12/2006: San Francisco: 'go to Alcatraz....'
Alcatraz is a must-do for everyone. This fascinating tour of a former federal penitentiary offers self-guided (with headphones) ranger tours and night tours. The ferries to the island leave from Pier 33 and cost around $19 for adults including admission. Reservations in advance are recommended, especially during the summer months as places are limited and get booked up very quickly.
Tip: Take your own food and drink as there is a limited and expensive selection available on board the ferry. Make sure you have a warm jumper or jacket even if it seems to be a hot day, as the wind can suddenly get viciously cold and blustery. A nasty gust took one of my contact lenses out!
