Airship

Big airship - Gennady Oparin (RU).

On the way to Gsteid to ski and came across the balloon festival. Perfect sunny day for pictures. Had champers and a superb steak sandwich for lunch.

Went to Gstaad. Bought a fridge magnet for CHF 18!! That being the only thing I can afford in 'blink' 'blink' Gstaad. Stayed overnight at the cheaper neighbour - Gsteid (even the name sound poorer), and ski the following day at Glasier 3000 with TP, IC and MC.

No post for that - left the stupid camera in the car, but the view at the top was magnificent. However, the pistes were ordinary and the facilities were not very ski friendly. Had the longest red (approx. 7kms) but nothing memorable otherwise. Glasier skiing? Done that , probably not for sometime....
