So we went to have tim sum @ Chinatown.
A not-hungry man is a happy man!!
We walked past a fruit seller and see what we saw:
LEW LIANS ah!!After the very FULL-filling brunch, we walked to Fisherman's wharf for jalan jalan*

i like this shot! The camera lady was.. extraordinary!
a ship during WW2 for exhibition
a home-made submarine
Soon we walked to Ghirardelli - a famous chocolate brand
i absolutely adore this shot. so in-motion!there was this chocolate festival there, and we were given coupons by a kind hearted boy who couldn't finish and had to leave. So we heh heh, had some chocolates... and we bought chocolates from the shops there! WARNING: do NOT buy your Ghirardelli chocolates there.. elsewhere sell so much cheaper! We kena conned.
we sat down at the beach, basking in the...relaxing atmosphere, bidding time before going to... Alcatraz -yeah, we booked tickets way beforehand to take the trip into Alcatraz.
on the ship viewing the shore.
Alacatraz
one leg standing
inside the Jail.My take on Alcatraz..
Surely a tourist attraction, but thats about it. I've been to the jails and torture chambers in Cambodia which took place during Pol-Pot's regime. The jails there were not significantly furnished to be "good enough to be a tourist attraction". I remember it really felt eerie and lifeless at the jail... and the glass tower of skeletons and skulls were...a little nerve wrecking.. cos the vast numerals of skulls was gross. eeks. a chill would run up my spine.
Alcatraz is pretty pretty sweet sweet.. But I took the night time tour.. so the bonus was that I could take the ship down the SF Bay...and watch the sun set against Golden Gate Bridge. A real beautiful sight... *awwwws*
After the tour, it was quite late...and me and nana walked back to Amsterdam hostel... and perhaps we have covered enough mileage to kill some fats, heh.
