Scott woke me up at 11.30am so we could get ready for our City Tour of New Orleans, he’d been up a few hours already as he had a few less drinks than us the night before. We headed down for some lunch downstairs before waiting for our pickup. Bus arrived a little late, just after 2pm and after a few more hotel picks we started the tour. We went through the French quarter, garden district, business district, warehouse district, St Louis II cemetery, City Park and the 9th ward where the worst Levee broke during hurricane Katrina. The tour guide was really good and gave us lots of interesting information along the way. One of the funny stories was that all buildings in New Orleans can’t really be built above 55 stories tall as they need to drill down pylons like 70 feet under ground until they hit rock to support it. Donald Trump had planned to build a 76 story building in the cbd but since Katrina it has been put on hold. Our guide said that if it goes ahead it may be known as the leaning tower of trump!
