A visit to the website at http://www.skyscraper.org made it seem a must see visit for building geeks. I assumed it would be as interesting as some of the kind of documentaries on Discovery Channel (I did warn I was a bit geeky on these things!). The museum w…

…h the backdrop of sweeping beach and sea this fits the bill perfectly. The hotels seem quite cheap even in the peak season. We had a drink in the Riveria hotel and again it feels like you are caught in a strange time warp. Both the decor and the service is very 1970s. The food and service in the hotels and restaurants is good enough, but again feels a few steps behind. This may be as there is a lot of transient passers through, and so they can get…
