On Saturday morning we had to wake up early to go on a day trip to Lesotho. Lesotho is its own country that is inside South Africa. It is the third poorest country in the world. Once we got to Lesotho, we all had to get out of the car at border control. We all got another stamp in our passport. We went on a tour through one of the villages there. It was incredible. In the village they have different color flags. When there are flags up, anyone in the community can come to the gathering. The red flag means there is meat, green: vegetables, white: beer, and yellow: pineapple beer. During our tour we found a white flag. We were then invited into their hut for some of their beer. The beer was quite unique. It tasted almost like soggy bread. Let’s just say one sip was enough.
While we were there we also tried a dish of maize and spinach, it was pretty tasty. We also played and danced with some of the children there. We ended up having to go, because we had to get out of their country by 4pm.
