Yesterday, I climbed Thaba Bosiu, a important historical site for the Kingdom of Lesotho. It is the site that King Moshoeshoe I (pronounced Mah-shway-shway) defended against multiple battles, and is buried at. It was really steep, but not that high, and I feel like I can't blame how out of breath I got on just the altitude : ) My quads sure hurt today.
Our "tour guide" insisted on shaking my hand over King Moshoeshoe's grave . . .
This is the mountain that the hats the Basotho wear is modeled after (so I hear).
It is pronounced /moo-shway-shway/ or better yet, /moosh-where-sh-where/ but without the "r" sounds of "where"
