Our first visit this morning was for a Sun Studios tour to see the place where so many legends made their first records. The tour was very interesting, we didn't realise that the studio was still in use, they do tours during the day and bands come in at night to record. Everyone had a chance to have their photo taken at the microphone that Elvis used for making his first records.
Then it was off to Graceland, home of Elvis. There were plenty of tour options (for example, you could also visit his private plane), we chose to take just the mansion tour, where you are supplied with an iPad and headphones to listen to the commentary, which worked really well.
The mansion is set on 11 acres with some nice areas including stables and a small swimming pool, the house itself was really interesting, it was well worth the visit, even though neither of us are Elvis fans.
After all that we had developed quite an appetite of course, so it was back to Beale St for some more BBQ ribs!
