Samosir Island

This is a continue post from the previous.

At Samosir Island, we stayed overnight at a Victorian look alike humble cottage - Carolino Cottage which cost 150,000 rupiah (RM55). With this rate, you cannot expect the facilities to be on par with a 5 star hotel. However, it offers a spectacular view of Lake Toba and is open up to Lake Toba where you can swim or do some fishing. In addition, it owns private garden.

crystal clear lake water

Dad enjoyed fishing a lot
"This is amazing." I told myself.
I feel good, i feel happy, i feel on top of the world. My family likes the place. It gives us a feeling of serenity. It's so pure, so untouched. One wouldnt know this scenic place is located in Medan, Indonesia; one might think it's New Zealand.

so carefree.

when you lay on the grass and look into the sky and the view.. and suddenly it feels as if the globe stop spinning

I was so happy to taste Lake Toba's grilled fish that night and man it is a huge portion. Grilled fish was served with French salad sauce prepared by the guest chef. Also, we were served free wines as if we are special guests (VIP).

We met this little Indon-English kid who is so uber cute and friendly.
