Day 298
Check-in New Orleans - zum 2ten
January 21 in the United States ⋅ ❄️ -3 °C
Heute wollten wir eigentlich weiterfahren und einen State Park ca. 2 Fahrtstunden westlich von New Orleans ansteuern.
Allerdings ging es in der Nacht auf heute los mit dem schlimmsten Winterwetter (hier in Louisiana) seit mehreren dutzend Jahren.

Als wir losfuhren zeigte das Navi keine 2h, sondern neu 4h Fahrzeit an.
Sämtliche grösseren Strassen inklusive Interstates wurden aufgrund des Wetters gesperrt. Auf den Strassen war kein (sicheres) Weiterkommen mehr möglich.
Das Hauptproblem: die Behörden verfügen hier über keine Schneepflüge (da nie Schnee) und können daher die Strassen nicht räumen. Man wartet hier auf die Sonne, damit der Schnee schmilzt. (AdR: das ist effektiv ein offizielles Statement der Behörden am USA-TV!!).

Nach ein paar Kilometern entschieden wir uns (wir waren ganz alleine auf der Strasse), noch eine Nacht in New Orleans zu verbringen um das Schlimmste auszusitzen. Die Weiterfahrt wäre schlicht zu mühsam (und gefährlich) geworden.
Die Dame am Checkin vom Campground war positiv verwundert wo wir denn herkamen. 😅Read more

Day 62
New Orleans part 2
January 6, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
Trip the the downtown area went well! Busy and sunny and noisy (and a bit smelly apparently). We took the shuttle from camp which was a tour all on its own. Greg, son of the former owners, has been here since 1995 and knows how to fit a lot of information into a small amount of time 🤣
Then we went for a walk in the French quarter and settled into a couple of bar stools at Cafe Beignet for brunch (and some beignets of course!). Live music, tiny tables and chairs, street noise and great food was experienced. A short stroll to our hop on hop off bus stop and we were on our way. It was a feast for the eyes and ears. Met some nice people, had some laughs, close traffic calls and enjoyed the sunshine from the top deck of the open air bus. As the loop was coming to an end, we both decided we’d like to do it one more time! A new announcer and a few detours had us on a different tour altogether learning new things and meeting new people. Highly recommend.Read more

Nice to find a campground so close to the city and they offered a free shuttle at 9 & 5 and a return shuttle at 5:45. Owner of the campground drove us in at 9am and gave us an amazing tour of the city. At 5, Maddie and Angus took it back for the Ghost tour and said he was equally good.

Pool, playground, laundry, and site all clean and well kept. Perfect spot to get to NO while camping.Read more

First stop in the bayou. Short but sweet. Nothing around but water, trees and the highway but the weather was lovely!
Traveler Beautiful!

New Orleans

Heute sind wir endlich an unserem Ziel angekommen. Von Shreveport (erstes Foto) ging es nach New Orleans. Unser Stellplatz auf dem KOA ist schön schattig und abseits von den Großen, die dicht an dicht stehen. Morgen fahren wir in die Innenstadt. Heute gab es nach dem Aufbau nur Kaffee und Kuchen. Dann nochmal ein bisschen einkaufen, nicht viel, wir haben vor, die Spezialitäten der Stadt auszuprobieren. Das Abendessen war heute auch wieder sehr einfach. Dann ab unter die Dusche und rein in den klimatisierten Camper.Read more

New Orleans
October 23, 2015 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 77 °F
We made it! But disaster strickes. The ice chest drain opened up in the trunk some time during the day. The trunk is soaking wet, but nothing is ruined.

We need to decide not only what to do while here, but how long to stay. Rain is on the horizon, but there may be worse in Texas as the hurricane moves north through Mexico. Right now we just need to dry out and rest.

Fortunately we still have that chicken salad that got overlooked last night in favor of the dessert now approach to stress relief. I did note, however, pints of Ben and Jerry's in the KOA freezer with an implied sign saying: In case of emergency break glass!Read more

Day 43
Never a dull moment...
December 9, 2016 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 45 °F
Last time we were in New Orleans, the KOA was flooded by a storm that dropped 10 inches of rain. This time the KOA was flooded by a burst water main. We had to move our trailer at 8pm to avoid the rising flood. Heather said I needed to say that I almost ran her down while we were moving the trailer, but In my defense, it was dark and I was excited by the flooding.Read more

We previously shared one KOA's wonderful halloween decorations. Our hostess Beth here in New Orleans is definitely in the spirit. She painted them herself.

Day 65
Rain has finally ended!
October 26, 2015 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 70 °F
Well the rain finally stopped last night after an afternoon and evening of downpours and wind. There was even a tornado watch that upped our anxiety level for a while. The final total for the rain fall was 8.7 inches.

The trailer did get a leak at the foot of the bed in the side seam where the sides fold down. We did not notice until the foot of the bed was very damp. But then we went into damage control for the next hour until the rain ended.

We had towels and shirts and who knows what hanging up in the trailer over night trying to dry. But it has been so humid and wet, that every time one of us went out, we would come back wet and need to switch into a dry shirt.

Heather had the brilliant idea to take the damp clothing over to the laundry room and stick it all into the dryer. So now everything is nice and dry again, except for the bed mattress which still has a damp spot.

On to Lafayette today!Read more
