Bismillah.
Our second day in Medan.
Ok, first thing is that you wake up feeling breezy.
Cold morning here at Toba Lake.
Buka pintu bilik, you can see tasik terbentang luas,
You almost believe it was the sea.
Oh hey, we are at Danau Toba International Cottage.
The room. Siap tingkap lagi.
Pool, Overlooking Lake Toba.
Sambil tunggu feri ke Pulau Tomok. Lepak dulu bergambar,
Medan is known for orang Batak.
Kaum Batak ni, kalau ikut kata nenek moyang.
They are man eater. But then I never dared to ask whether its true.
Anak orang Batak berenang dalam Tasik.
Trend is, orang suka baling duit dalam air.
I don't know why. But yes, money attract kids.
Maybe there are some other reason, for luck. Maybe.
Off the boar. Into Pulau Tomok.
Apa yang uniknya is that, this is lake, tapi ada pulau.
Biasa laut yang ada pulau.
Some fact to digest. Hahaha.
"Horas !"
It means Selamat. More of a greeting.
Then, we are introduced to the history.
The only I can remember is, story about the prettiest girl in town.
She was so pretty that everyone wants her.
That's the legend say.
Habis here, we went watching si Gale-Gale.
Kisahnya, dia ni anak raja dulu tapi mangkat sebab sakit.
Jadi, utk ubat kerinduan, his father request for a doll that dance,
Annnd, Pak Supir cakap. Patung tu boleh bergerak sendiri. Woooo~
At the end, waktu membeli belah.
I bought a fabric, turquoise blue tapi tak tahu lah bila nak jadi baju nya.
Hahaha. We are off the island by noon.
View on the way back, the lake is hugeee !
.................
Lunch time !
First time makan gaya macam ni.
The rule is, kalau taknak, jangan even sentuh lauk tu.
Sebab bila dah sentuh, automatik you must pay for it.
So, kitorang awal-awal lagi buat pemilihan.
Yang takmau, semua letak tepi.
And well opkos la benda yg sedap je tinggal depan mata.
Makan-makan then pegi solat.
Kreatifnya, ruang solat dia letak kat bawah kedai.
Which means, tengok dari mata kasar memang tak nampak.
..................
Next stop is at Air Terjun Sipiso-Piso.
Tengok dari jauh ja mampu. Nak turun sampai bawah memang tidak la.
Very tall. I couldn't recall the history.
But I remember having cup noodle there. Hahaha.
...................
Leaving for Brastagi. Check-in to Green Garden Hotel.
Bunga dekat sini so nice. I bet sebab tanah tinggi.
So cuaca sejuk je.
Shantek kann.
Makan malam hari ni macam biasa. So nothing interesting.
But kangkung dia gila besar. Lol~
