• We woke up in Louisiana this morning. We hadn't realised it the night before but our cabin was actually on stilts above the swamp.
  • We tucked in to our Cajun breakfast and drank orange juice from jam jars while our hostess Betty told us stories about the swamps and a creature called the Rougarou who lived in the forrest and could turn you in to stone.
  • Afterwards we went for a walk around the grounds.
  • There were all kinds of animals including a 100 year old turtle which weighs 200lbs.
  • We were told not to be scared of the alligators as they have stopped eating until next year.
