Stayed here for a few days R&R after Sharon was presenting at the AAO conference.
First, city overview. Our American friends were surprised we were staying so long in New Orleans, but we found it well worthwhile from a cultural, architectural and gastronomic perspective. We looked round the garden and warehouse districts for the first few days of our stay and then spent time in Bywater and the French Quarter.
Enjoyed the plantation and swamp tours, eclectic dining and Frenchman Street.
Accommodation? All fine. Taxi driver tried to put us off walking around at night, but he took a silly route getting there. All perfectly safe.
We really liked Bywater. Even dropped into a real estate agent.....
Bonus for us was the bikes. These meant we were able to do pretty much what we wanted, easily any at no additional cost. Hosts provide sensible bike lock, so no worries there.
Country Club was a blast. Saturday morning was our finale before long flight back to the UK. Look it up, then go.
