... pillars, Dutch ceramic tiles and stained glass from China. Yousef also gave us a really interesting insight into the Muslim religion and readily answered all our questions.

Two nights were more than enough time in Medan and we headed to Lake Toba early the following morning. The journey, which was in a mini-van with no air-con and packed with eight people, took four hours. It was stiflingly hot, so we had to keep the windows open which let in a ...

Sara' faticoso viaggiare per questo paese cosi esteso!

Per ora sono contentaa Tuk Tuk, dovo posso rilassarmi per qualche giorno...

... with them for a brochure they were putting together. Once we were all standing round they unfolded a big banner! Once the group photo was taken they wanted little group photos with us was pretty bizarre. And to add to all of that they wanted our signatures/autographs. We were basically treated like celebrities for a few mins.

Next few days we hired bicycles and biked round the island. It was bloody hilly. Went to see a few touristy things like some stone chairs that are ...

Na koniec naszego dzisiejszego zwiedzania, krotka wizyta w dawnej nekropoli. Przed wejsciej na ramie nakladaja nam tradycyjny szal, dopiero tak przystrojeni mozemy przekroczyc mury cmentarza. Po wyjsciu standard, kazdy chce nam sprzedac cokolwiek.

Wracamy do naszej noclegowni, po krociutkim refreszu ...

W poludnie dojezdzamy do wodospadu Sipiso piso. Ma on ok. 100m wysokosci, jest nad samym jeziorem Toba. Mozna do niego zejsc i sie wykapac, ale niestety jest chlodnawo i wieje silny wiatr.
Do Parapat dojezdzamy o 14:00, mamy chwile przed odprawa promowa o 14:30. Prom nie jest duzy, ale wjezdza wszystko, od cysterny Petramina po rower z lodami Wall's, u nas znanymi pod marka Algida. Plyniecie promem jest nudne, trwa ponad ...

... hier"-Schoc k die Insel mit Motorbike erkundet. Wunderschoene Landschaft, interessante Architektur und auesserst liebenswerte Menschen sind uns begegnet und man kann den Leuten hier (wie ueberall auf Sumatra) nur wuenschen, dass die Touristen irgendwann zurueckkommen. Morgen machen wir uns dann auf, den Aequator zu ueberqueren; Bukitingi und der Danau Maninjau sind unsere naechsten Destinationen. Bis dahin: Selamat Tingal!

... talla kertaa riksakuskeja, ymparilla. Otettiin riksa johonkin laheiseen paikkaan ylihintaan, niinku myohemmin sitte hoksasin. Paikka oli ihan tolkuttoman rahjanen, mut aateltiin et kun ei se ole kallis, 19 000 rupiaa eli 1.5 euroo, niin kai siella yhen yon nyt nukkuu. Seuraavana aamuna kuitenkin oli tarkotus lahtea Toba-jarvelle. Kirjotettiin nimi paperiin, mut eihan se ollukkaa 19 000 vaan 90 000. Haettiin kamat pois huoneesta ja lahettiin ettimaan jotain ...

The day started at 05:45 am when we packed up and left Bukit Lawang to catch an early bus to Medan and then on to Danau Toba. The bus was a rackety thing that took us three hours to get to Medan, then we had to cross Medan city to get to another bus station to sit for another 5 hours down to the Lake. It was a long day however as tired and ****** off as ...
