After arriving in to LA at 7.30 am on Wednesday and then getting a connecting flight to New Orleans at 4pm we were slightly buggered and feeling tired as we had been on the go for about 28 hours. After checking in to the Old 77 Hotel and Chandlery we went for a walk, had early dinner, (Mmm fried chicken from Popeyes) we tried to get some sleep.
Off to a slow start on Thursday and did a walk along the Mississippi River to the paddle steamer to get some ideas of what to do. We walked back to the hotel and I was surprised to see a good friend waiting in the foyer. Debby had driven from Houston to stay the weekend in New Orleans with us. Turns out Bronte and Debby had been planning this for a month.
After that shock, we went to the Riverwalk shops and got some new shoes. We then had dinner at Butcher, which was a really funky cafe.
It had been a long day so we went back to our room to see if we could get some sleep.
