26th August 2013
Today we did had to take Benny the car back :(. We then did a much needed wash in the creepiest laundrette in the world.
After that we got a free shuttle from the hotel to Fisherman's Wharf. We spent time on Pier 39, seeing the sealions and getting some lunch.
Then we headed to pier 43 for the boat to Alcatraz. We had booked onto the night tour.
It was very windy on the boat!!
It was an audio tour narrated by ex correctional officers and cons which was brill and took us all over the island. Because it was the night tour both the kitchen and hospital (eek) were open to explore. The hospital was the scariest place ever.
Following that we went to a programme called 'Murder and obsession' by a tour guide called Jim B. It told the story of a couple of inmates but was a bit awkward when he started crying and the end (and Lauren laughing).
Back on the mainland we went to Hard Rock on pier 39 for a chocolate mousse and cocktails. The barmaid was amazing and didn't charge us for 4 drinks.
After that we headed to a fab bar called Novella where the walls mimic a library and all the drinks are named after literary characters. They also serve punch on tap.
It was closing time after one there so we then headed to a great place called House of Shields where again we had free drinks! Such a funevening. Lots of love xxxxx
