We're having a wonderful time in New Orleans. It's so great to be here during Carnival time or Mardi Gras, as it's called in the brochure. New Orleans is always lively, but it's so much more fun to do sightseeing here at the moment.

We have eaten some delicious food here; very hot and spicy! We have enjoyed music played by a great band on the famous Bourbon Street and have drunk a lot of cold beer!We've even been on a boat trip on the Mississippi and luckily I didn't fall into the river! Then, sadly, it's just one more night before we have to get on our plane .

It has been such an enjoyable time and it seems I have lived in a(n) dream . I've takendozens of photos and I even want to show them to the cabin stewards during the journey.
