What do you know about the Alcatraz? We wanted to go on the night tour when we were there because my husband thought that it would be more fun. We didn't bought the tickets ahead of time and found that the night tours had already sold out. So if you want to go to the night tour, remember to buy it ahead of time. Go to there official site to buy the tickets because there are a lot of places out there just charge you outrages cost for the tickets.
Anyway, so we went to the day tour. It was supposed to be a 2 hours tour. We spent almost 4 hours there! We got to listen to the escape story. The guide said that they didn't really know if there was really an escape attempt because the Alcatraz is about 1.5 miles offshore from San Francisco and the water is quite cold to swim that far. I sure don't want to swim in it. We went to the beach there and the wind almost blow me away!
After we heard the story, we went to the cell house and took the Audio tour. I highly recommend you to take the Audio tour if you go there. It just gave you a really good idea of how the prisoner lived. I think if I were them, I would be really depressed all the time because not only you were in prison but you could see the beautiful San Francisco through the widows. You could see it and imagine how fun it would be but you couldnt do anything about it. After we finished the Audio Tour we were so tired and didn't want to walk around anymore so there are still places there we didn't visit. We'll wait for the next time and we will go to the night tour!
Here are some products that featured the Alcatraz:
I heard they never found any bodies after the escape, but the people were not in jail anymore. Maybe they're still alive today...
