Thanks for these. 2 posts in one day!! It has always been a dream of mine to fly a route tracing the entire coastline of Africa......Since it's hard to take so much time off from work and all, google earth is the next best thing. I am currently scouring the entire coast of Africa. SUch an incredibly beautiful place. he-hee :-) So I guess you guys do read all the comments? Thanks for these. 2 posts in one day!!
