New Orleans - Good stuff...Bad Stuff!!



11 November 2011 - Arrived in New Orleans. Beautiful place and good roads and non aggressive drivers - what more could I ask. Went to Bourbon Street and checked it all out - beautiful houses and lots of colour  and excitement. Bourbon Street has everything - girly bars - night clubs - restaurants. Heard some amazing singers and Lee tried her luck on a mechanical bull. She did a great job but walked like a cowboy for a day or two after. Unfortunately  - in spite of being extra vigilant after the theft of my purse in Times Square - I was pick pocketed again. A couple of hundred dollars and credit cards - no passports this time thank God. To make things worse our hotel charged us four times for our room which we only found out when we rang to report the cards stolen. Still trying to retrieve that money :)   Someone actually tried to use one card but the transaction failed - luckily. Feeling very low and depressed about these thefts. We spent most of the night until the wee small hours trying to sort out hotel bills and credit cards - absolutely worn out Miles # 59.5 (96 kms)
