Château d'Oex

I got excellent news; I finally have a digital camera...
Last month, to be exact the 28th of January I went to "Château d'Oex", to see the Hot air balloon festival, held there once a year (got problem with computer and I cold that doesn't want to leave, so I'm late at posting these pictures).



That Sunday was the last day and I didn't want to miss it. I got to see how they inflate the balloons and how it slowly rice to the air. There is also the opportunity, paying of course a huge amount, on flying in them.












The best moment of the day…









There was also the opportunity to get a 5 minutes ride on a helicopter. So I leave you with my first pictures on my new camera….
