We will be visiting this beautiful but disadvantaged part of Southern Africa with the Kick4Life charitable initiative, meeting some locals, helping fund some HIV testing, playing a game of soccer against the locals and pony trekking in the mountains.

Our Time in Lesotho
We got to Lesotho at the end of our trip - it was just the tonic needed after the England/Germany game down the road in Bloemfontain. Our first night was in a beautiful guesthouse in Morija - we shared it with 13 England fans from all corners of that country - they spent the evening entertaining Joe + Talia playing cards whilst Joe taunted them about their rubbish team.
Then on to Malealea for the Kick4Life event - we took part in some HIV/Aids awareness execises with the locals and then played a game against the local team.
Our team comprised david + Joe and a bunch of other Aussies and Poms with a local goalie and centreforward. We drew 2-2 and beat them on penalties !!! Not bad on that pitch and at a heck of an altitude!
Went ponytrekking in the afternoon and left the next day for Joburg.
