(Deutsch) Die Perle Südafrikas
My three days in Cape Town were almost to short to get to know the city properly.

Visiting the Basotho
The first 24 hours in Lesotho was dedicated to getting to know the Basotho (as the local people are called): We visited a sheep shearing shed, have seen some traditional crafts and dances, visited a traditional healer, and stayed at a rural homestay. Continue reading Visiting the Basotho
