A day where we didn't have anything planned. Checked out after a bit of sleep in. Went to the library and spent some time on the Internet. Had lunch at Wendy's. Walked along the riverfront, listened to buskers and watched the paddle steamer depart. Went chasing shopping malls, on the riverfront, in town and down Magazine Street with only limited luck. Gave up and had a nice Italian tea, retrieved our packs and sat around for a while before going to the station to find that the train was five hours late. A very frustrating day. Both of us were glad to leave New Orleans. So much potential but very shabby and neglected. Too many hustlers. Not terribly safe. Rather tacky.
