Transition Time

Well I've spent the last week travelling around the Western Cape. Visiting with old and new friends in Knysna and Cape Town. I stopped in wine country to sample some of South Africa's excellent wines. Very beautiful area, very delicious wines. I've had too much coffee and really, too much rich food.

I'm here at the LuckyBean guesthouse in Johannesburg. It's a wonderfully beautiful place with a peaceful atmosphere, welcoming hosts and a gentle vibe. I love it here and it's the one place I've been able to get away to to feel refreshed.

Feeling very anti-social these days and I can tell I'm retreating within myself. It's how I cope with change so the idea of leaving Lesotho has got me pulling inside and my mind working on overdrive thinking and spinning ideas around. It's really tiring as I'm sure those of you who are 'thinkers' know. If only my thoughts were more profound.

Anyway, I've seen some beautiful views over the past few days and things are really getting green again here. I expect a week away from Lesotho will make all the difference when it comes to the vegetation there...or I hope it will. It's been very dry and extremely dusty. Right now in Jozi, as some call it, it's freezing and my sweatshirt smells like cigarette smoke from the restaurant I was at last night - yuck! Life sure is difficult ;)

I'll try to post some photos again soon. I should have functioning internet when I'm back in Hlotse.
