My Saturday in New Orleans started with parking at the same parking as the day before, however this time I opted for 24 hours parking (52 bucks) rather than paying several times smaller amounts in various parking that would have totalized more than this. I still find it pretty crazy to pay more for parking than for my motel (usually in the 40-45 range) but it didn’t look like I had much of a choice… I could still come back in the morning the following day before leaving New Orleans since for the price I could leave and come back.
I then wandered through the streets and took several shots of a more modern side of the city.
After a few hours walking I stopped at a local Starbucks (again?! Someone is addicted…) for a sandwich (cheaper than a meal at a local restaurant) and the usual latte and tried to write a couple posts to try and catch-up a bit with my blogging.
After walking a bit more through the main streets, I finally went back to Bourbon Street before sunset and appreciated a cold beer listening to some bands for a while.
I also asked a couple of bikers nearby a shiny Harley Davidson, how they dealt with parking in the city, and the guy pointed at the little cloth over his license plate: the police can’t fine me, they don’t know my plate and they can’t touch my bike… Interesting! After leaving them I wondered if not knowing the plate would prevent the police from towing the bike… As I had already wasted USD52 on parking, it wasn’t making a difference for me anymore…
A bit tired and a bit low-spirited from having nobody to share the whole experience with, I decided to end the day earlier than the previous day and took the direction of the motel. I also would leave the town directly in the morning. Did I miss anything?
Coucou Phil, sympa de voir tes postes au fur et a mesure de ton voyage, mais je suis un peu perplexe 🙂 Tu as 1 mois de retard ? Ou que tu sois profite bien de ton aventure.
oui… je suis deja rentré à Vancouver, mais je n’ai pas eu le temps de bloguer tous les jours pendant mon periple. Donc je blogue après coup, de mémoire et d’après les quelques milliers de photos que j’ai prises 😉
