World Heritage Sites update

[peteyoung]

Updating my list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites that I've visited. Last time I looked in 2012 the list had increased to 944. It's since been increased to 1073

How did you manage to visit Arles, Avignon and Orange but not the Pont du Gard? And have you really never been to Greenwich?

[peteyoung]

Arles, Avignon and Orange are from my hitchhiking days circa 1983. Pont du Gard was simply not on my route map, unfortunately.

And Greenwich: yes I have, only a couple of years ago with Miles and Benji. +1 more!

Neat list.

I'm a pale comparison, but I at least have you to thank for bringing Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump to my attention. If only I'd known when I was in Alberta! Next time, eh?

Canada
Dinosaur Provincial Park

United Kingdom
Tower of London
Maritime Greenwich

United States
Yellowstone National Park
Grand Canyon National Park
Statue of Liberty
Yosemite National Park
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

Just eight. I'm surprised by how many I've come within a few miles of without visiting: Giant's Causeway, Independence Hall, and several US national parks. Missing parks is especially odd considering how many others that aren't UNESCO sites that I've been to.

Editing note
Updated to include Maritime Greenwich, which I overlooked the first time through. Thanks, drplokta! (And Rob Hansen, for taking me there way back when.)

Try and get to Liverpool before they strip the status due to the waterside redevelopment.

[peteyoung]

That's actually on the cards for the next couple of years, Benji being a Liverpool fan.

Brand new one as of yesterday is only an hour's drive from me and it's a lovely spot. http://thechronicleherald.ca/novascotia/112610-grand-pr-named-world-heritage-site Grand Pre.
