And some more photos :) This set was taken on our second day in San Francisco. We booked an Alcatraz tour and caught the 10am ferry (26/06/07). Have you ever seen the movie "The Rock"? Sean Connery and Nicolas Cage is on it, hmm i might hire it on dvd and watch it again, anyway this movie was filmed in alcatraz :)
It's hard to believe that this maximum-security prison was once a home to the most notorious criminals in America, circa 1934-1963. When we docked on the island, we have already noticed that the buildings are very old, some already deteriorating, but seeing the high fences and walls, there's no doubt that this was a prison, it gave me goose bumps as it was the very first time i've ever been to one.
We did the audio tour and we were given a headset and a player each. The audio was well put together, it was being narrated by one of the prison warden, some of the original guards and prisoners, so off we go with our imagination and viola! another mind blowing experience. We were especially intrigued about the escape attempts that happened inside the prison. Have a look at some of the photos we took inside alcatraz :)
