Colourful New Orleans

The plan today is to experience Mardi Gras. Got up as late as 12pm. What a bunch of pig we are. Haha. We took the ferry to old Algiers and there a shuttle bus waited for us to take us to the museum.

We had great fun trying on the costumes before going on to a tour of the place.

Sexy!

We learned a little more about Mardi Gras like the how the floats are made, what materials are used. Basically it is like rag at a large scale and of course with much more budget. Apparently there is actually a toilet in the floats for nature’s calling. HahaThe officially colors are green, gold and purple symbolizing faith, power and justice. Here are photos of us with the colorful and impressive floats.

Blaine Kern's Mardi Grad World is fun!

We did a little change of plan as the weather was too hot. Instead of exploring more, we watched a movie entitled ‘Then she found me’. It was a really good movie with strong message. It is also hilarious at the same time. Been very long since I watch such a good one. Only the 3 guys went for the movie as the gal wanted to check out the aquarium, which later she found out was closed and went shopping instead. Faints.

We went back to the same restaurant that we had lunch the day before as the food was good. Very unadventurous isn’t it. Haha. After that we headed back to the hotel for some rest. We need the energy to party again tonight.

Bourbon Street, where the party is

The crowd was less good as compared to yesterday. Still it was kinda good. Bar hopping is great! Someone who missed out on the party last night seemed to be making up for it with double the fun. Does extreme Judgemeister Shot ring a bell?

Upstairs balcony is a good for chilling. Hmmm what r they chatting about?

This Jazz band is good
