One month, eleven countries (12 if you count Tibet, 14 if you include 2 technical stops), eleven UNESCO World Heritage Sites, five continents (six including the technical stops) 62,028 km via plane, 462 km via bus and 82 km via…

Geocaching Around the World – China

Have you ever looked at how many (or rather, how few) geocaches there are in China?
