We thought a bike tour of the great city would the easiest and probably the quickest, so we walked to the bike shop but on the way we pasted a cemetery, which we decided to have a quick look at. I’m telling you, some of those tombs are huge and really a sight to see!

Once at the bike shop we rented two Cadillac’s, and started on our tour. We saw a lot but I guess I’ll just mention the few hi-lights. We drove along the Riverfront and saw the city from a slightly higher spot, which was pretty sweet to see.

Next we made our way to Café du Monte, where we ordered some beignets, which are the most amazing sugared treat! Coupled with a mocha frap and I was in heaven! Then we made our way to The Original Pierre Maspero’s where we had Jambalaya, crab cakes, Blackened Redfish… Real traditional New Orleans cuisine, which was so good. I loved it! We also got to see the Superdome (where the Saints play) and a pretty sunset.

After riding our bikes down Magazine Street, we then we parked our bikes, locked them up and headed on the streetcar to Oak Street, where the mid-summer Mardi Gras was being held. Wow, crazy people alert!!! There are no words I could possibly use that could describe the sights you see at a Mardi Gras in New Orleans, so I’ll just show you some evidence…
