Raffles, Singapore

I traveled with Sarah and her parents -- in from England! They were great... it's always nice to find people you can travel with well. It was a good mix of group time and my own independent adventuring and exploring.  :)

Sarah and her parents, Robert and Sue.

Our first morning in Singapore, we took a walk from our hotel in Little India... into the city. We walked by this beautiful church...

...And made our way to Raffles Hotel. Sarah's parents were stoked about going to Raffles! This was the first I had heard of it... but it's apparently one of the world's most famous hotels! The hotel was opened in 1887 and was one of the first establishments in the area of Singapore!

You can visit the hotel's  website by clicking here...
And the Raffles Hotel Wikipedia article here...

The restaurant/cafe area was beautiful. There are also many shops and green space throughout the place.

I went back by Raffles the next night... here's a view from across the street...
