Memphis, Tennessee - Day 11

Up early again, our destination, Memphis Tennessee via Vicksburg and the mighty Mississippi River. About 240 miles in total today.
Vicksburg is where the first Coca Cola was bottled and sold for public consumption, there is a little museum, but being 7:30 in the morning wasn't open.Vicksburg is also where we we got our first sight of the Mississippi River, and it's huge. It snakes all the way along the west side of the state and crosses 11 more states.

On to Memphis, Tennessee, home of Elvis Presley. Our campsite is shit to say the least, it's right next to the Interstate (highway) like camping on the N1 in Jo'burg.

Went to bed early and up early, into town to go and find Graceland. We both decided not to pay to go in as neither of us are really big Elvis fans, none the less good to see the spot. we were also the youngest people there!
