Wow, what an awesome city New Orleans is!! We arrived at the Roosevelt Hotel in the evening and walked straight down to Bourbon Street to eat. Absolutely buzzing, people everywhere, pubs, clubs, music, souvenirs etc etc. The boys were impressed with the police on horseback who handcuffed a drunk guy in the street. It drew a big crowd and we couldn't help watching.
We saw as much as we could while in New Orleans and sampled as many of the delicious meals on offer. I had heard about gumbo and jambalaya but we had never heard of
po-boys or
muffulettas. We also ate crawfish, red beans, beignets and drank hickory coffee and root beer floats.

New Orleans was entertainment overload, everywhere we went there were great buskers and bands playing for tips. Every day we wandered through the French Quarter and the French Market, along the Mississippi levee, down Canal St, Royal St, Bourbon St and around Jackson Square watching all the different street entertainment on offer.
