Sebothoane!

Saturday was a day off for us and we enjoyed some of Andy's amazing eggs for breakfast.  A lady came to our place to show Anne and Sharon some of the crafts made in Lesotho.  They took time to determine which crafts would be most suitable for resale with Bracelet of Hope back in Guelph.

After lunch we climbed up the Sebothoane and the hike was adventurous for us.  We met Robert, a sheep herder along the way, who was kind enough to point out the route up the mountain for us.  We then just relaxed at the top of our climb taking pictures and enjoying Stoneys!  On our way down we crossed the path of a bull who decided to chase us for a little bit creating some excitement for us!  We met at the Leribe Hotel, our one and only dinner spot and greeted the rest of the Bracelet of Hope team including Rob G and Rob B.  Rob B. won the prize for the greatest inability to stay awake through supper… that was my prize last week.  We stayed later and met some very friendly Lesothoans who joined in our video call with Rylan and Addi which was amazing.

Back at the bungalow at 11pm we were greeted by a post-grad party taking place just behind our place.  There was a group of young adults coming and going while a steady beat of dance mix music was playing including lots of reverb and distortion.  At first we were joking and dancing ourselves until we realized this party was going all night…it is actually still going as I type at 6pm in the evening.  There are guys wearing hard hats, lots of alcohol flowing, fire burning and bbq food along with dancing in and out of the place.  It is quite the scene.

It didn’t help me at all to get to sleep as I’m a light sleeper even with the help of ear plugs.  I watched every hour of the night pass as Sharon pretty much slept through the whole thing...
