I used to spend hours of an evening in Lesotho just staring at the night skies, there was virtually no light pollution, even in London (Pitseng) the trading post town where I was staying. One weekend, all of us Welsh Government ILO's went to stay in a 'luxury' nature park deep in the maluti mountains (we had booked the economy 'self catering' lodge away from the main complex and there' at night it was total pitch darkness and we just spent all evening sat outside on the veranda, a few bottles of Maluti beer just staring at the Southern skies
