Sani Pass

We were in Lesotho for a few days. Most of the traveling we did was via 15 passenger vans. What that really means is they fit in 17-19 people and then load bags and food everywhere they can. Its difficult to move or stretch at all, Im usually completely covered other peoples stuff. We went to Katse for a night. It wasn't too exciting but there was a local village that was nice. From what I saw, Lesotho full of people living in the rural mountains riding horses everywhere and farming.

Next we took vans through the mountains to Mokholong. We travel by van from 530 am to around 8 pm through mountain passes, including a 6 hours wait at a bus station (empty gravel parking lot). We transferred vans twice, once we got out of the second van we were in the middle of the mountains and fortunately there happened to be a truck there. If there wasn't we would have had to asked the locals to sleep in their huts.

Yesterday we went over Sani Pass and found a nice hostel on the South African side. Its beautiful here and the hiking is really nice. We are paying around $11 a night (150 Rand) for a bed. Tomorrow I think Ill head to Durban and make my way down the coast to Cape Town.
