Elvis has NOT left the building
Wednesday 3rd June
Alan had discovered that the Peabody Ducks walk through the lobby at 11.00a.m. so we set off at 9.30 and made our way into downtown Memphis. We found a multi storey car park close to the waterfront. It only cost $5.00 for the whole day.
It wasn’t too far from the Peabody so we had a walk to the hotel. The Duckmaster was preparing the lobby with a red carpet. People were already gathering and as we waited ‘Elvis’ arrived to serenade us.
The ducks make their appearance every day at 11.00a.m. to swim in the lobby fountain and then return via the elevator to their roof top home at 5.00p.m.
I was able to have my photo taken with ‘Elvis’.
We caught a trolley bus down Main Street to visit the Museum of Civil Rights. We took an audio tour round the Museum which was much better than our last rushed visit 6 years ago.
We have decided not to call off at Nashville on our way to Maryville, so we are going to have an early night before the 400 mile journey across Tennessee.
