We travelled into Lesotho via the spectacularly beautiful Sani Pass.
Although this is the only way into the kingdom from the south, it has
only been passable by vehicles for a few decades, and then only to those
with four-wheel-drive.
The climate is cool and windy - the village we visited was some 3000m
(10,000ft) abve sea level - and the landscape sparse. The villagers made
a meagre living from sheep farming, often involving the men staying way
for months seeking green pasture.
Despite their poverty, we found the villagers friendly. We were treated
to a mouthful of very tasty bread and a sip of sweet beer (an aquired
taste!).
