Game: Guess the city!

I explain myself - honnestly speaking I am speechless.
I looked at the picture and thought "Hm, brown laterite roads, rusty tin roofs, probably Africa"
Lush vegetation, must be in the middle.
A large lake or sea, some islands.
The main island has a very special L shape.
I went to Google Earth, hopped around a bit around the great lakes, did a tour around Kenya and decided that Bukavu have be the better chance. The specific L-shape of the island was the most convincing.
So, Google Earth rocks!
Btw, I have never been in Bukavu. I heard that Bilgarzia contamination is a big problem.

The magic tool named google. I searched for Bukavu, and you could clearly see that it was correct. Way-to-go Regi! :thumbsup2:

sorry guys, but again I have to skip my turn because I don't have a coopermine account. And with that other picture gallery thing, hm, I don't want to register.
So please dear members, take my turn.
I am out for 2 days , from Belgium to the Danish border by car.
2 x 750 km, a load of cd's and automatic transmission, way to go.
