Singapore

From Sydney we flew into Singapore for a stopover. To give us a treat, we checked into the Raffles. This is not cheap, but worth it. They have numerous restaurants, bars, shops, a gym, a swimming pool, and an impeccable service. Taxis are comparably cheap and the drivers are very courtious. When we went to the airport for our trip to Frankfurt, our driver did not known the terminal where Lufthansa left and drove to a wrong one; he switched off the taxameter, went to another driver and asked for directions. He did not switch on the meter again and requested only the amount given on the display.



Relaxing after the 7 hour flight from Sydney. Easy in this hotel. We only went to the Long Bar tonight, for a small salad and a Singapore Sling.

A thunderstorm over Singapore. Tere was much rain here during our short visit.



What we can do against SARS. A sign found in a taxi...



Every room has a small area in the aisle where your can sit outside and have a drink.
