You probably wonder where I am? Here is a clue: S33º55.284' E18º53.176.

Well I've bough a few African atlases. A 1:3500000 and a 1:1500000 (S+E
Africa). Not the best details, but better than normally. It also has some
1:35000 and 1:15000 parts with borders, but they are wet like the Victoria
Falls and the Caledon river border at Maseru. They do show provencial
borders as well.

I spotted another African international quadropoint. I am not sure if any of
you guys have thought about that before. It's Sudan, Kenya, Ethiopia and the
Sudan area administered by Kenya. It appears also to be a Kenyan
pene-exclave as there is only one road to the area from Kenya. There is no
such pene-exclave situation by the Egypt-Sudan adm/pol bourders.

If I get a good map of the area I might try to find a municipality tripoint.

On the flight I enjoyed the inflight moving map GPS feature. As I flew over
Bulawayo, Zimbabwe I discovered a clear line cut through the landscape like
at CAUS and NOSE, but checking my map it unfortunately was not a border -
what could it have been?

That's all guys.
