New entries 2003 (July 2003)

Yesterday, July 3, 24 new sites were added to the World Heritage List. Gambia, Mongolia, Kazakhstan and Sudan got their first entries. From these new additions, I have already visited two: the well-known Kew Gardens in London (UK), and the Historic city of Valparaiso in Chile.

Two magical islands (March 2002)

A childhood dream came true: visiting Easter Island. Finally I could see the famous statues with my own eyes. It was also my first visit to the Pacific, and certainly not the last. Besides this, I also went to Chiloe, an Island just below the middle of Chile.
