Sightseeing in New Orleans

There's so much to see and do in New Orleans, that these are just a few photos from The Wombat's trip!

First off, here he is at the entrance to the French Market. (It's actually daylight; there was something wrong with the exposure, ooops.)


Here he's admiring the St Louis Cathedral from across Jackson Square.


He did get to go on an evening dinner cruise on the steamboat Natchez! (He was a bit wobbly getting off, after drinking too many Hurricanes.)


He also had more than a few drinks up and down Bourbon Street, and brought home the Mardi Gras beads to prove it!

The Wombat in Spain

The Wombat had such a nice relaxing holiday in northern Spain that he forgot to have more photos taken... This one is from a town called Potes, in Cantabria.

Pirates in County Donegal?

On a recent visit to Bundoran in County Donegal, The Wombat was amazed to see that there are apparently still pirates roaming the northwest shores!

Watery Ireland

The Wombat likes to look at water as long as there's no risk of falling in. So he was happy enough to pay a visit to Glencar Lough and its nearby waterfall as long as he could admire them from afar (or at least from behind a safety rail).

The Wombat visits Chatsworth House

No visit to Derbyshire is complete without going to see Chatsworth House! Here's The Wombat getting in the way of a decent picture of it.


And here he is, trying to admire his own reflection in a piece of garden sculpture.
