Remember Good Times Here?


Way back in the 1970s, when the world was a simpler place, this building was the heart of a holiday empire. The location is Mozambique, Beira, and this old shell of a building is the Estoril, where I can remember eating in the ground floor restaurant, and visiting friends staying in the rooms above. It was quite a weird feeling standing on the road looking up at this and then across the road at the old lighthouse - unchanged except for the fact that the rotating light does not work anymore, and has been replaced by a much less powerful flashing bulb.
