Lake Toba..where time stood still

We arrived at Medan Polonia Airport at 8.30am. ( only 55 minutes from Kuala Lumpur ). 


From Polonia Airport we took a cab ( Taxi Andara - Rp50,000/RM15 per cab ) to Raja Taxi Station ( for PARAPAT town ) which was about 10-15 minutes drive from the airport. 


Taxi Andara in the Airport

yaayy i am in Medan finally
 

So, this is Raja Taxi Station for Parapat Town. We paid Rp70,000/RM21.00 per pax. The taxi they used is Toyota Innova which can accomodate 6pax.


Our journey from Medan Town to Parapat took about 41/2 hours..it was a longest journey i ever had in my life..

bumpy ride & not to mention our 'F1' driver is driving like mad & almost 'kissing' some huge lorries & trailers..all i can do was closed my eyes & try to sleep even it was impossible! 


for a second i thought i might have a heart attack! Thank God i didnt because i still manage to SMILE & PEACE here..lol :-p

tengok ini ibu..kasian ya..uda pusing kepalanya..kerna jalan ke Parapat seperti ular dipalu gituuu ;-) pity my cousin Jass..she got motion sickness

Parapat Jetty. Ferry fee is Rp7000/RM2.10 per pax

we took a ferry for about 35 minutes to ROMLAN GUESTHOUSE located in Tuk Tuk, Samosir Island.

Gosh the moment i've seen the sprawling Lake Toba..all those rough & scary journey experience had dissapeared..AWESOME scenary..no words can describe the peacefulness i have here..AMAZING!

I wish i have those expensive DSLR camera
