The wheels on the bus go round and round…round and round….round and round and round and round and round!!!! Another long day on the road towards
New Orleans. I didn’t really know what to expect when we got here, I wasn’t sure how much of New Orleans had been repaired since Hurricane Katrina, but the area we are staying in wasn’t hit as badly as what some parts were. We had a city tour which was really interesting, its actually a really cute looking city. We had to go across the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway which is a 24 mile long bridge that takes you into New Orleans…it’s the longest bridge in the world!
We headed to the hotel and then prepared for the riverboat tour. We got a buffet dinner and a cruise down the
Mississippi River which was pretty cool.
It was a really pretty view, and they had the best strawberry daiquiris I’ve ever had….yum yum yum. After the boat tour we headed to a pub called Pat O’Briens which was a pretty nifty little bar.
They had these drinks that New Orleans are famous for - Hurricane’s (of course) which are the most feral drinks you would ever taste!!! It has about 50 different spirits in there and tastes awful….and would get you smashed after about 2 drinks! Totally yuk yuk yuk!
I then had a wander up bourbon street with our bus driver (cause he could beat the crap out of anyone for me) which was some pretty interesting night life. Although there were a few to many strip clubs for my likings!
