World Heritage Sites

Talking of World Heritage sites, I was reading through the list to check how many of these I had covered. We love travelling and it would be cool to visit all of them! :)

"788 properties are now inscribed on the World Heritage List with 611 cultural, 154 natural and 23 mixed properties in 134 States Parties.

The list will be updated on July 2005, so lets wait and see if any more sites will be added.

I've visited 14 of these sites - so 774 more to go!
