Pontseng Sebapala

The man called Rasilasi is the 1st person to stay at Pontseng,  Rasilasi who was staying in the rock that was being built by the bushmen in the early years back,  Rasilasi stayed there in several years until he decided to build a home at the nearest village called Pontseng and got married, his wife Masilasi had kids, one of her kids was Rapholoana who got married and her wife name was Mapholoana. 

Mapholoana created a well and named it after herself.  This well called Mapholoana,  people who live at Pontseng village are still using that we'll to provide themselves with water.  It's water is naturally cold all the year around,  mostly get very cold especially in summer, 

Quthing history

This historic site is one of Lesotho hidden treasure. It is located in Quthing District, about 180km South of Maseru. The cave house was built in 1866 by Rev.David  Ellenberger,  a missionary of the Paris Evangelical Missionary society.

Ellenberger used a natural rock shelter which had been used by Bushmen,  to make his home,  he enlarged the cave and enclosed it with brick.  This became his home with his wife and the kids, most of his children where born in that cave.

The cave house restored in 2003 since then over 8000 visitors have come from around the world. It is now a museum with exhibits installed.

Rev.David is the one who discovered the Dinosaurs footprints in the district of Quthing in 1960. In 2000 million years ago dinosaurs where living in the district of Quthing and they were killed by volcano and the other one's that survived the volcano were killed by the hunger.

Rev.David found the footprints and there were some bones around, those bones belonged to the 4 metres long dinosaur. When time goes by they transformed to rocks

Natural beauty of QwaQwa

Its so natural here, the air is fresh, everything its so natural. QwaQwa was homeland in the central eastern part of South Africa. Its capital city known as Phuthaditjhaba and it also known by many Sesotho speaking people who are located at Phuthaditjhaba. We stopped by the Basotho cultural village, it is here where the lifestyle of the South Sotho people return to their natural habit.

The hurts are built and furnished according to time frame. The colour of the hurts is also dramatic and extremely vibrant. There is nothing like a warm traditional Basotho meal and the entertaining sound of the accordion and drum to complete an unforgettable experience. We wouldn't mind to return to this place again.

Bloem's Night Life.

Bloem's Night Life.

No one realizes how beautiful travelling is until they come home and rest their head on that old pillow of theirs.

Here is the views of a night somewhere in Bloemfontein, we went on a trip to the center city itself, with many attractions to choose from our stop was however in a beautiful mimosa mall. A lot can be said about the place but the views from the top is just magnificent. by just looking one can realize that life is like a book and those who don't travel to explore are only reading on the first page.

Our view is that  the whole concept of travelling is to regulate the imagination of reality, so instead of imagining how things are or may be take a trip and see for yourself. We sure enjoyed our stay and recommend you do the same and visit Blo. Till we communicate again take care and travel with us.
