I am not a shopaholic
|
Ha ha see Andy isn’t a martini drinker so can’t be persuaded. I did something like I could go in and try some and he could wait, but amazingly he didn’t go for it. Can’t think why Yeah you would think with the tendency to litigate over everything the pavements would be super sorted wouldn’t you It was very impressive and another one of the City must do sights ticked off our list. Lol, I tripped over yesterday and yet managed to get round here no problem. How bizarre is that. I was disappointed not to see the cemetery so I would go back for that and maybe tie it in with a lunch and drinks on Magazine Street. I was pleased how the DIY worked out. The tours last year were hit and miss and we had a tour in Charleston coming up that was a let down as well. It’s just doesn’t seem to be our thing. I’m always very aware the we wander about NOLA and feel fine but it definitely has it’s less benevolent side and it’s easy to stray with the narrow streets that are not very well lit.

I love the look of American homes, they are so pretty particularly in New Orleans another lovely day and it looks like you were better off not paying for the tour as your own tour seemed fab X

Fabulous self-guided tour... the houses are so pretty. That was handy that you kept seeing the actual guided tours, it's always good to know that you're on track. It can be a bit worrying to stray off the beaten track, glad you stayed safe. Oh my goodness, those pavements! I'm so clumsy I'd have had a broken ankle or worse Lovely food and drinks today too.

Checking in, having spent today wandering around the garden district!
On a side note, our hotel is at Poydras/Tchoupitoulas (opposite Mothers basically) and I’ve felt quite safe here at all times. I didn’t like Bourbon Street AT ALL on Saturday but it’s calmed down now so much better. Much preferred Frenchmen Street

It is so beautiful around those quarters. We do love it
Hey there I hope you are having an amazing time Ooh that is good to hear. I think it maybe was the underpass area we went through. It didn’t feel ideal but opposite Mothers, oh my , how many sandwiches have you had there Yeah Bourbon street can be hideous. We are generally right at the top end near Louis Armstrong Park so a lot quieter. That section around Hard Rock gets a bit much for us .. too crowded . Did you get to Bourbon Heat yet ?

I might have made it to Bourbon Heat 😂 😆
I’m very very very afraid of snakes and the dudes waving them around mid afternoon on Bourbon St Saturday nearly finished me off 😢
