ALCATRAZ

This is how island looks from one side.

View gets derelict on close inspection...ahem...

I suupose this would appear as - "View 2 freedom"

Only Bright spot in this Gloomy place !!

Lone Sailor !!

Ouch...I craned my neck too much :-(

View of Golden Gate amidst Fog.....!! Very slight

* People say that trip to SFO is not complete till you take a ferry to Alcatraz. I found the place cold ( brrrrr) and very depressing...no wonder...prisoners also didn't like it much...Dah! No wonder they finally closed the place and turned into a reserve park.

* What I really found very interesting was tourist ( yeah yeah.....I was also that....but...) they were either clicking or getting posed in all those cells...just imagine you walk near a prison and then you see only these hands fluttering from 2 small holes...and some screaming for the effect....ahe...creepy....! Thanks but " NO THANKS".....

* Menu was good - so that got your head turned right !! Yeah good meals....lol.... this made me retrace my steps to mainland to find food.
