Maritime Museum

After Belem Tower, a walk through the Maritime Museum. Such a wonderful sea-going heritage. I licked out peaking into a back room where the model makers were working. I was invited in and heard a 30 min history of Portugal and naval exploration.
Off for the gala dinner now but Lisboa is in chaos due to a Portugal vs Bosnia football match. Narrow streets + police VIP escorts for gov ministers + big bus + football fans.  Fun and games.
