New Orleans

We decided to have a little ride on the riverfront streetcar then do the open top bus tour.
So first we got ourselves a 24hr jazzy pass for the local transport, great value at $3 each.
We road the full length of the riverfront line which is a really good way to view the river.
Then as it was a bit cold for doing the open top bus, we decided to see as much of the city as we could by streetcar, at the end of the riverfront line we changed cars for the Canal St, City park line which takes you right up to the north end of the city almost as far as lake Pontchartrain.
We then road the same car back to St Charles Ave and switched to the St Charles line through the university and business district.
The whole thing took us about six hours including coffee stops.
So just about the best $3 we've spent on the whole cruise up to now...lol.
After a bit of shopping in the Riverwalk mall it was back to the ship for a well earned rest.Read more
