After a 10-hr Amtrak bus-train-bus journey, we finally arrived in San Francisco, the City by the Bay!

The package we booked includes the Alcatraz Island tour too. We were scheduled for the 11am ferry to the island. The island served as a lighthouse, a military fort, a military prison and a federal prison in the past.

I am currently spending my 1st night in Taipei after reaching here at 6am this morning. I still need to get over a bit of jet lag though.
