Arrived at the hotel in New Orleans on Wednesday afternoon after a great stop at Abita Brewing. Enjoyed their open bar and tour and met some great people, including a couple about our age from British Columbia who were on a similar extended travel tour and were also on their way to New Orleans. As would have it, we ran into them again in the city a few days later. Andre really enjoyed the brewery tasting room. As you can see, they allowed you to pour your own beer samples right from the bar taps. The tour also included a short film and a walk through the brewery.

Next it was on to the hotel in the town of Gretna, just across the Mississippi and a short bike ride away from the Algiers Point Ferry, which we used on both Thursday and Friday to get into New Orleans.

Shortly after our arrival on dry land it started to storm and downpour, with occasional lightening thrown in for good measure.
Managed to tour a bit between the deluges and spent a few hours walking the French Quarter before heading back to the ferry to cross back over and ride our bikes back to the hotel while it was still light. Here are some random photos from New Orleans over the two days including some great food we had (Jambalaya, Red Beans & Rice, New Orleans Chili, etc.), and also our trip to yet another brewery (NOLA).
