Well since leaving Denver on Friday I have been to Nashville for 3 nights and am now in Memphis Tennessee!!
In Nashville I went to the Music Hall of Fame and checked out people trying to make their big break in the Broadway area of the city, there were live music bars everywhere and even people singing on the street corners. Big stereo speakers blasted out the tunes on street corners too - it really is totally music orientated! The Musicians Hall of Fame was great - although not enough stuff on Johnny Cash for my liking! They have a big exhibit that they change every few months and at the moment its on Ray Charles so maybe Cash will be next! There was only one hostel in Nashville and I couldnt get an answer on the phone there so I checked into a Motel. The hostel then rang me back but I'd already paid 25quid a night for 3nights at the infamous Drake motel!!
I'm also in a motel here in Memphis as theres no hostel here at all so Im having a bit of an expensive week!! Its much greener here in Memphis than it was in Nashville and the Mississippi River is a few blocks away from where I'm staying. Tomoro i'm off to Gracelands to see the King!! Then on Thursday I going to get the greyhound or train back up to a small town North of Nashville. I decided I need somewhere smaller to chill out for a few days becasue this City life is too noisy and grey for my liking!! It seems a long time ago that I wasn't staying in a city - although its actually only been 16days!
Im spending lots of money at the moment - way over budget on accommodation so am even thinking of coming back a few weeks early! But we'll see how well behaved I am in Las Vegas next week!!! Hahaha! Im meeting Lewis and Lizzie (friends from Fiji) on Tuesday so it will be lovely to see people I already know.
Anyhows - Im off to organise Thursdays accommodation and transport so will check back in soon xxx
