Medan Day 3 & 4

Yes, last 2 days of the trip.
Had breakfast buffet at Grand Mutiara Hotel, Brastagi.
love the chilling weather.

Spider in action.

An active volcano.

Finally, a sight of Lake Toba......


Calm and scary at the same time.

Piso-Piso waterfall, it was huge and very far from where we were.


Palace King of Batak Simalungun, nothing much here la, places where the king stayed with lots of his wifey.

The magnificent "Emerald Green" Lake Toba

Ferry around the scenic lake from Parapat to Simosir Island and apparently the Simosir Island surronding by lake, the size is bigger than Singapore.

remind me of Pirahna movie.

Me love the cloud

reached Ambaritha kampung.

statue with long face. I wonder why?!

Stone chairs and tables used by Batak Kings for tribal meetings. We were not allowed to sit on them. Maybe it was cursed or something.

Place where they punish guilty people and of course death sentence place.

Hop on ferry and travel to Tomok Kampung. Along the stretch, alot of small small hotels operate by the locals. Indonesia Government is less likely to open for foreign investors on their tourism sector. If its done by big hotel group, the place will gain its shine, wasted such a nice place lor.



Leaving Simosir Island.

We sat on the upper deck for better view and windy weather.


beautiful sunset



This is Day 4, last day. We reached Marriot in Medan aroud 12 am the day before. From Lake Toba to Medan is quite a distance away.

Lunch before we head to airport.

cute cute Teddy House in local Plaza.

Since it was a full board trip, meals all pao-ed. We managed to grab bakso at the local plaza before we leave. Uncle Chiang was dying to try this.


us.


Mr & Mrs Chiang

And that wraps up the 4D 3N Medan trip. its advisable to go for full board trip or hire local tour guide, it's not that safe to travel their on your own and you will missed out a lot of things.
