Change of Plans: Lesotho

If you haven't heard, Lesotho decided to have a coup less than a week before we got there. Word around South Africa is that the military has taken control and is patrolling the streets. Contrary to the news reports, it does seem to be a full-fledge coup and South Africa is not as neutral as they say (the Lesotho prime minister is being harbored here). Don't know what the ruling party expected when, in June, they suspended democracy. 

Anyways, for this reason, we've decided to reroute our trip a little. Lesotho will have to be saved for my next visit to Southern Africa. Now, we're planning on going to Swaziland.
