Now I see what you meant by going west..

Er, Port Harcourt? Didn't know it was a university town, though.


[For the record, Kasane is in Botswana; west of Zim.]

Now we're getting warmer, but not Banjul, Port Harcourt or Accra, although they each have logic.

KeMac you are absolutely correct, it is Ibadan. The palm frond passes to you!

(Thinks: I'd better put away my more obscure photos!)
