Random Spots in Memphis

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.

Beale Street and Beyond
5 augusti 2024, Förenta staterna â
âïž 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 afternoonLĂ€s mer

The View From Arkansas

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!

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 theLĂ€s mer
Peabody Hotel Ducks

âïž 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 ducksLĂ€s mer
Fish and Chips
5 augusti 2024, Förenta staterna â
âïž 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

âïž 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.LĂ€s mer

âïž 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.

Runyon Canyon Park

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 suchLĂ€s mer

Morning in LA

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,LĂ€s mer
Walk of Fame - The Bad
8 augusti 2024, Förenta staterna â
âïž 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 augusti 2024, Förenta staterna â
âïž 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!

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 beLĂ€s mer
