:Medan-Lake Toba Day 3:

Day 3. Leaving Samosir Island to Berastagi.

Good bye Samosir Villa Resort.

Our tour guide brought us to one of the look out point in Samosir Island before leaving. It is really nice how the yum cha place in Samosir Island/ Berastagi having the lake view and cold breeze. Very comforting.

After capturing picture, it's time to leave Samosir Island.

We were stop by the road side to have pictures of Bukit Unta. Nice nice view :)

Then we continue our journey to Simarjarunjung for the famous herbs tea and fried banana. Sorry to say, but I think the herbs tea is not nice and Malaysian fried banana is nicer.

We had special fried rice for our lunch.

And capture nice view from here. Very nice view! Mini Switzerland?

We then continue our journey and stop by Sipiso-piso for the waterfall.

It's raining, so we had our tea time in one of the shop here. I forgotten the name of this but it taste not bad. Malaysian call this Lontong.

Sipiso-piso waterfall.

We then move on to Rumah Bolon. Nothing really special here.

And finally after almost 8 hours car ride (include stop by the above places), we reach Berastagi. Tiring journey indeed. The weather at Berastagi is same like Malaysian Cameron Highland. A bit cold. We went to fruit market to do some shopping.

And had the jagung bakar! This grill corn tasted superb!

Us :)

And finally check in to Horiston Berastagi for a rest. This hotel cost us IDR430k/night/room.

Very fast, it's already Day 3.. left one more day before back to reality.

The trip was so far so good but the car ride is really tiring. One of us even vomited because the journey not only far but also curving bumpy road. Please remember to bring some asam or oil.
