Turtles were hurt in the making of this...

Our second full day in NOLA starts with a tour of the swamps... Alligators, turtles and birds were our viewing material.




Apparently alligators love marshmallows...



Then we went to Commanders Palace - a place for collars, no shorts and 25c martinis.  Their turtle soup was epic and their soufflĂ© even better - although that may be the martinis talking...



Then off for a little walk and a little explore around the French quarter. Stopped at the Hotel Montalone's carousel bar - which spins (whether or not you've been drinking) for some drinks - thanks SJ and Tyson.


Then some music and oysters. Thanks for the BBQ oysters Barney and Emma!


We also had a little explore on Bourbon Street - it is probably the best known place to go out, but it's very touristy and full of Spring-breakers at the moment!



The street performers also left something to be desired!
