Bloemfontein 20151028

Lunch was at a Chinese Restaurant in Maseru, Lesotho, at a very short distance to the border to South Africa.  We crossed the border and arrived at Bloemfontein in the afternoon.

Bloemfontein is the judicial capital of South Africa, so it has a bunch of government buildings.

Our first stop was National Museum.  The museum contains anthropological, historical, cultural, and natural articles.  We saw artifacts from early humans, rock art, pottery, presentations for different tribes in South Africa, displays of colonial life, a collection of all imaginable stuffed animals and birds, animal skeleton and bones, and geological collections.
