We stayed at the house of an enterprising Basotho who is involved in agriculture, horses, and tourism. The next day he arranged for us to take a cultural tour of his village.

One of the more memorable stops was to see a traditional healer. She even brewed up a glass of traditional medicine for one of us having stomach problems.

The highlight of the cultural tour for me was a song and dance performance by a group of Basotho women. They also demanded that our girls put on the same skirts and dance with them. Everyone was enjoying themselves. :-)

The last item on our itinerary was a pony tour of the surrounding countryside.

The sure footed ponies could traverse the steep mountainside with ease. At one point I let my pony run as fast as it wanted. I had no idea how intense and taxing it is to ride a horse that fast! My legs were sore for days. :-)

Lesotho has to be one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Everywhere we looked there were stunning views.

On our way back to Durbin we stopped in to see my friend Tieho in Pietermaritzburg. It was so good to see him again! Last comment 01/06/17. Viewed: 1286 times.
