Not that difficult - an African island!!

NOPE!

The Caprivi was named after German Chancellor Leo von Caprivi, who negotiated the acquisition of the land in an 1890 exchange with the United Kingdom. Von Caprivi arranged for Caprivi to be annexed to German South-West Africa in order to give Germany access to the Zambezi River and a route to Africa's east coast, where the German colony Tanganyika was situated. The annexation was a part of a treaty, in which Germany gave up its interest in the island of Heligoland in the North Sea and which other island in return of the Caprivi Strip? Caprivi didn't take Victoria Falls into account and so the route was not of much use.

Andre is interested. Please send us details.

It was the capital of Botswana (Bechuanaland) before Gaberone existed. I remember reading this in a travel book years ago.

Gandhi spent many years in South Africa. What was his profession whilst here?

Oops double post!

Kimberley? Remember going to an Air Force museum just outside of town about 30 years ago. At the time we really had a good laugh as the museum really had nothing. A few years back we did a cache just outside the gates of the place but didn't take the time to investigate if things had improved.

Your turn!
