Optional extra tonight was a trip to an outdoor museum featuring country life of yesteryear. Not for us: Ann, Bill, Judy, Reg, David and I decided we'd sooner go to the ABBA Museum which opened four weeks ago and has averaged 500 visitors per hour and requires online booking. Following advice from hotel reception we just went, over on the ferry, a short stroll up the street past the Tivoli amusement park and we were there with instant entry.
It is fantastic!!! All about their childhoods and how they got together, lots of costumes and recording equipment, chances to sing along if you are totally deluded, souvenirs from their around the world tours and a re-creation of a room in the country where they used to record songs. Ann, Judy and I spent ages watching a film about ABBA's Australian trip - I was hooked when I heard a character say: "We have to go to bloody Adelaide" but I was the only one who laughed. They were big in Australia which I remember well.
Then - total bonus - I got David, Ann, Judy and Reg to pose in the cutout ABBA figures. The ferry had stopped by the time we emerged so we caught the tram back to town - never worked out how to pay for a ticket and got off before it became necessary.
