New Orleans | Our First Trip Together Part Two

When we woke the next morning, we took advantage of the greatest accommodation a hostel can give you: a home-cooked breakfast. The India House Hostel sure does know how to treat people! There were a few meals to choose from and the prices ranged from $5 to $10ish. After our bellies were full, my girlfriend and I set out for our activities for the day!

First on the list was the Natchez Steamboat ride/lunch.

The food was amazing, and the atmosphere was awesome. The staff were so attentive and sweet. They offered to take our pictures and talked with us along the ride. It was a wonderful time, but be warned. This can definitely be something that will make you seasick or motion sick. We vowed to avoid doing too many boat rides on our vacations for this reason.

After we were safely back on land, we needed something to drink. So we set out to The Outlet Collection at Riverwalk.

After cooling down, we went to the aquarium where we ate a not-so-satisfying lunch. After that, we knew we had to go take a nap. The Louisiana heat was too much for us even in November! So we took the streetcar back to The India House and napped until dinner time.

After our nap, we had a ghost tour scheduled with French Quarter Phantoms! Well, we actually had two, but the second was the next morning. So we met with our tour guide Hope at the Voodoo Lounge. She told us all about the spirits that haunt The Big Easy. After our tour, we walked around the French Quarter by moonlight.
