Deep South Tour. New Orleans, Memphis and Nashville. Dec 2009 & Oct 2010

The Deep South Tour

I worked with Newmarket Holidays as an escort on some of their US tours. This is the Deep South Tour that covered New Orleans, Memphis and Nashville. I’ve done this tour 2 or 3 times but have make this gallery as one with pictures from all of the tours.

It all starts at Atlanta Airport. They have a Giant Ant problem !

Our first port of call was New Orleans.

Driving over the Mississippi

Bridge. over the Mississippi

Not the best picture of the Natchez Steamboat. We took a cruise down the Mississippi

Another Option was a Swamp Tour

We had a real live Alligator onboard

Tour of New Orleans in the Garden District

A typical building in New Orleans

This empty plot in New Orleans once had houses on it, until Catrina Hit

This was out Tour Coach

A bed from a trailer came off the car in front

On the way to Memphis, we stopped off in Tupelo. This is where Elvis was born

Memphis

The Federal Police Building

Beal Street in Memphis.

Peabody hotel with the famous 'Duck' ceremony

Sun Studios where Elvis was Discovered

Martin Luther King stayed and was killed here

It was like time stood still

The Belcony where Martin Luther King was Murdered

This is where he was shot from

This is what you call a real car !

Elvis lived here when he moved to Memphis

Possibly the most famous gates in the world

The wall outside Graceland. My name is on there somewhere

Graceland. Where Elvis lived and Died

I forget the name of this room, it had a 'grass' like carpet

A very strange room

Downstairs, the pool room

On to Nashville. This is Studio B where Elvis recorded all of his songs

Oprah Winfrey's dad, Vernon. We use to turn up in the coach outside his Barbers shop

Sometimes, we'd go to 'Jack Daniels'

Lynchburg, next to JD's

Does the name of the store ring any bells ?
