We parked up here: Neo and an official from the Lesotho Highlands Development Authority (LHDA - who had the keys) went in one bakkie and we followed in Juanita. This is level Hermann and we went in the door at the end of the wall. Levels go down to O and presumably up to A; each has its own arched tunnel and is linked to the levels above and below by a steel spiral staircase.

Cold, windy and overcast. The rondavel is very gloomy so we slept 'til 7. Walked towards the natural swimming pool, but it's frustrating not to be able to scramble up mountains any more 😕

Today was the day for the vulture restaurant.
But it doesn't seem to exist 😣
Not a single vulture and no new carcass.
However the wild flowers were lovely and the scenery stunning.
