So here it is. Actual proof that it snows in Lesotho. After a month of complaining about the cold, here is a video of us playing in the snow.
This has been a busy month and I have already flown over 45 hours this month. In Lesotho where everything is so close I have already had over 135 landings so far And after every stop it means that I am unloading passengers or cargo, and then putting more passengers on who are returning to Maseru. It makes for a busy days work. Yesterday I took the 4 people on the doctor team to a village called Matekane. I couldn't pick them up in the afternoon because the airplane was being shaken around in what I would call extreme turbulence. I tried again this morning but could not even make it to the airstrip because of low clouds and not wanting to get closer to the ground in the turbulence. Well tonight they are snowed in and we are hoping that we can get the military helicopter in there tomorrow to get them out. They will have much more snow in the mountains than we do in Maseru and it will probably be a week before it melts enough to land at some of these airstrips.
