After an un-eventful flight from Washington on US Airways we are now in New Orleans - one hour behind the east coast now on Central Time (minus 13 hours Perth). Contrary to my last blog I must have got it wrong. We have now heard that the correct pronunciation is "New Orlans/Orlins". Anyway, we are here and what a fantastic place. You couldn't get further removed from New York or Washington; culture, sounds, smells, people - yes they are even friendlier, food and "wow" experiences.
We're staying at the JW Marriott on the edge of the French Quarter. We took a self guided walking tour from the Lonely Planet guidebook, but first stop was lunch. I think we are eating our way around the USA!
We decided to try the first local cuisine restaurant we came to in the French Quarter - we hoped that it would be a good introduction to Cajun food, and there were plenty of people queued up. Fortunately as we only needed at a table for 2 we were let straight in.
