The last day of our holiday and what a way to spend it. The French Quarter Music Festival started our day with a parade down Bourbon Street - great fun with loads of mardi gras beads thrown into the crowds. We moved on to the open air stages to listen to music and enjoy the atmosphere before taking a street car ride to the Garden District. We got off at Auboudon Park but it was very hot so didn't stay long and made our way back to the music festival. A late lunch listening to more music and then we popped into Preservation Hall where the shows were free for the festival. A short rest and a shower at our hotel before finishing our day with a Dinner and Jazz cruise on the Mississippi.
The end of our 85 fantastic days round the world. I hope you have enjoyed sharing our travels in this blog and we are looking forward to seeing you all again when we are back in England.
