Day 21 – Austin, Texas to Louisiana, New Orleans y’all



We headed off early in the morning and made out first stop at a park somewhere in Texas to test out our gas burner for breakfast.  The scrambled organic eggs, peppered organic black bacon and organic field mushrooms was by far the best breakfast we have had on the trip, the pasty dry scrambled eggs and sugary bread of hotel buffets a distant memory!

We checked into our hotel in New Orleans and shortly after we found ourselves at infamous Bourbon Street. If you are unaware of Bourbon Street, think of something really seedy and times it by 10. There were strip clubs and disgusting bars stuck together within a one kilometre street, with plenty of graphic pics on the exterior of the finer establishments, just in case you mistook these places for a library or something. For those who still weren’t sure what these places were all about, strip club girls would be out the front trying to entice you in with their goods.

We headed to the Funky Pirate for some local music, with Big Al Johnson on vocals. Cheap and nasty drinks did flow…. from our plastic cups into the drain when we decided it wasn’t worth the pain!
