When you get up that early you hope to see a decent lift off - but no, the fog rolled in.
This is a bit of a different balloon picture though. A while after this they called the whole thing off for the fog and the balloons were deflated along with the crowds.
Oh darn .. I had a fanttastic morning watching the balloons over Waikato a couple of years back ... it was amazing with the bonus of some fog but sunshine as well...
Oh what a shame. I wanted to go to the balloon festival a couple of years ago, but we had to leave Canberra on our way to Melbourne to visit the grandchildren the day before.
