Random Spots in Memphis
5 sierpnia 2024, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C
So, from Graceland I headed into town (this time refusing to walk and waiting an hour for the bus, don't worry I had a bench, some shade and my Kindle), so here's a few random stops.
First up the Czytaj więcej
Beale Street and Beyond
5 sierpnia 2024, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C
"I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale". What Marc Cohn meant by this I'm not quite sure but next up was Memphis' strip on Beale Street. Not particularly lively on an early Monday afternoon Czytaj więcej

5 sierpnia 2024, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☀️ 34 °C

The View From Arkansas
5 sierpnia 2024, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☀️ 35 °C
So by crossing the bridge I can say I've crossed the 4th longest river in the world and also visited another state, albeit only for a few moments!
Heading Back Downtown
5 sierpnia 2024, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☀️ 35 °C
After crossing the bridge the afternoon was getting on so the sun felt much less relentless. I took a lovely stroll back towards town along this raised path between a stunning row of houses and the Czytaj więcej
Peabody Hotel Ducks
5 sierpnia 2024, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☀️ 34 °C
This trip has been full of surreal moments and this was one of them. Within the Peabody Hotel, possibly Memphis' most famous hotel, resides a group of ducks (no idea what you call that). These ducks Czytaj więcej
Fish and Chips
5 sierpnia 2024, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C
After putting in 33,000 steps and 319 active minutes today I thought I better treat myself to a fish and chips at the Irish bar over the road. It also happened to be martini Monday so a win win.
Memphis > Vegas > LA
6 sierpnia 2024, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C
Today was somewhat of a write off as I flew from Memphis to Vegas to LA. Even though my flight wasn't till 1pm I set off at around 10am for the airport as I don't trust the Memphis public transport. Czytaj więcej
Arriving in LA!
6 sierpnia 2024, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
I landed in LA just in time to catch the sunset on the bus into town. I then had to take the subway to my hostel which is just a block off of Hollywood Boulevard.
I stepped out of the metro station Czytaj więcej
Runyon Canyon Park
7 sierpnia 2024, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
This morning I was up and out before 8am (not intentionally) and I headed up to the park just behind my hostel. It was full of people running and walking their dogs and I can understand why it's such Czytaj więcej
Sunset Boulevard
7 sierpnia 2024, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
After succeeding in mission laundry and being turned away for a haircut I took the bus to nearby Sunset Boulevard. This road is full of swanky hotels and in the hills behind it live starts such as Czytaj więcej
The Getty
7 sierpnia 2024, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
My next stop was to take the bus to The Getty, an art gallery with spectacular architecture and even better views over the city!
On the way there I befriend a Dutch guy named Olivier who seemed Czytaj więcej
Venice Beach and Canals
7 sierpnia 2024, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
Me and Olivier then took the bus all the way down to Venice Beach. It had suddenly gone cloudy and a bit cold but still you can see why the beachcis so famous! We also took a wander down to the nearby Czytaj więcej
Santa Monica Beach

Walk of Fame - The Made Up
8 sierpnia 2024, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
This category goes out simply to charachters that simply aren't real yet have still earned themselves a star.
Morning in LA
8 sierpnia 2024, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
This morning I started off with a haircut! It went well in my opinion and for $40 it damn well should do.
I then started wandering down Hollywood Boulevard, first up encountering the Chinese theatre, Czytaj więcej
Walk of Fame - The Bad
8 sierpnia 2024, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Calling some of these 'the bad' may be a little harsh so maybe 'the funny' would be more appropriate. Donald Trump neighbouring Kevin Spacey has to be my personal favourite.
Hollywood Bowl (By Day)
8 sierpnia 2024, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
As I headed down the Walk of Fame I made a detour to see the Hollywood Bowl. A very impressive venue even if I couldn't see much of it!
Walk of Fame - The Good
8 sierpnia 2024, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
So I'm going to split the Hollwood Walk of Fame stars into the good (x2), the bad and the made up. Starting off with the good! There are over 2,700 stars and I saw every single one. Even trying to be Czytaj więcej

The Broad
8 sierpnia 2024, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
Whilst downtown I headed into the Broad art gallery. This is my favourite type of art gallery as its full of non-sensical modern art, although it did have a lot of Andy Warhol's.
