Bloemfontein to Kimberley

 

Maseru to Bloemfontein

2 hours on a national highway.  Hectic sandstorm.  Beat the rain.  Lots of Afrikaans.  Lots of ANC.  Lots of racial tension.  Too many police.  Min graffiti.

Highlight of Bloem was visiting Cheetah Experience.  A farm focusing on the conservation and breeding of the endangered Cheetah.

Johannesburg to Maseru

100cc scooter.  9 hours.  430km (of which 100km was dirt road).  3 near crashes.  A city with no road names.  Overpriced 'backpackers'.  Friendly people.  Getting caught in an afternoon thundershower.  A beautiful sunset over the lake outside my room.  Painting what used to be the old stables for the police horses.

My time in Maseru (Capital of Lesotho) is done.
