint-hearted, Lola. 🙂
fantastic!! Love the quote!
Thanks so much, Cybele. 🙂
I wish you a wonderful new week
Thank you, Marko. You too. 🙂
As a person who is scared of heights, I think I will pass! However, I admire people who have the courage to do things like this.
I think one has to be very brave to do this, even if one isn’t scared of heights. 🙂
makes me think of the Only Fools & Horses episode where Del-boy ens up hang gliding!! a classic episode!
I don’t remember that episode, but I just watched it on Youtube. Hilarious!! Thanks for the prompt. 😀
hehe glad you enjoyed it – can’t help but love Only Fools & Horses. Have you seen the Comic Relief special with David Beckham that was aired this year? Absolutely brilliant@
No, haven’t watched much of the series at all, but you prompted me to ask hubby to download the whole catastrophe, so we watched the very first episode last night, and will work our way through. 😀
hehe I hope you enjoy it as much as we have! Re ep 1 – Granddad wants an emperor burger but he got a cheese burger :p
Hehehe. Poor old granddad! He really gets a raw deal, doesn’t he? 😦
Every step of the way! I hope you enjoy it as much as we have over the years (I bought them one by one as they became available on DVD)
These guys are brave! We have a company here that takes visitors up in this type of “plane”. I will leave it till later 🙂
Yes, take a rain check. Very wise. 🙂
Those magnificent men and their flying machines.
Wasn’t that a great movie! 🙂
I was watching a show last night about Neil Armstrong and apparently after a joy flight at the age of five he was hooked and did everything he could to get back in the air again 🙂 Da Vinci was so right! 😀
What a lovely story about Neil Armstrong. 🙂
It was great. Apparently he was quite a shy person.
Wow; how brave! That will be the day for me; I don’t think I’ve got the guts to do this. 🙂 #MySundayPhoto
Yes, it is a brave thing to go up on one’s own in such a contraption. I did get very brave a few years ago. https://adinparadise.wordpress.com/tag/parasailing-experience/
That is so true!
I knew you’d be in agreement with Leonardo. 🙂
What an amazing feeling, I would love to do that
Thank you for linking up
My pleasure. Glad you enjoyed the photo. 🙂
Dreams sometimes come true….or not?
Yes they do. 🙂
i also can fly …I own one of these wings an trikes 🙂 yeahaaa 🙂
Wow, that must be amazing! Is it scary up there?
no way , makes one feel like a bird!. http://quarksire.com/category/ultralight-trike-flying-2/
Sylvia is this next on the list?
Hmmmm…………not sure I would do this by myself. 😕
I could come with you. 🙂
Thanks for the offer, Sue. I’ll have to think about it. 😕
Looks sublime…for someone else. 🙂
I agree with you, Lynne. 🙂
Perfect way to avoid the queues at rush hour… 😀
Problem solved! 🙂
I think that is true even for a person who has tasted flying a remote control aircraft.
Absolutely. 😀
I loved paragliding, not sure if I could do this….
I’m sure you could, if you made up your mind to give it a try. 🙂
Do you dream about flying? I’ve had many dreams where I just glide off and fly. Sublime. (No, I’ve not been eating the mushrooms)
It must be great, to fly off in your dreams, Kate. I usually dream about more mundane things. 😦
Oh I dream about sheer rubbish too. And school (!!) and my last job although that classifies as a nightmare. But yes, sometimes I just soar, and what’s odd, it feels so real, so natural and so easy. Cool, huh?
Have you ever tried traveling like this Sylvia? This is something Terry is anxious to try.
No I haven’t done this yet, only paragliding. If Terry is anxious to try it, I’m sure he’ll make it happen. 🙂
I’m sure he will. 🙂
