Update from Nashville, Tennessee

Wed 26th Oct

After overnighting in Jackson, Tennessee, continued east. Made a sidetrip to visit the Civil War battlefield at Shiloh. Very interesting, watched a video followed by a 9 mile self-guided drive around the battlefield.. Lunched in Savannah - Subway as usual, and then continued on to Chattanooga for the night.

Thurs 27th Oct

In the morning we visited the Tennessee Valley railroad/museum and took a short ride on their train www.tvrail.com
Met up with Dave for lunch - really good to see him again.
After lunch called in at Hertz to report a slow puncture on the car. Really friendly and helpful service - ended up with a new car same model etc., so went happily on our way.
Visited Chattanooga Choo Choo in the afternoon, which is a series of tourist attractions in and around the old Chattanooga rail station.
Then took the Inclined Railway to the top of Lookout Mountain - said to be the steepest in the world 72% www.LookoutMtnAttractions.com wonderful views over the city from the top.

Then drove up to Nashville, checked into a hotel in the city centre. went out in the vening to sample the music atmosphere. Amazing!! Seems like everyshop frount down Broadway is a bar with a live band.
Went to the Wildhorse saloon for drinks, food and music www.wildhorsesaloon.com
