LESOTHO
We entered from the south at QachasNeck.a lovely impressive drive along orange river with arid mountains,big river gorges,little rural villages,simple stone or mud and stick houses,men on donkeys,herders minding goats and sheep,not many vehicles,many people walking,manybwearing the traditional basotho blanket.
It felt different to the other southern african countries
LESOTHO 17-18/11/2013
We dis a 2 day drive through Lesotho
It is a small,poor,country,surrounded by South Africa
It has one of the highest HIV rates in the world,about 26%.this is not obvious.there were few signs about HIV or its prevention.we saw no obvious victims.drug treatment must be working.
