Day 2-Raffles Hotel

After the Singapore Museum we arrived at the historic Raffles hotel, named after Stanford Raffles the founder of Singapore. It is a landmark in Singapore along with the Merlion and the Night Zoo so we were all very excited. Raffles is an old Colonial hotel that has been well maintained and kept much the same as it was at the turn of the century. We had a buffet lunch at the Tiffin room and everyone went back for seconds plus desert. There was amazing dal, curry and roti and lots of authentic sweets. After lunch we took a walk around the hotel and grounds which where beautiful and a strong contrast to the modern Singapore which could be seen over the terracotta roofs and white terraces.
