After waiting several days for the right weather conditions the Cookes ventured up Table Mountain, or as Katie called it Table Top Mountain, which seemed to stick with the rest of the Cooke's who spent the rest of the holiday calling it Table Top mountain, still we all knew what they meant.

On the top of Table Mountain you will find these little critters, not sure what they are called but will find out for you. They are believe it or not, genetically the closest relative of the elephant. Can you spot the likeness?

The Twelve Apostles viewed from the coast road outside Camps Bay. This cliff formation is the seaward side of Table Mountain.

After a day on or around Table Mountain the Cooke's search for Sandy Bay, they did not quiet find it, which is a shame as its perhaps the best beach in the area. Katie sits under the Little Lions Head which overlooks Sandy Bay. So close yet so far away.

Oisin receives emergency medical treatment from nurse Carol on his return home.

And finally, the Cooke's entry into the arty photo of the year competition, the moon peeping over rocks close to Sandy Bay
