Lesotho

Africa-Lesotho-Maseru This area is very typical of the wonderful scenery in Lesotho. Had a long drive from Swaziland about 7 hours but was worth it with the wonderful scenery. A very beautiful country and I felt I was back in Africa again in the true sense of the word. Photographs do not do this country justice. 

I purchased these stamps at the GPO in Maseru. I did go to the philatelic section up stairs but the stamps were all older issues and I always prefer to use stamps that have just been issued. Unfortunately Lesotho had no new issues available for the last 3 years. 

Africa-Lesotho-Maseru  This is the Famous Basotho hat shop. It is really the main or only shop in the city selling souvenirs. Lots of choice inside including plenty of postcards. This is in Maseru. 

As you can see here. The same stamps again which is rare for me to use. But no choice or selection at the GPO in Maseru. At least a good cancellation .

Horse riding in Lesotho. Have not done this in ages. Really enjoyed it.
