Today was quite a long driving day as went inland to see where the grapes were grown for the famous port wine.
It is extremely picturesque, and at our lunch stop our guide told us to look at the top of a hill to see a man in a black cape.
She said that it was one of the best advertising symbols in Portugal and they call him 'the man in the black cape'.
I thought that they could have done better than that and called him 'Gerald', or something similar, but he is the mascot for Sandeman port, and we went to his vineyards.
They were on the steep hillsides on both banks of the Douro river and it was very scenic.
Of course we had another tasting session, then it was goodbye to Gerald and back on the road home.
