>Dear Herbert,
 
Thank you for your reply to my query. I have been to all the Unesco sites
on the internet but the relevant links did not give any information
regarding the location of the sites. I have also contacted Unesco and I am
still waiting for a map which they promised to send which apparently shows
the approximate location of the sites. They also said that as yet they did
not have a database which gave accurate locations for their sites.
Kind regards,
Liz Donnelly
