I made it!

After 40 hours in transit I am finally in Lesotho and have the passport stamp to prove it! The drive from Maseru to Hlotse was stunning. The landscape is otherworldly; we are surrounded by ragged mountains, flat plateau rocks and winding river valleys. The vegetation, the dirt, the cows, chickens, bulls, the clothes, homes; even the clarity of the sky is different here. It is a remarkable feeling to find yourself in such a far and distant land. I have already heard some wonderful stories and that was just from Andy on the drive from the airport. I am exhausted. I have only slept sparingly, probably a total of 4 hours over the last two days. I am disoriented, worn out and sore, but the first three hours here have been incredible.
