Well , an unusual day

We were hoping for a quiet relaxing day but …..
The morning started with frustratingly not being able to obtain boarding passes! Britis Hairways strikes again ! Not by my phone and not by my kindle and not by the hotel computer ! More computer glitches ?
Breathing in we decided to go for breakfast down on Bourbon street at the Beignet cafe in Musical legends park - an odd collection of statues of jazz greats ! Across the road is the old Absinthe house !

The old cemetery of St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 is considered one of the most haunted cemeteries in America. This cemetery takes up a city block with 700 tombs and 100,000 graves, dating back to 1789. However to gain access you need to go on a tour - we bulk at the cost and head to Armstrong Park for more jazz statues and the Congo Square - ancient First Nation and then slave bartering centre!
We walk back for a coffee at the hotel and get more frustrated on the computer ! Weird! My sister in law offers to try on her phone and it works first time - weird- and we have sorted our boarding passes !
Now I am chilled so decide since we have to take the car out we might as well drive across town to ancient tree of life - it’s old c 1740 and very big and impressive ! Then we manage the modern maze paths .
It’s still only mid day so I propose a trip across the river to see the bayou and have lunch at Bouttes bayou .
Then it gets weird …. It’s a tropical storm …. It’s raining very very heavily and the streets are flooding ! Now we know what flash floods look like ! We get out of the road to the bayou and cut to the airport !
We’re very early but we’ve deposited the car !
And then the Britis Hairways flight is delayed ! Snafu !
We will get home some time ! It’s been a grand tour !Leia mais
