So we got up really early to catch our domestic flight at 8am to San Francisco from Seattle. Here's the real start to our road trip!
Hello boy!
The flight to San Francisco was an approximate 2 hours.
Excited because we landed!
2 retards lol.
Tita Zenny, Rob, Honey, Grace and Uncle Edgar!
Then we proceed for our car rental.
The cute boots which boy bought for me while he was away in Bangkok.
That's the van which we rented! Enough to sit all 10 of us.
There we go!
Before heading to our motel, we went for lunch at the Public Market.
That's our motel for the next 2 nights!
After some rest we got ready for our Alcatraz Tour next!
The weather was super super cold, it was practically freezing for me. Hard to explain how cold it was but most of the time I would use the white wollen scarf to cover my whole face up and sometimes even had to wear gloves. The wind factor makes it even worse.
But still, I prefer the weather in U.S than in SG! I never ever got to sweat a single bit, totally love.
Queuing up for our Alcatraz Tour. Basically, Alcatraz was an prison on an island in San Francisco which housed a few hundred inmates back in the 1950s and these inmates are usually those that commit serious crimes. So on one occasion (I can't exactly remember which year), 3 inmates tried to escape from the Alcatraz island by swimming in the freezing water across to San Francisco main island. 2 died due to the temperature while 1 managed to escape. From then on, they decided to close down the prison and hence opened it up for tourists to tour.
We had to take the cruise over to the island.
Freezing cold.
There, the island!
Finally we reached.
That's the morgue.
The main prison.
Rob.
The interior of the main prison which housed all the inmates.
So this is how the 3 inmates managed to escape the prison, just by using simple tools!
After the Alcatraz tour, we had dinner at Chinatown but I did not manage to take any photos which I can't remember why lol.
Day 3 to be continued!
