Museu da ÁGUA

Da min kongres var afsluttet i Lissabon havde jeg en halv dag før jeg skulle hjem. Min kollega ville gerne følges, men jeg ville på museum. Hun ville vandre. Så det gjorde vi så hver for sig! 

Jeg ville finde et sådan rimeligt lille, sjovt museum og endte med at tage hen til akvædukten på billedet her. Altså - et museum om vand ville være sjovt, ikke?

When my congress ended in Lisbon I had half a day before going home. My colleague wanted to do stuff together, but I wanted to go to a museum. She wanted to take a long walk. So we did! Separately! 

I wanted to find a quite small, fun museum and ended up going to the aqueduct on the photo. You know - a museum about water sounded fun! Right?

Det kostede kun 4 Euro at komme ind. Prisen burde måske have nedjusteret mine forventninger lidt! 

It only cost 4 Euros to enter. The low price might have adjusted my expectations to a lower level!

Ej, det var rigtig fint at se! Bygget i 1700-tallet for at sørge for vand til byen. Det fineste byggeri med en lille smule hældning så vandet løb den rigtige vej. 

Man kunne gå inde i akvædukten eller på en af siderne (med forskellig udsigt). Det var det. 

To be honest, it was really amazing! Build in the 1700's to make sure the city had water. Very nicely build with a slight slope to make sure the water ended up in the right place. 

You can walk inside the aqueduct or on either sight (with different views). That's it.  

Inde i bygningen var der forskellige skilte med oplysninger. For eksempel det her. Skal vi bare sige at det var en lille smule spooky at gå derinde helt alene og at lige det her skilt om en massemorder ikke gjorde det mindre spooky? Hans metode var dog at få folk til at falde ned fra akvædukten. Ikke at snige sig ind på dem indenfor. Heldigvis! Hans hoved står i formalin på medicinsk museum i Lissabon. Jeg har det fint med at jeg ikke så det!

Inside the building were different signs with information. For instance this. Let's just say that it was a bit spooky walking inside the structure all alone and that this sign about a mass murderer did not make it any less spooky? His method, though, was to make people fall off the aqueduct. Not sneaking up on them inside. Fortunately! His head is conserved in formaldehyde in the medical museum in Lisbon. I am feeling very happy that I did not see that!

Der er den fineste udsigt fra akvædukten. Lissabon er en rigtig fin by! 

Det er så også lige det område som flyene mere eller mindre letter over, eftersom lufthavnen ligger midt i byen. Det gjorde mig taknemmelig for Tårnby, hvor jeg trods alt ikke få flyene i hovedet på samme måde. (Kun ved afbrudt landing)

Museet ligger så også i nærheden af en stor park med udsigt over vandet. 

Så alt i alt syntes jeg at jeg valgte rigtigt!

There is an amazing view from the aqueduct. Lisbon is such a pretty city!

It was also the area where the planes more or less took off over, since the airport is in the middle of the city. It made me happy for Tårnby where I live, because the planes are not flying over my head like that. (Only if they have to abort a landing)

The museum is also near a big park with a pretty view over the water. 

So all in all I do think I picked the best thing to do!
