Other than many times from Canada to the USA by car, bus, train, bicycle, and on foot, the most exciting border crossing I have done is from Costa Rica to Panama on the caribbean coast. This rickety old bridge seperates the two countries...
I was wondering how many people do many overland crossings between countries? On many of my trips I usually open jaw into one country and out of another. This can include rail, road, ferry or by foot connections.
44. hong kong-macau & v.v. (ferry)
I don't believe going from one place to another by ferry can be a "valid" classification of "land border" crossing unless the ferry ride is on a narrow water passage way such as a river or the two places actually share a river or physical land with each other in a way. The 1hr+ ferry ride from HK to Macau is definately nowhere close to be classfied as a "land border" crossing. HK & Macau does not share any land nor river borders and the 40-mile distance between the two is not a narrow water passege way nor river.

Where do you draw the line?
Would you say that a trip from the UK to France qualifies if you use the tunnel but not if you use a ferry?
Does crossing the Oresund from Copenhagen to Malmo count as crossing a land border now that there is a bridge?
If there are tunnels and bridges linking the two then I would consider it as a valid land crossing even if done by ferry. But there are no bridges nor tunnels connecting HK to Macau so this one is not even close to being a "land crossing".
