Us at Gatwick for the start of our journeyWell, how y`all doin?? Atlanta seemed really nice tho` we didn`t have much time to look around ... just a walk to the Martin Luther King tomb and memorial where a homeless drunk called Jamie Lee tried to become our first friend ... then wandered through a let`s say slightly downmarket patch of town till we got to a huge high rise hotel, then zip-whoosh up 73 floors in an outside elevator (Ant freaking out!!) to a revolving bar with amazing views of the city all round. Then off to bed as up early for train to New Orleans.
Just landed in Atlanta
Train delayed for an hour coz the longest freight train in the world was in the station and not moving! Eventually got going only to find more freight trains holding up our progress, plus broken tracks to fix, plus our train hitting a (very small) tree! All in all only 2 hours late (= 12 hour trip) as we pulled into New Orleans, so straight to bed with room service din-dins. So many nice people on the way - first impressions of the deep south very good...off to the Mississippi to see the steamboats, see y`all later
