After a 14 hour bus ride I arrive in Memphis which is hotter than hell and very humid.
I am staying accomodation that is attached to a church and I did think, for a moment I may have to go sing songs etc, luckily its not like that and very chilled out.
So I got into Memphis at about 0830 on Weds and thought I would be tired but must have fought through it as I found the hostel, dropped my kit, showered and headed out in search of Elvis.
Graceland is pretty cool. Obviously its very commercial and there is a hint of bitterness that, other than the blues, the town seems to only be known for The King.
The actual house is located on one side of the road and all the shops, museums etc are on the other.
The house is pretty covered by security very tightly and there are places you cannot go, like upstairs in the house. You have these little headsets that narrate your way around the house so you can go at your own pace.
Elvis Karate Suit.
Elvis clicks with ALL the chicks.
There is an entire museum dedicated to Elvis many jump suits, it takes a special person to be able to pull off a jumpsuit especially when combined with a cape!
Special.
There were people crying at this point.
Elvis Bling.
Elvis shooters.....bling and shooters, maybe he was Fifty Cent's inspiration!
