I've compiled a list of borders which are (theoretically) 'do-able',
ie. they are short enough that they can be completely covered,
surveyed and photographed in a day or two (or three :D). The idea is
that rather than having the odd photo now and then, a complete survey
of the border could be put online. I myself plan to do the San Marino
border completely in a year or so.

Anyway, here's the list:

EUROPE
Monaco - France (4.4 km/2.7 miles)
Liechtenstein - Austria (34.9 km/21 miles)
Liechtenstein - Switzerland (41.1 km/25 miles)
San Marino - Italy (39 km/24.2 miles)
Vatican City - Italy (3.2 km/1.9 miles)
Croatia - Montenegro (25 km/15 miles - applicable when Mont. votes
for independence next year, as it inevitably will)

ASIA
North Korea - Russia (19 km/11.8 miles)

AFRICA
Algeria - Western Sahara (42 km/26 miles)
Djibouti - Somalia (Somaliland) (58 km/36 miles)

CARIBBEAN
Saint Maarten (Netherlands Antilles) - Saint Martin (Guadeloupe -
France) (10.2 km/6.3 miles)
Cuba - Guantanamo Bay (USA) (29 km/18 miles - probably hard to do,
not a 'proper' boundary anyway)


Of course, there are many others that could be covered within a week
or two as well, however, these are the shortest ones that could be
done over a weekend. Any additions/corrections?
