Hidden Thought
Medan, Day 2 - 5
Saturday, June 29, 2013
Hah! After writing the Day 1 on Medan, I basically stop writing because...
1. No internet available in the hotel at Lake Toba and Brasmagi.
2. It's really holiday, eat, sleep, enjoying the view
Day 2
-Lake Toba-
On second day, we had good breakfast buffet in the hotel. The hotel has good selection of dessert!
I love everything except for the fart that people could smoke in the aircon room in Indonesia is ridiculous!
We had this long drive road to Lake toba, about 4 hour drive starting at 11am. We passed by really small road, in order to take the short cut. It is offtrack road with no proper cement. The ride is rather bumpy and very fast and furious!! Luckily the driver is experienced. Road is really small that only can be passed by one car at one direction at a time.
We passed by nice farming area, see some cows, goats, and beautiful green rice leaves or padi around.
Also they had so many Palm oil plantation around. All those plantation are planted in such systematic row. So perfectly line up! I love looking at it...
When we reach there, weather is rather gloomy. But we had a good time sitting at the hotel which is just at the lake toba, taking picture, and do girls talk.
This picture is the photographer is amazing! My mom took it! How cool she can snap us at the right time!
Excited as we had just arrive at the Lake Toba hotel! So pretty place to be. We all feel like we are in NZ.
Day 3
- Samosir Island -
We are going to the island within the island of the lake toba, Samosir Island.
Lake Toba is so huge, that it could have island in the lake itself. And the island is quite big too. Its about 30 min by boat. Actually nothing much to see in the island, but u have to pass by this long tunnel of shopping shops. Hahaha.. of course I like.. why keep seduce me with all the pretty dress...
She is like a model of this boat! Very colourful boat with music ala Batak
Such a good weather! clear blue sky and look at Ira hair, is so windy. hmmm... feel the fresh airrrr
Like a painting that you never see enough
Day 4
- Brastagi Tempat Semalam -
We arrived at Brastagi late at night, after long road fantastic scenery. It is such a breathtaking road trip along the lake Toba, I have numerous pictures that I cannot choose which to delete. Passing by so many colourful, unique trees, from palm tree, to pineapple, to Kayu Jati, to Kolang Kaling tree, to mosquitoe repellent tree/pohon kapas. I enjoy looking at the tall trees that block the sunray in the afternoon. I enjoy the wind wave my hair and touch my cheeks..
The hotel is called Grand mutiara hotel. Although it is quite old, but it has a super cozy room with big bed and super huge bath room. Loving it. And the balcony has such a beautiful maintained garden.
We left the hotel and go to Tempat Semalam. Its a private property that open to public for viewing which cost each car to enter the place to pay for the maintainace. It is one of the hotel place where your phone signal cannot be reach. You can see the great scenary of Lake Toba from here. We are lucky as it is not much tourist of the day, we able to snap many picture around. Pretty pretty mountain, lovely valley and blue sky and sea.
Day 5
- Medan -
Our last day we didnt go anywhere much, Just hang out at the mall before leaving. We visited Ira's house that is big at the city where the gate is fully cover till the roof.
We had such a good trip with good tour guide around.
Definitely, unforgetable moment!
