Lake Toba North Sumatra
Medan is the third largest city in Indonesia, located in North Sumatra. The time it takes to get to the Medan from Bandung is about 2 hours, actually best way to get to Medan is from Jakarta, lot of flying toward Medan is in Jakarta, and also cheaper. But we choose to depart from Bandung. We checked in at the Husen Sastranegara Airport at 6.30 am and take off is about 7.00 am, at 10 am, we arrived at the Kuala Namu international Airport of Medan. From Kuala Namu we continued our journey to Toba Lake parapat via Pematang Siantar, on parapat we found a unique public transport vehicles, namely bentor or in Indonesian motor tricycles. Motorcycle modifications so biased in carrying passengers. Actually in many other parts of Indonesia found a similar vehicle, but the difference is that a motorcycle is a motorcycle used classic European bike like BSA, Triumph etc.
At around 4 pm we arrived at Lake Toba, according to a recommendation from my friend, the hotel with the best view of Lake Toba is Patra Prapat. But because we came a day before the month of fasting, the Hotel Patra Parapat its location on the edge of the cliff Toba Lake very quiet so we decided to stay in a hotel located in a crowded place. We stayed at Niagara Parapat. But before leaving Patra Parapat, I had to take some pictures.
On the way to the Niagara Hotel we had dinner at one of the Minang Restaurants. Minang restaurant is one of the most famous restaurants in Indonesia. It almost no cities in Indonesia that there is no Minang restaurants. Special menu of the restaurant is Rendang Minang, mmmm .. yumie. another typical menu of Minang Restaurants in Toba Lake is a Pora pora fish, a type of small fish that has a savory taste and crunchy. Next we set off back to the hotel to rest.
According to the tour guide, we had to get up at 5 am for breakfast and then get ready to surf Lake Toba at 6 am, so the air is still cool and flexibility to get around to the tourist destinations in the Lake Toba and Samosir Island.
Toba Lake is surrounded by hills. The atmosphere around it is comfortable and cool tube. You can enjoy the beauty of nature with a swim or rent a motor boat while circling around the lake. Lake Toba is a volcanic lake with a length of 100 kilometers and 30 kilometers wide, located in North Sumatra Province, Indonesia. This lake is the largest lake in Indonesia and Southeast Asia. At the lake have been an eruption that occurred about 73000-75000 years ago and an eruption Supervolcano (super volcano) is so powerful and spewing rocks and ash as far as 2,000 km. It causes the sky became dark up to 2 weeks. The eruption of volcano crater eventually formed so large and then filled with water. Magma pressure eventually formed the island of Samosir. Samosir Island is a volcanic island in the middle of Lake Toba in North Sumatra province. Samosir island is called island in the island with an altitude of 1,000 meters above sea level, making this island an important tourist destination in North Sumatra, Bukit Lawang, Berastagi and Nias.
Samosir Island for "Batak" referred to as the origin of "real Batak Tribe". Here dwells Batak clan who is the face completely,1. Batak Toba (Tapanuli): inhabit Toba Samosir, North Tapanuli, Central Tapanuli using Toba Batak language.2.

Samosir Island is a district has tourism potential areas based landscapes, spiritual tours, farm tours, cultural tours and the waters of Lake Toba. Objects are scattered in different areas of the District. Several attractions are located in Samosir regency, among others, is the Tomb of King Sidabutar, Stone Parsidangan, Museum Huta Bolon, Performing Sigale-gale, and many other attractions.
At 1 pm we had finished around Lake Toba, then we went to the field with a different route with our time comes. These surround the banks of Lake Toba Berastagi. We were treated to incredible views all the way along the beautiful Lake Toba, on our trip we spend a time to take a picture with a waterfall backdrop which is the water source of Toba Lake. The journey then continued down the road towards the rural and mountainous Brastagi. After dinner at our trip to Brastagi prior to stopping at the tavern durian, durian is very well known in Indonesia with a strong scent and taste more delicious than durian in other place in Indonesia.
Our journey ends in 21 PM at Medan, we stay at the Santika Hotel Medan to return the next day and then back to my home sweet home. But before we going home don't forget to buy a souvenir, namely bika Ambon and rolls cake, yummy .....
