First stop of the day was Acadia Village, where they have replicated a typical Acadian village on the bayou using old original buildings from around the area. When the Acadian's were expelled from Acadia (Nova Scotia) this is where they came as refuge. The local indians called them cadians which eventually turned into cajuns. It was so pretty and there were little turtles and lizards everywhere.

Next off to see some big lizards, alligators actually. We did the Cajun Man's Swamp tour. We had read that he had a dog called Gator Bait who wasn't with him so I didn't dare ask where he was. This was awesome the swamp itself is great and the alligators, snakes and birds were amazing. Near the end he parked up in the swamp and sung us some cajun songs, he did say with a chuckle we were welcome to leave if we didn't want to hear them but seeing as we would have been stepping into an alligators home no one took him up on this. It was fun although some of the songs were kind of bizarre and in French.
