I got to Biloxi this morning at 6am. My bus to New Orleans wasn't leaving 'till 30pm this afternoon. Outside it was rainy and grey. Not good for a beach town.
I was here for the Hard Rock Cafe of course but I didn't want to go out and look for it at 6 in the mroning in the rain.
I turned on my computer and suprisingly found a very good internet connection. So I got to surf. watch some TV Shows and skype.
I was around 10 when the rain had finally more or less stopped, so I got my stuff together and headed outside. The first thing I saw? This:
Can't recognize it? No I didn't mean the horrible weather. Here's a close up:
Jup, the Hard Rock Cafe was basically right there. The special thing about this Hard Rock is that it is not only a Cafe it also includes a Hard Rock Hotel and a Hard Rock Casino. It's three for the price of one!
I went in there and discovered that it was also kind of a mall with a starbucks. I got Coffee sat down for a while and then strolled through the little shops before it was time to go catch the next Greyhound.
The bus was an hour late (when are they ever on time???). We took the highway along the gulf of mexico, at least for a while. From the bus, no oil could be seen.
When I finally got to New Orleans it was 7 instead of 5.30. Now I had to find the hostel. Google at told me that it was 43 minutes to walk. i find that google exaggerates most of the time and let me tell you, it was wrong again this time. It took me 1 hour to walk to this place!!!! I was dead when I got there I swear. Anyway, I thought that with that walk, I had earned the beignets I would eat in the morrning at the Café du monde.
I finally got checked and was looking forweard to a shower and my bed. I chatted with my new roommates for a bit (two sisters from Australia and a girl from Newport RI) then I took that shower and it made me feel like a whole new person :)
After that I threw the clothes I had on on the bus and my blanket that had been lying around in not sooo nice places into the washing maschine. Before going to bed, I tried on the shoes I had bought with Sunshine again, just for fun :) I still love them¨!!! I was in bed by 11pm.
Good night
xoxo
