We awoke still drunk in a comfy hotel room which was amazing after a week of camping. We missed breakfast, obviously, and headed off into New Orleans for a look at the sights and it was ridiculously hot so we went into a bar and had a huge ice water and a slice of pizza for breakfast. Yum

After food we headed off to have a look at the Mississippi river but to be fair New Orleans isn't actually very nice, yes it's got nice buildings but when the streets smell like sick and there are drug addicts everywhere we were not very impressed, so we decided to have a pool day and do some washing.

We got back to the hotel and surprise surprise most of the group were already there, don't think anyone really liked it. We found a lot of us had misplaced passports and bags last night and lina had no idea where her bag was. We put some washing in and went for a swim and a sunbathe, really relaxing just what we needed.

After we were relaxed we headed off into town for some dinner and we went to this Gumbo place was nice. Ash ate blackened chicken and becky jambalaya. Lina still couldnt find her bag so went back with anne to the hotel to call the police. We then headed off to a jazz club watched one song and went back to the hotel with a stop for a hand grenade drink on the way and sat by the pool and had a drink with a few of us, later the Danes came down and they had found linas bag in their room which they had trashed the night before (broken toilet seat, sick in the bin, etc haha) and we had so much fun looking through their photos and videos it was like the hangover film as we couldn't remember most of the night before!

As for New Orleans it has been the only place on the trip so far that I haven't felt safe, but we still had a good time. Thanks to the cheap drinks and good company!
