Raffles


26 April 2008

The Billiard Room Buffet, Raffles Hotel, Singapore



Surprise, surprise, we slept for 12 hours! Today has been another typical "travel" day. We went out to lunch and later did laundry and re-packed for the flight to Sydney tomorrow. It is extremely hot and humid, even by Singapore standards, so we will probably spend most of the day just "mooching" about the hotel.

Lunch was at Raffles; a buffet in the famous Billiard Room where allegedly a tiger was found sleeping under a billiard table. It is certainly one of the grandest buffets we have ever experienced and this was our third time there. As always it was extraordinarily difficult not to over-indulge.

Tomorrow morning we fly to Sydney and on Monday we're back in Hobart.
