New Orleans, USA, 9th November 2014.

We decided to visit Algiers Point on the other side of the Mississippi River.  This involved a ferry trip.

.

The river is what opened up the region and is still a major commercial thoroughfare.  Lots of freighter and barges.

.

And this is the Natchez, that we took a voyage on one evening and listened to the Dukes of Dixieland.

.

A tug pushing several huge barges.

.

And a cruise liner on the other side of the river.

.

Once across on the ferry, we went for a walk.

.

There was even a blue Police Box, though no sign of the occupant.

.

It was a Sunday afternoon, perhaps not the best time to visit because very little was open.

.

.

.

The old and the new.  The Natchez in front of the cruise ship. Guess which I’d prefer to be on.
