Before we left home I tried to book tickets for Alcatraz on line but it came back that there were no places available until the 14th August so we tried at the ticket office and were told there were a limited number of tickets held back for "early bird" sale each day, so at 5:30 this morning I joined a line of around 60 to 70 people all hoping for tickets. We made it and got tickets, Esme was absolutly delighted as this was one of the main things of her list for the holiday. The girls were really engrossed with the tour often dissappearing to follow some item on the audio description that we each had on head phones. The island is more pleasant than you might expect from a maximum security prison but then the families of the guards used to live out on "The Rock" Thes visit turned out be be a great sucess with all of us.
Walking up the hill to the Prison.
This may be agood idea for all teenagers :-))
