Pancakes in Graskop

We spent most of the day driving towards Mpumalanga, the Drakkensburg Mountain area near Kruger Park.  We are staying in the little mountain town-- a Boer pioneer town--called Graskop.  It's built like an American old west town, with wide dusty streets, and low-slung buildings which now house little gift shops and small stores and restaurants.  Locals were selling locally grown fresh-roasted macadamia nuts on the street, and a few hawkers were selling crafts, especially bright colored carved birds on long strings.  We stopped in Graskop for a late lunch at the famous Harrie's Pancake House.  Dutch pancakes are an old traditional Boer treat, and the pancake house had plenty of sweet and savory deliciousness for us all.
