Le carrefour de 3 continents

Underneath Djibouti's national symbol are the words, le carrefour de 3 continents. From my French studies, I remembered that carrefour means roundabout, but that didn't seem to fit so I looked up the meaning here and found that it translates to crossroads or intersection. I'm more inclined to opt for the translation, the crossroad of 3 continents; Africa, Asia and Europe.

After the unseasonably cold weather in London, it felt good to embrace the warmth of the sun's rays and I marked the onset of another year by the poolside of this swanky hotel, gazing out across the expanse of the Indian Ocean.
