Corregidor Island housed an army post known as Fort Mills, so a day trip to see it was in order
The ferry ride is quite quick and when you arrive you take a tram ride around the island looking at all the buildings that were destroyed during the war, and all the memorials to the war.
On the way you can take a 30 minute trip through Malinta tunnel which is just over 800 feet long, took 10 years to construct and now houses a light and sound show, which isnt too bad.
It is strange to see a bunch of ruined/bombed buildings, its almost as though time stood still 70 years ago, although there is now a hotel on the island where we had lunch that you can stay overnight.
Here are a few pictures
