I am also a tripoint virgin, but I also want to boast!! I have been to the southern most point of Africa. This is the non-political tripoint where Africa borders Atlantic Ocean and Indian Ocean. Pretty strange as we were driving on a big road along the coast for the point, suddenly a road sign points inland north. Well we followed the signs and eventually got there.
