ABBA Voyage Visit: Sunday 7th July

Text and pics contributed by Lisa.

Every now and then an IOG event isn’t about walking, cycling or another outdoor activity, it’s about getting out and enjoying life, and this trip to London was exactly that.

Thirteen of us got the train to Stratford and walked the mile to the custom-built ABBA Arena for the technologically ground-breaking ABBA Voyage show, where ‘Abbatars’ of the four members, looking as they did in their heyday in 1979, perform a one and a half hour show of their best-known sing-a-long hits plus a few newer numbers, accompanied by a live band and spectacular lighting effects.

It’s best to say no more but to encourage people who haven’t been to go!

After the show we walked that mile again and stopped for sustenance in Zizzi before getting the train back to Ipswich.

Thank you all who came, sang, danced and ate. A good day in great company.
