Cape Town is well known for its harsh winter season and for those who love travelling, winter is rather a reserved choice to visit Cape Town. The snow is normally seen late in September and this signifies the end of the winter season. However, 2014 seems to have its own ways, just like the soccer world cup which is full of surprises. The picture above shows snow at the top of one of the mountains in Stellenbosch, south Africa.
As one leaves the Du Toit train station torwards the Stellenbosch University, the snow was clearly visible and pedestrians had tough times with the cold.
Everyone was taken by surprise because this is a rare occurrence. However, for some it was a blessing in disguise because they may not have seen the snow on this mountain especially in June.
This scenario comes as a warning to travelers. When you are in Cape Town, you have to watch the weather forecast on daily basis because it can change unexpectedly. For those with smart phones it is even more advisable to check the hourly changes.
I remember that the weather once caught me by surprise one day and from there on I knew why people keep jackets in their offices even when it is hot. It comes quickly like scores in Spain's first 2014 world cup game.
Cheers. see you here.
