Now have spent several days in and around Stavanger - in the rain again. There is a lot of Viking history here and on the island of Talgje where I am staying with Benjamin's family. This is a small island accessible only by ferry, although they are building a tunnel as over time it is cheaper than a ferry system and more sustainable. We hiked up to the highest point (54m) was where a viking grave was located from about 1000AD. Yesterday, due to rain, we went to the Norwegian Oil Museum for some history of the oil boom in Norway. We took a ferry up Lysefjord to Lysebotn and saw the Preikestolen and Kjerag. Back to dinner and then went to the Talgje Church which was built between 1130 and 1150AD. They have a beautiful organ which I was pleased to play. Depends on weather again, but rain is predicted tomorrow and then to improve toward the weekend.
I want some sun!
Neil
