Toba Lake and Brastagi, Medan Indonesia - Part II [ii]

13 -16 April 2011. Ambarita Village and Cultural village near Simanindo Part II [ii] ~ after we left Tumuk village we U-turn back to Tabo cottage to send our shopping items to our room (hehe), then we headed to Ambarita village to see the Stone chair and to catch a Batak cultural dance near Simanindo. It took 30 minutes for us to reach to Ambarita because we often stopped by the road to take some photos :D [you can see them here]. Ambarita village is a bit deserted not like Tumuk village. it's more calm and i like it here. The only thing that bothers me is that the sun is scorching hot!
(sorry.. this time banyak gambar interframe hahaha, tak suka jangan tengok. tak susah pun kan?? :D).



Arrived to Ambarita Village





really calm . . .

my travel friend and i . . . again.



this is the stone chair, it's like a knight of a round table :D



sitting on the stone chair. jgn menyampah.. yang ni mmg interframe habiss heheheh





So, after that we move on to see The batak cultural dance at Cultural Village near Simanindo [actually i forgot whether this cultural village is in Simanindo area or near to Simanindo area]. Again we spend time stopping along the road too often to take some photos (hehe). Jakun Sungguh!!! But i guess there's no harm doing that because it's not every day we get to be here, right? it took us 40 minutes to reached the destination from Ambarita village.

We arrived at the cultural village and guess what? The dance finished hours ago :O oh well ... we missed the show probably because for all that photos snapping time spending hahaha. So as usual sharing some photos.



We arrived here and it's already 4:30 pm.





the dancing area




Scary looking tree nearby







































Because we didn't get to see the dance, we sat at nearby lake watching after Toba people doing their routines activities. Then suddenly the cloud is turning grey and cloudy. So we start our motorbike engine and drove back to the cottage. Surprisingly it only took like 40 minutes to get back because we didn't stop anywhere except by the souvenir shop with postal service to send out postcard to myself and my polish friend at Bielawa. Then we took our lunch (which is a bit late for lunch, that's not good. don't skip lunch kids!) at nearby restaurant (rumah makan) minang style. Below are photos taken on the way back to the cottage.

saw this wild boar sneaking for food





water melon





at this point we raced ourselves so as the bike infront of us because it's going to rain





grey + cloudy skies







We got back nearly dusk to the Cottage, so we climbed the Sapo Tabo hut at Tabo Cottage and enjoy the view of sun setting down. It was really calm there, to see fisherman, boat passing by, people swimming and do their activity and of course the lovely sun setting down.

it's getting darker...
