Fremantle prison

It's was the most creepy place I've been. Because .....
The first thing i saw was










 So creepy and gross right ? 

Fine, back to business. It was so far one of the best tour i've been. It's a tunnel tour cost aud49, which is quite expensive i think, but totally worth the price. 
Camera wasn't allowed because you have to pay to see those stuff, not through my blog.........which is not really true, mainly because it was a tunnel tour and it was very wet and muddy down there. 

We begin with introduction and hisotry of the tour. Mainly about how they get the water (because of the tunnel) and blah blah blah....not really concentrate with the hisotry part and like fremantle prison was one of the oldest prison. If you want to know more probably just go wiki it. 

Then we had to dress up like some kind of mining worker.... 
little bear, ronny, me, jay

And we had to climbed the stair all the way down to the tunnel, i can't remember how tall was that, but was tall enough to scare me. But the safety preparation was too good that it was impossible for me to fall. 
When we were down the tunnel, we have to keep bending down because it was real low.


This is like a trial before we went down the tunnel to be familiar the height down there. But obviously it was very uneven since it was built since.....idk how long. So for like first time, Ronny was very happy because she was very short and she had the advantage of not bending too low like all the other ang mohs.

During the trip down the tunnel, the tour guide explained to us the history and how it was built, etc. Then, the best part was on the boat. 2 in a group on the boat, and it as like really low and very narrow 'river'. We don't even need the 'stick' to row the boat, instead, we just need to use our hand and push the wall nearby to 'row' the boat. Jay was sitting in front, so he was the one who did the hard work to row the boat, while me trying to observe anything creepy around.

The tour guide was funny one. Trying to make the trip really fun and not boring, He keep asking us to challenge his 'music knowledge' and see if he can answer us, which turn up he can't most of the time. -____-

Tour guide Tristan & Ronny
While we were down the tunnel, he wanted all of us to quiet and listen what was above the tunnel. And then there was this guy who said car, which was right. Meaning it was road above us. The tour guide asked us to be quiet again, and then we heard the car passed by and he said 'that's a honda', which was sooo................. cold. 

After the tour finished, we were given a certificate... so sweet. My certificate is still with Ronny =.=

But the funny thing is little bear's name was printed wrongly like GuZhang..... which was Ronny's family name lah ....


p/s: Pre-order the ticket online before joining the trip because the seats are very limited and only 12person for one trip
p/p/s: we were late for the tour because....... i wake up like really late and we had to take our brunch. And it was raining that day causing me not having the mood for the tour, but it still ends with heaps of fun.
p/p/p/s: It was a real challenge for me because i am afraid of height and water. I was basically shivering while going down the stair and thinking how far did i need to go more, but it wasn't that far as i thought. No point lor, young mah, must do something challenging :D
