TOBA LAKE

Alhamdulillah.... all that I could say to myself refer to Allah SWT giving me an opportunity going to Toba Lake.

Toba Lake is absolutely very beautiful and its beauty will always is my mind and can never be forget.
Once I was here, then I want to go visiting this lake again and again, stay in Samosir island, which also has the amazing view and landscape.

Friends in Medan are very nice and cooperative. They took me to Samosir island into 2 different ways. From Medan, we went through Pematang Siantar, and we took ferry to cross the lake going to Samosir. Then when we go back to Medan, we went through Brastagi.

Both ways have amazing view of its landscape.

Here I give you all the pictures I had.

On the way to Pangururan village (our project),we saw many traditional homes for the villagers, very unique and had very different style with those in Java. I won't pass it on, so I kept my camera on and captured many pictures.

Old King Tomb
In the middle of Samosir island, there were few old tomb for the King and his descendant. We had to wear a kind of scarf while we looked around inside the tomb.




Si Gale Gale

















If the dead spirit came into Si Gale Gale, then it could move and dance like a mad human. Scary for sure....







The Village

Still, Toba Lake and its surrounding will be my favorite destination in my own country. Its beauty, its culture, its view........ I miss it a lot.....
I will come visiting Toba Lake again soon.....
