... hot southern air and with dishes like cajun fried chicken, jumbolaya, gumbo, red beans and rice, fried catfish and po-boys on the menu we quickly realised that this was no place to lose weight! (There was definitely no Heart Foundation tick on any of the food we ate!) Ben's favourite eat was a bar called 'Coops Place'. A buzzing little bar with good tunes blasting from a stereo, sultry waitresses, sweaty chefs, and the best cajun fried chicken known to ...
Day 19 ... New Orleans!
... lucky happened to us. Two girls asked us to come to a free Trolly tour trough the City. Of course we thought that can't be free but after getting to the Trolly and talking with the boss, we found out that the business is new and that's his idea of advertising ;-). Good for us!

This is a top pick!
... a large TV showing the new HBO show Treme. If you haven't had the chance to watch it, please do. It follows life in New Orleans after Katrina.
