The Water
Gardens
With the happening of EXPO98 in Lisbon, the last
Great Exposition of the 20th century, in which the main theme
were the Oceans, a new set of gardens and recreation places
rised in the east part of the city now called «Parque das
Nações» (Nation's Park), in which the Water Gardens are
inserted.
Description:
The Water Gardens are divided into several distinct
zones, which are lined up in a West-East direction and extend
for about 400 meters. The sequence in which they're organized
allows the visitor to be in contact with several components
of a natural hydrological basin.
In the first area it is possible to find the water course,
following next the evocation of current and a cascate. And let's
not forget the evaporation for a full understanding of the water
cycle. Let's highlight also, the Hydraulic Garden, where several
pedagogical games can be found, and finally the Wave Garden where
the surface and movement of the sea water is
replicated.
In this description page you can
find a document with more information about the Water
Gardens.
Notes:
-
The Nation's Park is very visited by turists, so
this area may be a little crowded, mainly on the
weekends.
- The best time to search for this
cache is on weekdays. However if you choose a weekend to find it
you should go early in the morning or late in the
afternoon.
- If you see there are lots of
people passing by you should consult the cheat as soon as possible,
so that you won't be noticed as looking for something and don't
draw all the attentions to you.
- Last but not least, I suggest
that when you find the cache you walk away from that place and open
it somewhere else, where you can discreetly appreciate it, so that
the place where it's hidden won't be found by curious people. Take
the same care when hiding it
again.
