    No power & Raffles with Ryan

    September 25, 2023 in Singapore ⋅ ☁️ 31 °C

    No power in the hotel from 11am - 5:30pm pushed us out for our last full day in Singapore (We had no desire to be on the 10th floor with no air conditioning!). We were to spend the afternoon and evening with Ryan so after taking some ‘travel toys’ photos we had an early lunch and caught the train to City Hall.
    St Andrew’s Cathedral was closed for renovations but we had a hot and steamy look at the War Memorial and the ongoing pack up from the F1.

    At 2:15 we began our 90minute high tea at the Raffles Hotel. One of us drank Pink champagne (not realising that it was twice the price of ordinary champagne).
    See if you can pick which tower of food was the special selection (gluten and dairy free).
    The hotel is beautiful and we enjoyed a special time there accompanied by a woman playing the harp.
    Ryan’s day off meant he could join us so we caught up a bit on his recent travels and the world of theatre life.
    This was a once in a lifetime treat and we all agreed it was a great thing to do together.
