We have now had our annual rainfall plus, and it is still raining as I type this. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Returning to March 2023 an unforgettable 3 days going to and climbing the Sani Pass between South Africa and
Lesotho. One for your bucket list, the narrow pass is 33 km long with the first 14km having been tarred,
but the rest is loose gravel with frequent tight hairpins and no guard rails! <a href="https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=590654907&rlz=1C1CHBF_frFR1076FR1076&sxsrf=AM9HkKnt4yACORelCJ1nm6DZL2HvhKVZqA:1702497505782&q=sani+pass+images&tbm=isch&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiOpsC4mY2DAxW4TaQEHQTQBwwQ0pQJegQICxAB&biw=1536&bih=707&dpr=1.25" target="_blank">Google</a> the photos!!

traversed in a 4WD driven by an expert! The road climbs at 33% (1 in 3 in old money!) from an altitude 1,500
metres (5,000 feet) in South Africa up to over 3,000 metres (10,000 feet) in Lesotho. Even in summer at
the top, there's a strong cold wind. The Lesotho angora goatherds wearing thick coats are everywhere,
riding horses to control the 4-legged fortunes! Grateful thanks to Gordon and Julie for making this trip possible. Especially Gordon who was our expert driver.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Most photos are self-explanatory but where needed I have added a comment.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSVPHw8mRoSZI9nqx8PjN8OhmQNeszmW-waG3oQFEwZlXIZTkW8nOgF4EDNoaLkMRoMMCs5GlOc-AbXqCpvK5kFmlVr72fN93EMkVhQO5PtJ_KmJ_tg2S6E011RmqFOe_8KJ4oUW-IqMG_7PEv5Fo8Zz7VeSeZoDxdDQ18B52TsKqJN5Ynho-L2mjFGi0/s1992/080323_Holiday_Sani_mobile_8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Since then the sun has been out and it has been constant work trying to catch up with the garden. The little drizzle this morning has me at the computer for a bit trying to catch up on just a few of the many photos I took over the 9 weeks in South Africa. I managed two posts in the early part of the holiday, but after that things go a bit out of hand. We had a magical time and saw so much, sadly no wild dogs or leopards but other than that we saw most of the wildlife of Africa.</span></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijDiq3wz3FR1RpmmsQWYOQDYdVZhxm2uxy5xTWbZ5yFXEqI6BX3xwNZKmitCx6PA8v5o7co3cMmxKUu-_dnSQ9fSWoc6lmz7lkA4b-EP4_k4D3giT2S6tyT0eNNm3uzFx0lIDQoJen0wO3VBYvG7yDup9C-w8IwElIWjV0-fjyUp97KSundUBcOqGr/s1500/150223_Holiday_PE_Alyse_Talbot_Diane_Nigel.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1177" data-original-width="1500" height="502" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijDiq3wz3FR1RpmmsQWYOQDYdVZhxm2uxy5xTWbZ5yFXEqI6BX3xwNZKmitCx6PA8v5o7co3cMmxKUu-_dnSQ9fSWoc6lmz7lkA4b-EP4_k4D3giT2S6tyT0eNNm3uzFx0lIDQoJen0wO3VBYvG7yDup9C-w8IwElIWjV0-fjyUp97KSundUBcOqGr/w640-h502/150223_Holiday_PE_Alyse_Talbot_Diane_Nigel.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Nigel, myself, Elyse and Talbot had a fabulous lunch at Back Street Grill.
