We
left New Orleans mid-afternoon and headed toward the home of all things, Elvis -
Memphis, Tennessee. We stopped late afternoon at McDonalds in Canton, Mississippi,
to utilise their free wifi to book our accommodation for Memphis. Two problems
occurred here, one the wifi did not work and two; we ended up eating some
double cheeseburgers. Keanan and Jon were the only crackers to be seen in the
entire Maccas store, staff included.
We
arrived in Memphis in the evening with no accommodation. The first hotel we
tried was full but luckily the Benchmark Hotel next door was not. Once we
checked in and entered the room we realised why. The shower alternated erratically
between one of two temperatures: scalding hot or icy cold, there was a
cockroach situation and we also copped top dollar charges for walking in off
the street! We couldn’t complain about the location though. A short wander down
the street and we had a bag of southern fried chicken to feed a nation.
