Cape Town Events in June 2011

Cape Town is known for its "moody" weather in winter . The windy days are maybe not for sunbathing, but the wildness of the coastline is something you have to experience.

There is plenty do and enjoy in Cape Town in winter , no matter if the sun is shining or it is pouring outside. If it is raining and grey, don’t worry the sun will be out soon again.

Watch how fast the clouds accumulate or disperse over the ocean and take in one of the most stunning sunsets you will ever see like this one on the right below which we experienced in June in Cape Town.

And it is still a great time to enjoy the outdoors. Actually now it’s the time to go hiking and enjoy the nature.

Everything turns green after a day of rain and the flowers are brighter than ever like on the picture I took last June on Signal Head.

Remember that at the end of June there will be winter school holidays in the Western Cape. So plenty of time you can spend with your family and friends.

Now browse my selection of wonderful Cape Town events in June and enjoy the wide variety of activities offered in the Mother City.
