Cruising the Douro - a photo on Flickriver

Cruising the Douro

            Someone else’s tour boat, taken from ours. We saw an early 20th-century documentary film of intrepid boatmen poling rafts of port wine barrels down the rocky rapids right here, risking their lives to bring the product to market in Porto. Now the whole river has been tamed by a series of dams and—due to the unusually steep descent—unusually short locks. All the Douro ships are custom-made for this system—carrying fewer passengers than those on other rivers, and entering locks only in daylight hours because the tolerances are so tight. 
Geotag is inexact.
Happy Travel Tuesday!
