Well, also did the Whale and had a whale of a time. 
Went there from East London on the direct route - 4 Speedtraps and a Gazillion stop-go's later we could wash the road dust from our throats - we being me (on a 1982 R100RT) and my mate the "bedonnerde" Irishman (on a Honda Africa Twin).
Spent Friday evening and Saturday doing the normal Rally things - drink beer, look at bikes and "praat k@k".
Some okes seem to have had a "Whale of a time"... 9am Saturday:
The mass ride seems to have been bigger than last year, with the whole rally being bigger:
Sunday morning we rode out towards George, took some of the roads leading up to the "seven passes road" and even rode some Gravel with the old RT! :eek7:
After that over the Outeniqua, Oudtshoornto De Rust, where we spent almost 2 hours looking at a 1955(?) BMW R26 that being beautifully restored. Then on to Willomore and Steytlerville via that single lane cement road (only one in SA)
.... Have you noticed that I don't take many photos... :-[
Steytlerville was quite nice, with Weavers B&B excellent - as mentioned elsewhere by Edgy - especially the steakes. Excellent company too, with Edgy and four other guys rocking up, leading to a lekker kuier! ;D
Some Steytlerville images:
The Church:
DR AG Vissers huis - was this the same one as the Afrikaans writer?
Just outside Steytlerville in Noorspoort, a flag for every ruler the Cape has had, from the Dutch East India Company to the present:
From there through Kirkwood, Grahamstown and back to East London - 1422km for the weekend... very little gravel :-[ R980 for fuel (eina!) while the Africa Twin used R190 less!!
But, really enjoyed the old lady: ^-^
