We then dropped off the car back at the hotel and walked up to the main street to catch the trolley car around the town. Got off at Beale Street and did a bit of shopping and had lunch at the Rum Boogie Cafe. What a place with so much character.
After lunch we walked down to the waterfront to go on a Mississippi River Boat cruise. While walking along the pavement I stepped on one of the metal grids which lifted slightly catching my foot and I went sprawling head first and somehow managed to land on my shoulder and got a huge roastie!! Got to the boat and enjoyed a leisurely cruise down the Mississippi getting lots of history thrown in. Really was a most relaxing and enjoyable cruise.
After the cruise we walked back to our hotel where Dereck and Doug went to see Sun Records, Sue had a siesta and I took a walk to see if there were any shops open in the Peabody Mall (which sadly they were not) and then just walked around the town before heading back to the hotel.
Went out again to Beale street. Found club 152 and listened to a really great band. Had supper there too and then about about 9pm Sue and I decided to go back to the hotel and Dereck and Doug stayed on and found a band called the Hillbilly Casino band and only got back to the hotel at 12:00am!!
