Everything from World Heritage Sites
This category include articles from the World Heritage Sites which Sandalsand has visited. Please head for the menu choice World Heritage for an introduction to what this is all about. On that page you will be able to read about my desire to visit the heritage sites, and also how difficult that is. At least, if the wish is to visit them all.
