Day 4

All aboard for Memphis but first drinks with the Captain and then the safety routine and drinks just prior to pre dinner drinks and then wine with the meal and then a nightcap in the Captains bar after the floor show where they also served drinks.  I don't think we will make Memphis!!

The brown wall is a sliding gate that forms part of the levee bank when closed in times of flood.

Judy and Rose in the French Quarter market looking for bargains.

Alligators are popular here.

This is the American Queen (not the best angle) which is the largest steamer on the river.

The gang planks at the bow of the boat and the main bridge into New Orleans.

Strange looking smoke stacks at the front of the steamer whIch fold down when travelling under low bridges.

Another couple in the next cabin from Australia.

The safety drill with some of the 450 passengers.

Some of the passengers being choked by the ill fitting life jackets.
