Breakfast at Lil Dizzies as recommended by our lovely cab driver, Bernice. She was right, a good plate of 'sunnies', bacon and home made hash browns, toast and coffee and we were set for the day!
For our last night in Nawlins, we just had to return to the Carousel Bar it is so good. Then a slow hot walk back along the lovely Royal Street, taking in a gallery of photographer Frank Relle's evocative work.
Our intention was to eat at Alfonsos above the Apple Barrel Bar in Frenchman St (our Airbnb host had recommended) but when we got there and entered the bar it was pitch black and we were told there was an electricity failure all along that end of the street. We had a beer all the same, not particularly clever on top of cocktails and Pete was confused about his change; asked the barmaid who said "you left a red on the bar" because we couldn't see in the gloom! A red, we discovered, is a 5 dollar bill.
After this and because we were so hot and sticky having not been in air con for an hour, rather than turn back to Royal or somewhere, we had dinner at Buffas on our way home, which was not good and because we were early in the evening, neither was the music. A young girl on guitar soullessly singing her own work plus some Bob Dylan. A shame when all the bars in town seem to have excellent musicians, our fault for not staying in the quarter.
Never mind it has not spoiled our view of this fantastic city.
