What a city. Amazing place.
Day 8 - A heck of a lot of driving to get there from Memphis. Amazing scenery on the way though, all of a sudden it goes from hedges and trees to swamps. Never seen anything like it before. Good, friendly place to be. Went out, first hit a bar with $1 pints (you listening Nashville?) then just wandered the streets taking in the sites with them - legally. Got a first sighting of the Missisippi river (that must be spelt wrong - apologies) and many other things.
Ate out and had the best meal I've had in my life. 'Blackened Chicken Po-Boy'. Ah man, even the chips were spicy! Cajun food is amazing. Got to go back to that part of the world just for a snack. Afterwards went for a night out on Bourbon Street. Crazy place, just one non-stop party. Alcohol everywhere. Tried me a 'hand-grenade' then took up the offer of 3 for 1 beers, would be rude not to!
Day 9 - Got a proper look at the city. Bloody hot again, amazing weather round those parts! Had a look at the Aquarium with the white alligator (saw a bit of it anyway!) and some pretty cool penguins...no pun intended. Took the ferry over the river, so I can now say I've been on the Mississipi proper! Spotted another Bubba Gumps, those crazy Americans think thats a factual film I think. Checked out the Voodoo Museum, crazy cats. Back at the hotel (amazing after a week in tents) we got us probably the worst take-out you could ever want. All part of the fun!
