Toba Lake, North Sumatra

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.
