DutchHorn Profile

Why buy a book of the 1000 best places to visit if they are already been assigned as the World Heritage Sites ?  I have the goal to visit them all, but realize that is next to impossible.  So let's start with visiting as many as possible on my current travels.

Yosemite National Park

DutchHorn United States - 26-Sep-24

Yosemite National Park

In 2017, we took a two week long trip to California, starting in Los Angeles and driving from there to San Francisco. Along the way, we stopped in Yosemite National Park, where we stayed in a motel close to the entrance. We found out when we got there that we needed to get up super early to make sure we had a parking spot in the park.   We should have investigated finding a place to stay in the park, but it was too late for that. This park is very impressive with beautiful views and water falls but also a bit of a tourist trap due to long lines for parking and for lunch. We did make a nice walk at the end of the park and again took tons of pictures.

Kew Gardens

I have been to Richmond many times for work before, but never really realized how close this is to the UNESCO world heritage site of Kew Gardens.  This site is basically at the end of Richmond and you could almost walk to it if you had an hour.  I was just in time to get into the park and the main green house as they closed around 6pm.  These green houses and gardens contain samples from plants from all around the world that had been collected by various British scientists over the years while the British built their empire and traveled all around the world.  It has some very nice gardens with a variety of plants and gardens

Van Nellefabriek

I visited this sight around Christmas of 2021 when I was visiting Holland by myself and was driving from The Hague to Breda.  As many times before (either by train or by car) I drove by this factory which is in Northern Rotterdam, not that far from Delft where I studied.  As I had some extra time and had never visited before and was driving right by the site I decided to have quick stop.  So I did, I walked around the building which is now an office for start up companies and took pictures from all angles.  There are tours but as the country was in COVID lockdown, I was not able to go inside.  I tried to find a UNESCO sign but was not successful.

Statue of Liberty

In 2014, we took a long weekend trip to New York.  It was the first time I stayed in New York after two previous short day trips.  We found out this city has lots to offer as we saw tons of sights and barely made it of the island or even North of Central Park. On Saturday we did make it off the island as we took a tour to the Statue of Liberty, one the most touristy sites in the U.S. I had not visited yet. We got of the island, walked around the statue and took tons of pictures from the island and from the ferry.  We took a picture of me on Ellis Island.
