Shore Leave at New Orleans!

As a seafarer, the most waited moment will be the shore leave we get after a hectic working life. As a cadet on my first ship i was really excited to get the feel of the real shore leave. Im lucky enough as i got the permission from my chief mate for shore leave at the first port itself. I was really happy because that was my first foreign trip in my life and that too in US!!

But the time was very limited as we still need to do our duties at port, but the excitement level kept me to for leave ignoring the rest hours! haha...it was worth it of course! I visited Borboun Street, New Orleans, got a bit culture shock as it was a totally different environment! The place is actually a tourist spot where i saw lots of streets with bars pubs and souvenir shops!Had a very good time there with my fellow crew and officers!
