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.
