A lesson from Lesotho

If you happen to go to Lesotho do not have a set to with one of their sandstone corner posts.......

They are about as solid as the Rock of Gibralta and you will not win..... they tend to bring a reversing car to a very sudden stop. They are very unforgiving.

Love your donkey pic and the posts on the cats.

Wishing you a fantastic 2010. May it bring you great joy and happiness.

I hope you dont live too near the stadium my friend as I think June/July is going to be chaos. :); 2 January 2010 at 07:03

Fortunately we do not live too near to the stadium, but we have a good view of it from Richmond Hill. It is not in my opinion ideally placed for accessibility and parking, but hopefully that will be sorted out.; 2 January 2010 at 07:58

SAPhotographs (Joan) said...: Hello Max. I must remember that for the next time I go down there but this was such an unexpected opportunity. As I did not have my car there as I went up by bus so I did not have much chance to ride around and see the layout of the town but a friend spent one day showing me around. I have not been there since 1964 and found vast changes to everything as could be expected. I know you would find the same if you came to PTA as they are gearing up for the games.

What I wondered about while there was the accommodation as there is not much available from what I could see. The small places like Road and City Lodge plus the few hotels seem completely inadequate.

All in all, I hope the games are a success and there are no hitches. Now, is that being optimistic or pessimestic? LOL!!; 2 January 2010 at 09:36
