Panama City Beach #Day23

Driving New Orleans to Panama City Beach. 


Bags to coach at 8:45 this morning so had a little bit more of a sleep in then normal! 
The drive to Panama City Beach was pretty cruizy and we arrived by 4:30pm. 

We headed straight for the beach! Panama City Beach is a Spring Break hotspot and apparently voted the best beach in the world! 
We couldn't get over how warm the water was! 
  

New Orleans #Day22

A full day in New Orleans 
 
We were staying right next to the French Quarter. The French Quarter is all Spanish architecture because the entire quarter burnt down a few times but the Spanish were in charge the time it was last built. I really loved it here, it felt like you were walking back in time!  

We set off in the morning to try see as much as we could. It was 32 degrees and extremely humid!! 
We saw St.Louis cathedral:
 
 
the French market:  
 
By the river:
 
 
A few of our friends went to a really famous psychic reader and half of them loved it and half of them thought it was pretty average haha
 
 We continued to walk around soaking up the sounds of Jazz music pumping from inside most venues.
 
 
 
At 2:30 we headed to our Airboat adventure in the Byue! We hoped on a shuttle busses that took us out of the city to the swamp. We had about 1 and a half on the water trying to spot alligators! It was quite hard to spot them at first until we pulled into a secluded spot. Our tour guide was joking about how it's a great place to swim and before we knew it he and another guide had dived into the water! We couldn't believe it! A smaller sized gator swam over to them and they were playing with it feeding it marshmallows and sausages! It was insane. They could do this because the alligators are extremely territorial and don't venture far from the one spot so these two alligator had formed relationships with these alligators and the alligators come out because they get food! 
Albino alligator: 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
After the airboat tour we came back to our hotel for a pool party and drinks and headed out to Bourbon street for the night!
