Some pictures of my recent Douro / Porto trip

Post by Ronald Wortel »

Just came back from a trip to the Douro and Porto, and I've added a selection of the pictures we made to my Flickr account.

Only a short trip, but a lot of fun! 8--)

Ronald,

Thanks for sharing the pictures - those photos of Vargellas and Vesuvio brought back some fond memories.

Hi Alex,

It was my first visit to Vesuvio (I've been there once before, but only looked at it from the outside then) and I was very happy to be able to visit that special place, and of course taste some of the stuff inside the barrels! It was great of the Symingtons to allow us there, while they were actually having their free weekend there.
