Lesotho is a soverign nation situated wholely within South Africa.
Democratic parliamentary constitutional monarchy and a member of the United Nations.
Pronounced: li-soo-too
Slogan: Kingdom in the Sky.
Saying: Khotso, Pula, Nala (Peace, Rain, Prosperity)
Claim to fame: The only country entirely above 1000 metres (lowest point: 1400m above sea level).
Maletsunyane Falls (186 metres) at Semonkong - "The Place of Smoke"
One-hour hike to get here
Rondavels
The white plastic bag on a stick pole indicates that homemade traditional rural beer is available here.
Incredibly, I saw exactly the same kind of signal (white plastic bag on a stick pole) used in rural Peru for homemade beer
- despite being an ocean and a continent and a culture apart.
Lesotho citizens are called Mosotho (singular) / Basotho (plural)
The official language is called Sesotho.
All school age kids that I saw, girls as well as boys, had shaved heads
They don't seem to mind at all
Just proving I was there.
