We took a Fjord Boat to Balestrand today. It still rained but we saw many waterfalls from the Fjord. We went walking around this beautiful art village located on the Sognefjorden. They have one ATM, one museum and an Aquarium. This is the big time compared to Flam. We started to follow a trail with marked points of interest. We found half of the places before it was time to return for dinner as we had made a reservation for 7pm. We then decided to stay up for a piano concert at 9:30 this evening by Age Kristoffersen. His name is pronounced “Auga” and he says it is an old, proud Viking name. He is a native of Voss Norway and is a professional piano player who now lives in Palm Springs. He has played at Carnegie Hall and all over the world. He gave a performance of Edvard Grieg’s lyric pieces. It was a very nice concert, with information about the famous composer and stories about the songs. We learned about the Norway trolls and the composer’s wedding song representing his 25th anniversary which went from the turmoil of the big party his wife planned to the quiet solitude he wished for. We bought one of the performer’s CD’s and he even autographed it!
