Chateau d'Oex 1 Feb 2014

DSCN1228 On 1 Feb we took the train over to Chateau d'Oex to see the balloon festival. DSCN1229 There was not a lot going on as we arrived. DSCN1230 The weather wasn't good for flying, but the organizers managed to inflate a few of the sponsors' balloons to give the tourists something to look at.
