Stillwater Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Johannesburg is well known to many of us, and some have even been there. We fly south today, across a village named Bethlehem, ... ... and reach the border of Lesotho at Leribe. Hlotse, one of the bigger settlements of the country. The roads wind up to Lejone. Lesotho is the country where the lowest point of its area is the highest low point of all countries in the world. Tlokoeng. Another place unknown to me before this scenery was released. And now descending into Mokhotlong. A place with some touristic interest. And with the obvious tree placed nicely in front of the runway. This could be a Kokoda-like location with its mountaneous surrounding... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hauer Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Nice and interesting series... well done, Gerold! Lesotho = The Mountain Kingdom. Actually never been there but I remember enjoying a sumptuous " Farmer's Breakfast " at Bethlehem en-route by car to Durban. Herman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian St Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Great pictures "Lesotho is the country where the lowest point of its area is the highest low point of all countries in the world." - that's interesting, higher than the lowest point in Nepal?

Wonderful images and commentary from Africa. Thanks Martyn. These days it becomes more and more hard to imagine going to remote places - when one can´t even travel to non-remote places! Let´s stick to virtual travels and see wot cums. 7 hours ago, Hauer said: Nice and interesting series... well done, Gerold! Lesotho = The Mountain Kingdom.

Would be an explanation. I am sure that Farmer did not only have potatoes and milk for breakfast... 3 hours ago, Ian St said: Great pictures "Lesotho is the country where the lowest point of its area is the highest low point of all countries in the world." - that's interesting, higher than the lowest point in Nepal? Thanks Ian. To my surprise this is what wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesotho says: "It is the only independent state in the world that lies entirely above 1,000 metres (3,281 ft) in elevation. Its lowest point of 1,400 metres (4,593 ft) is thus the highest lowest point of any country in the world. Over 80 percent of the country lies above 1,800 metres (5,906 ft). " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_elevation_extremes_by_country I suspect that Bhutan and Nepal do have some lowland areas near the southern rivers. But we´ll see once OLC Asia is ready! 1 hour ago, lifejogger said: Enjoying your tour Gerold, great shots.

I guess it is for the Aerosoft Twin Otter? Yes this is the Aerosoft one. It is 12.7 MB, maybe the link below does not work due to the size. But I am sure with "nature air" and "ti-bbq" you´ll find it. DHC6_300_WHEEL_NATURE_AIR_TI-BBQ.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A kingdom where not many of us travel to - especially not nowadays. Enjoy flying there in v5...! 1 hour ago, jean marc said: I great trip Gerold ... and will be great nextly with animals ...
