Friday Flashback – Drakensberg Mountains & Kingdom of Lesotho

Hiking in the Drakensberg Mountains

Leaving the Wild Coast, I spent a few nights in Durban to catch up on my blogging before heading onward to a lodge in the southern Drakensberg Mountains.

From there I did a day hike to see some old San rock art, and a morning hike in Lesotho, which was dampened by clouds and rain before we could reach the peak we'd set out for.

    The mountains are beautiful! I like to see something like that here. Green mountains and fresh air.

    So green!!! I'm sad that I didn't get to visit Lesotho when I was in SA. I hope you do another post on Lesotho, I'd love to know more about it. Durban was fantastic btw! How beautiful is the Indian Ocean?
