レソトの首都マセル、街歩きもそこそこに、すぐさま南へと下り小さな村マレアレアへ。さすが空の中の王国、空が近くて、道中すごく気持ちがいい。相変わらず爆音なレソトミュージックが流れるミニバスも、たとえ7km手前でいきなりバス降ろされたって、割と楽しめる。目指すマレアレアはレソトでは有名な観光地で、ポニーに乗ってを歩き回れるらしく、車から見えるこの景色の綺麗さに、とりあえず乗馬へのテンションが上がる。
After a short walk in the capital city of Lesotho, Maseru, we headed south to a small town, Malealea. Being closer to the sky makes a road trip even more pleasant. Even though the music was loud as usual in the minivan and they kicked us out somewhere still 7km far from the town, we were alright. Malealea is one of the well known tourist spots of Lesotho that they have pony ride tour around the town. I imagine how wonderful it would be to ride a pony with the beautiful view in front of us. Exciting.
