We ventured into the lovely Lesotho last week. For a country completely surrounded by South Africa, it couldn't be more unique. We expected it to be quick similar to SA but the customs, appearance and personalities of the people were so different. Also, the landscape was amazing. We drove into the Drakensburg Mountains from the Lesotho side on some pretty hairy roads. We chose to take the '4x4 only' roads across the country and weren't quite sure if we were going to make it.
We spent some time pony trekking in the west and then drove through the mountains in the east. Our pony trekking guide was supposed to tell us about life in the hills and the Lesotho culture but he spent most of his time asking us how to become a Canadian citizen and if we could get him work there.
Our last night in Lesotho was spent at the top of the legendary Sani Pass. The guesthouse at the top has the self-proclaimed highest pub in Africa. It was sure nice having a pint or two after the crazy roads in this country. For example, it took us 7 hours to get to this pub and we only drove 200kms!!!
