Lesotho

We went on a guided tour and saw Khoisan cave-paintings just across the border from South Africa.

I went to Sani Pass on a day drip from Underberg

Took a short trip through the Sani Pass. Had great local bread and beer in a mud hut and enjoyed the scenery along the way.

We visited Lesotho as a family back in 1996 because my dad used to spend his holidays there as a boy visiting his grandfather who ran the QM store in Leribe. The house is still there and my dad told us of how he first saw an aeroplane there – it looked like a car but it went around the house and took off. That moment sparked his wonder with aeroplanes but unfortunately he did not become a pilot as his grandfather was paying for his tuition and instead said he should become an engineer. It was great to actually see a part of my dad’s childhood.

While we didn’t enjoy our short time in Maseru, once we got out into the rest of Lesotho we had a wonderful time. The scenery is simply stunning and the people were very friendly.

Vegan food is hard to come by, however…
