No one told us it was impossible to get back to your hotel once the music ends at 7pm

It was total mayhem as thousands streamed out of the festival ground. We were desperate for a rooftop swim at the Omni Hotel back in The French Quarter, but not a cab in sight and the buses back were full, full, full.

"Eek, we are stranded. Any ideas? " I asked my buddy, Highland Fling.

"Zilcho. Hitching a ride, go ask that man in the white van if he is going near the French Quarter."

But no joy. Suddenly a night in Shining Armor appeared.

"Pedicab, best way to travel! Only $60 back to your hotel and you can travel in comfort and style."
