Swaziland to Lesotho
May 04, 2015:
Swaziland - Spent two days riding around the perimeter of the country, it's 180 kilometers tall and 120 kilometers wide. The eastern part of the country is planted in sugar cane and the western half is tree farms.
Stopped for a water break and saw this condom dispenser nailed to the tree.

Crossed back into South Africa on the May 05 and then rode some of the Drakensberg mountains stopping for the night near the entrance to Sani Pass into Lesotho.

Looking back from the top: The last mile was fairly steep with many 90 degree switch backs. Was actually a bit challenging a few times with the loose rocks and washouts.
