Malealea with AB

Second time to Malealea, but this time with my favorite person. :D

We were a bit worried that it was forecasted to rain both days, but the weather turned out ok!
The first day we decided to hike to the waterfall - essentially continue past malealea lodge, then down the hill and follow that river down there.

Beautiful river bed with AB and our guide Jalulu.
Our guide Jalulu said he was struck by lightning 3 times and is still alive to tell the tale! He also said he had to drop out of 8th grade because his grandfather retired so he didn't have any more money to attend school.
Here we are at the waterfall! Can't leave without taking a dip right?

ON the way back we took a slightly different route.  Look how far we've come!

The next day we decided to do some pony trekking! It has been a loooooong time since either of us have horse riding.

Taking a break to enjoy the gorge view.



There's maize on the left and sorghum on the right...or the other way around? Anyhow, enjoying the Basotho Mountains!

Alan was not so comfortable with horse riding, so he had his personal guide. 

Saying good bye to Lady. 

So cute >_<

At the end of our stay we went to the local village and ate traditional Basotho food with a family.  Here's the cook with his mother and niece and nephew.
