boundaries that we cannot find even one more Campobello clone???<br/>

&gt; <br/>
&gt; also the fact that there is no definite border on this causeway <br/>
&gt; may also serve to distinguish penon from ceuta & melilla<br/>
&gt; thus leaving you in fact with nothing other than what you sought<br/>
&gt; except that it was more a cosmic than a strictly human creation<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>I would be very interested to learn more about what you call <br/>
a &quot;causeway&quot; from Moroccan soil to Penon de Velez de Gomera, because <br/>
from what I have read, I visuallized it more as a long skinny pile <br/>
of boulders, not appropriate for vehicles.  Can you point me to a <br/>
photo or recent description of it?<br/>

<br/>
Gulf of Thailand - Phu Quoc - belongs to Vietnam - might be 40 or 50 <br/>
kms from Vietnam mainland, but looks to be quite close to Cambodia. <br/>
If it is bridged to Cambodia, that&#39;s a Campobello-type.<br/>
<br/>
Eastern Andaman Sea - all those tiny islands clustered near the <br/>
Myanmar-Thailand border - is it possible that one of them is bridged <br/>
only once, the &quot;wrong&quot; way?<br/>
<br/>
Red Sea, Atlantic Coast of Africa, etc, etc, anywhere that a little <br/>
island might be tucked closer to its neighbor than its motherland <br/>
and thru a set of circumstances it is bridged only to the neighbor.<br/>
<br/>
Actually, I was thinking that someone might already have a mental <br/>
list of these ready to share. Guess not.</div>
