Red bluff and Nawlins’

It’s back to New Orleans before we get to Florida and maybe a bag will appear !

Red Bluff was created by the erosion of the west bank of the Pearl River. Its red clay, soil, sand, and other colourful sediments. and it rises to a height of 350 feet .The bluff slopes sharply into the Pearl River floodplain and it’s impressive with shades of Bryce Canyon ! It’s a bit off the track but we’ll worth it ! Great colours! There was a road but well it’s been eroded and it’s remains edge the Bluff !

It’s Memorial Day here and some places are closed so we head down to NO !
We’re early so we take in a few odd sites - the art deco Lakefront airport a real wow! And since it’s near the hotel Dr. Bobs folk art but the Music box village is closed !
Once settled in hotel in town we walk to Canal street and pay homage to Ignatius J Reilly and the confederacy! ( thinking of you John ! ) and then take in the sounds and smells and vibe of Bourbon street and the French quarter ! It’s wild and weird as usual . A meal in the Gumbo Shop and a walk past Preservation hall and we are home !

Post script , whilst walking on Bourbon street we meet fellow passengers who appear to have hit their luggage yesterday !!!

Post post script - Hugh and family have had delays and have not got further than Amsterdam ! Nightmare times !

PPPS - I now have socks and underpants - the world can breathe again ! Czytaj więcej
