New Orleans - Houston

Up bright and early for a swamp tour,as you do. Pretty damn good, even if we did get torrential rain on the way back. Ah well, what else are tarpaulins for? Saw a good few gators, a nice big one and plenty of smaller critters. Not too sure about using hot-dogs and marshmallows to lure them out, but what an experience.
Got down to Houston a bit later than would have been ideal which meant not much time at NASA. Missed out on the tour behind the scenes but got a look at a shuttle cockpit, space-suit which had BEEN ON THE MOON and the amazing gift shop. After it, it's not rocket science. Oh wait, yes it is. They are a bunch of comedians.
Spent the night in a bunkhouse. Got top bunk, slightly hairy cos there was no ladder and no sides but there was the worlds most slippery matress. Survived the night anyway and got my first sighting of a real life armadillo. Thank you Texas.
