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.
The publishing dates on all articles correspond to the date of the actual trip or day of visit. This usually means that the publishing date is not correct. Also, this means that my oldest visits follow at the bottom of all lists. They are in a reverse chronological order, from the newest to the oldest.
