old clips of the douro

[Ken Gargett]

for anyone interested in vintage port, or portugal in general, a couple of fabulous old cl;ips of taking the barrels down the river. things have improved and the new highway and bridges make it a quick and easy trip, though always worth going one way by train as it goes right along the river - one of the great train journeys in the world.

Douro has to be seen in person to appreciate.  All the slave labor to build those terraces would be impossible to do today.  It should be one of the "wonders of the world".
