America Trip Day 2

The 2nd day begun with breakfast at 6:45am, with a ferry to the infamous Alcatraz Island.




At the island,we were briefed by Ranger John, and headed off for an audio tour inside.



We learnt lots of things about daily life in America's maximum security prison.
This is a picture of the showers (privacy was a privilege )



The sound effects and commentary by men who spent time in Alcatraz created a engaging and immersive experience.


Ms Manokaran poses next to the solitary confinement cells. These were pitch black, and one prisoner said that he would pass the time by breaking off a button from his clothing, tossing it onto the ground and trying to find it in the dark.

For lunch, we stopped for pizza and salad at a gorgeous park next to the Levis Headquaters



The photo is terrible reference, but the pizzas were MASSIVE. 


Next, was a visit to to the Golden Gate Bridge where the key scene in Vertigo occurred.

We had Italian for dinner!




Tomorrow we will go to GOOGLE Headquarters! Keep checking the blog for a virtual tour of your favourite search engine :)
