Toba Lake and Brastagi, Medan Indonesia - Part III.

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..

tiring morning face. muka tak cukup dan baru bangun tido.. sadiss.

Simarjarunjung (a pit stop for hot coffeee + tea with warm banana fritters) which is have cooling atmosphere.This is where i did a nasty thing which is i threw out (puke) almost half pail of bucket at their toilet. bad me! okay.. 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 :(((

Then we also stopped at Rumah Bolon (Bolon House) and Si Piso-Piso waterfall.

Arrived to Brastagi. My camera's battery flat!!! *sigh* There no suitable pin to charge my battery, so Brastagi is only in my memories. Though i only get few shot at the Brastagi market and surrounding the motel.



Kabanjahe Mosque




i think this is a Kabanjahe Government office.




Surrounding our Hotel. The Corona Hotel. Really cheap on budget.

Pumpkins at Brastagi Market. geram!!!!




Flower alley at Brastagi market



i bought this seed and gave it to my mom and guess what? it's well growing at my mom's garden!!!

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.
