Can't believe we've already been here for a week! We're busting a move around the country trying to see things before we start our overland tour up to Namibia. There's a ton to do and see in South AFrica - we really don't have enough time. But we spent 4 days in the Drakensburg mountains, which was great. One of those days we went on a day tour to the country of Lesotho - the name of the country meaning "high up". It's way up in the mountains, and is much more "traditional". We met a sangoman (traditional healer), saw some ancient rock art from the Sans people, tried pineapple beer, and just took in the sights. Very interesting seeing how they live. The school teacher there gave us the tour for much of the day since school was out for the winter. Some of the kids have to walk for an hour and a half to get to school, so they shut it when it's cold.
Our tour guide that evening then got very drunk at the hostel and gave us more insights into the African culture - very enlightening!
