Day 6

Today we went Pony Trekking in Malea-lea! The clinic is closed on the weekends, so we rented a car and decided to go on a day trip.

took this on the way to the lodge, there really is no separation between town and country and road and field

clear and to the point

gotta appreciate a good sense of humor

Lorine!

Me!

Lina!

Kim! (she's multifaceted)

saddling up

this is what i though our whole trek was going to be like... (peaceful, relaxing, and simply walking down a dirt path)

view from the pony

mountains. (Lesotho is also called the Mountain Kingdom)

locals taking a daily jaunt

kids playing outside

this is what is ended up being. i'm not sure how much you can see from the picture, but about two feet from where we were riding was an abrupt drop, so any pony misstep would mean me being catapulted off a cliff. needless to say that i held the reins tightly in my hands.

more abrupt cliff drops!!

after about two hours we arrived at the waterfall where we stopped for pictures and ate lunch

our guide to the waterfall

another picture of our waterfall guide (wearing the traditional lesotho blanket)

through mountainous cliff and rocky crags I made it to the waterfall!
