13 -16 April 2011. Leaving Toba Lake to Brastagi and Homeland Part III ~ Early in the morning, at 7:30a.m we left Tabo cottage and Toba lake to Brastagi by a ferry. We take a look at Parapat town while waiting for our taxi. We plan to stay there for a night at Brastagi. We took Raja Taxi again and stopped by at 3 places that are Simarjarunjung, Si Piso- Piso Waterfall and Rumah Bolon [Bolon House].The journey to Brastagi is almost 3 hours with also a very long quiete winding road. We passed-by small villages, forest and hills. Pretty amazing. Again here some photos from Toba Lake to Brastagi. Hoping you are not feeling sick having to see so much photos :) oh well..

I got carsick :( That is the weakness of me, i can't stand sitting in a car for hours except if i am the one who's driving the car. Embarassing huh? and after this incident i have no mood to take any photo. My mood is turn off :(((

 |
| Brastagi market you can find things from food, plants, animals and pets. See the horse leg?? this is where my battery flat!!! dammit! |
So that is all. My conclusion, Toba Lake is amazing with breath taking scene, if it wasn't because the 5 hours journey from the Medan city i would fly here every weekend :D Will come back again in the future. I had a great time here.
From Medan city to Toba lake - 5 hours
From Toba Lake to Brastagi - 3 hours
From Brastagi to Medan city - 2 hours
THE END.
