Last weekend, my better half and I had some business to do in Mohaleshoek area. This is on the West side of Lesotho, sort of Zastron / Wepener side. So we arranged weekend "babysitters" for the kids, although they are not babies any more... Left Friday AM, entered Lesotho via Matatiele at Qachasnek and rode all the way along the Senqu on that nice and windy tar road. Nice relaxed ride, dodging some rainstorms (successfully) and stayed fairly dry. Winter was in the air however..... Arrived at our camping spot in a poplar bush, and relaxed around a fire for the evening. Did our thing with the locals and all on Saturday, and packed up on Sunday morning. Rode along past Mohaleshoek, out at Wepener (breakfast at Lord Fraser) and pushed past Ladybrand, Ficksburg, Clarens, Golden Gate, Bergville, Winterton, and back home. We went through some wet and dry cycles at we hit rain at Ladybrand, Ficksburg, Golden gate and finally from Pietermaritzburg and through to home. Fisrt time my wife did a 700 km day on the back, and she still loves me! Great little outing, just the two of us on the road. I can recommend it! Apologies for not taking enough pics - we were busy.....
