Breakfast was at Betsy’s Pancakes before getting on the road to Memphis. This was the most boring 6 hour drive of the trip so far. We stopped just inside the Tennessee border at a Tourist Info kiosk to find a place to stay. We decided on the Graceland Inn, but it was a lot more expensive when we got there that what was advertised.
The Americana Inn across the street was a lot cheaper so we took it. Our time in Memphis started with a relaxing swim in the hotel pool.
After a home cooked dinner we headed into Beale Street and wandered around. It is Elvis week in Memphis (Wednesday is the anniversary of his death) so the city is packed to the hilt with Elvis fans and impersonators. Needless to say, the place is jumping. Love this town already. On the way back to the hotel we stopped at some shops across the road from Graceland, where many bands were playing in the car park. We stayed and watched a few bands before heading back to the hotel.
