Links

I’ve gone back into the previous post and inserted links to sites that will provide lots of information about the places in our itinerary. Most of these are at Wikipedia, which we’ve found to be a terrific source of information for travel planning. And for understanding where you’ve been after you’ve been there.

Another good site is that of UNESCO World Heritage. There they list over 800 places worldwide that are unsurpassed in their beauty, their history, and their contribution to the culture of the world. None that we have ever visited (over 40 in total) has been a disappointment. The UNESCO site for the UK includes a number of the places we plan to see on this trip, either on their official list or on the ‘tentative’ one. I’m not sure what the difference between the two lists might be, as all the places are really nice!

There’s a link over on the right of this page to a Google map of our itinerary. For the moment it just shows the major localities that we plan to visit, but we’ll update it with side trips as the journey progresses.
