So today we did a bit of everything, we went shopping, went for a meal at a place called Bar Louie which was nice. We also went to a place called Westport social which was a cool bar. It had all sorts of games in there about 3 bars and a live band.

Great nightLäs mer

I MET UP WITH DAVID!

I’ll start from the beginning....

I was due to check out of my hotel room at 11am, so I was planning on getting up around 10am so I could have a shower and pack my things but a cleaning woman Came into my room at around 7:30 AM and woke me up. So I was not best pleased!

Anyway I get my shower and pack my things and I don’t leave my room till exactly 11am as my passive aggressive form of payback.

I was meeting David around 1pm at the ballpark so I just made my way over there as it wasn’t far from the hotel and there was a load of bars etc there.

I end up waiting in the Budweiser bar in ballpark village, which was a nice bar so I ordered a pint of Budweiser... $11! It’s brewed down the fucking road!!! I drink my pint and watch the Real Madrid super cup game waiting for David.

Got talking to the barmaid in there as she noticed the accent and thought I was Australian... she had never even heard of Liverpool Hahahaha!

I meet up with David... it was good to see his face after so Long.

We ended up going for some food in a BBQ place, he doesn’t get to go much as Katie is vegan. It was fit, can’t remember the name of it though.

We make our way back to his house in O’Fallon which is about a 40 minute drive west from St Louis centre. His house is lovely and I finally met Katie and she’s super friendly and I also met his 3 dogs, Kai, Koda and Leo... Leo is a psycho.

We go out for tea that night which was nice and then we get back to the house and We are just sitting and catching up for a few hours which was awesome. I taught Katie a bit of scouse which was funny.

I think I’m going to enjoy myself hereLäs mer

I woke up today around 3pm - had no idea I was so tired. I think after staying in hostels for a few weeks the feeling of having my own bed made me sleep so much. It was nice having my own bathroom and not having to worry about things being left in a locker etc. So all I did today was stay in my room, listen to music loud, watch films and order food.

It was fantastic!

I’m meeting up with David tomorrow, excited for that as I’ve not seen him in years and I will be spending Christmas and New Year with him and his wife Katie. So lots to look forward to!!!Läs mer

Came to St Louis a bit early as I couldn’t find anywhere relatively close to stay for cheap and I managed a good deal on a hotel here. I got here quite late at night (again) as it’s much cheaper to travel at later hours. It was a ball ache of a journey made even worse by some weirdos on the bus Hahahahaha. Anyway I didn’t do anything at all today just managed to get a few snaps of St. Louis on the way inLäs mer

Last day in Nashville - took it easy. I managed to watch the Liverpool game and then I went for a walk up and down Broadway and went to a bar called tin roof. I was there for hours watching the band and eating awesome food.Läs mer

The weather was much better today so I walked up to the Pantheon which was about an hours walk away. Once you get past Broadway there isn’t much after that, it’s kinda boring however the ‘The Gulch’ area of Nashville is cool, I’d recommend that area to anyone for a little walk about.

I got to the pantheon which is a full size scale replica of the original in Greece, not exactly sure why they built it in a park just outside of Nashville however it is pretty awesome to walk around - inside is an art gallery which is not really my thing so I just kept to staying outside and walking around it. It just means I have to go to the original now to compare....

After my hour walk back into Nashville I had a little jaunt around music row on my way back... meh

I get back to my hostel and get changed ready for a few beers and enjoy what the night had to offer - although I’ve got to be honest I didn’t enjoy it. Every bar was rammed so you could barely move and tbh I’m getting sick of drinking. I don’t drink much as it is, and I think my body just wants me to drink water for a few days, especially when I’ve been eating nothing but crap for a month too!

I persevered for a few hours but then made my way back to the hostel to watch the rocky fielding fight - didn’t have much hope for him.... I can’t decide if alvarez was just levels above in quality or whether rocky just didn’t fancy it. Either way at least he can say he headlined at madison Square garden!

Last full day tomorrow, no plans as of yet, I might just wait for the notice board to be updated and see what’s on there...Läs mer

Up and out today aaaaaaand it was lashing it down. Gutted. Hasn’t stopped all day and when you don’t really have much winter/wet weather clothing it’s a proper bitch.

However I did manage to get a few sites in before I and to give up and turn back. I went to see the state capitol building which is cool, saw the Andrew Jackson monument, Vietnam war monument, Korean War monument etc, basically I went to the war museum.

After I had managed to get soaked i went to broadway to a place called nudies honkey tonk bar which was awesome. It had the longest bar in Nashville it was class. The band was awesome, played some cool songs and I even got a request on which was sharp dressed man and they did it brilliantly! After a few beers in there I went to broadway brewery- 70 ales on tap! Cool place and I had brisket nachos that was bigger than my torso!

I debated about going out tonight but I’ve been told Saturday is the big night so I saved my money as I have to pick and choose my battles when travelling as once the money is gone. That’s it. Game over. Time to fly home. So I went back the hostel and just chilled, kinda boring but you can’t constantly keep yourself entertained whilst away, and sometimes just doing nothing is good for the mind.

Hopefully tomorrow I can get out and go and see the pantheon and the grand old oprey- fingers crossed for the weather...Läs mer

WHAT A NIGHTMARE OF A DAY!

Had to get a coach from Memphis to here, however the coach was delayed a good hour, and then we got stuck in traffic for 2 hours making a 4 hour journey close to 8 with the drivers break!

Anyway finally made it to the hostel which is quite cool - it’s called downtown Nashville hostel. It’s huge and all the rooms are named after bands etc.... guess which room I was put in.... THE BEATLES. Bastards

Anyway it was pissing down so I only went for a quick walk around the block around 9pm and had a quick beer before people retiring to bed. However from my first impressions.... I like Nashville. I like it a lotLäs mer

Last day in Memphis today as it was just a quick stop before moving on to Nashville. I decided to have a short walk around the town (it’s not that big) and tbh there isn’t much there, the Gibson factory has closed Down which was a bummer. However I did manage to get a picture with the king, eat at gus’s world famous chicken and drink in BB Kings bar - so not too bad of a day all told. I probably wouldn’t come back to Memphis anytime soon, however the bars on Beale street are cool and I would say if you’ve not been to Memphis and you pre thinking about going... go in the summer!Läs mer
