jesper, so true about the location of the vatican border. i was in rome and
the vatican a few years ago. the best location i could come up with (only
after asking a few people) was the yellow line that runs partly around the
enclave was the "border". it was disappointing that there was not more
literature available on it.

oh, well...

Hi guys

I feel very lucky to stay so close to Peter. I look forward to seeing is
photos.

But I think he is right, we are not many. One thing that annoys me is first
of all the limited information there is to find on borders, I cannot find
anything in my library, but also most maps don't show interest in borders.
Just as I think I have found a good map I find that they have written a
place name right over where the tripoint. Does anyone know a good "border
minded" map?

In my quest for borders I have checked out travel guide books (also on
Basel). It's shocking to read loads of books on Rome, and still being
uncertain on the Vatican border.

A book on Northern Ireland showed the border between IE/GB with no border
control. It even said that several parts was even undefined. But I guess
there must be a definition somehow, like which country you pay taxes to.

Jesper
