May we never let things we can't have or don't have or shouldn't have, spoil our enjoyment of the things we do have and can have. For one of the greatest lessons in life is learning to be HAPPY without the things we can't or shouldn't have...

Sweet Escape 2011 Part 3 : Samosir Island - Brastagi Day 2

Salam...sweet escape 2011 continues - Day 2. Malam nye tdo agak nyenyak..penat travel punye psl. Pak Andrian (hope I spell it right..heheh) cakap breakfast at Toledo Inn will be at 7.30 am local time. Masa ni kitaorng blm dpt adapt lg dgn waktu Indonesia yang lmbat sejam dari Malaysia..masih blur2 bab nk set alarm ni and I didn't even realize that my Iphone was set to automatically change time accordingly to the country I'm visiting..jam tangan plak dh bkk ms semayang semlm nye lps tu campak dlm beg, mls nk selongkar, so mmg x sdr la. I set the alarm  sejam awl la konon nye dr waktu Malaysia. Alih2 x payah pakai alarm pn, ada alarm bergerak ready utk kejutkan semua org..hehe. My FIL.. sorry la abah. Abah kejut awal sgt..hehe.

Suhu sgt best...ala2 Cameron Hland gitu..dingin je. Bekpes xde buffet cam biasa kat hotel2. Malam td Pak Andrian dh tlg amek order kitaorg: 10 nasi goreng + 2 mee goreng...sedappp!! Lepas bekpes, camwhoring jap lps tu check-out terus. Next destination : Ambrita, perkampungan orang Batak. Nak ke ctu, mode of transport seperti biasa, naik bot lagi. So kena pakai proper attire sbb agk adventorous naik bot trn bot. Silap hb tergolek jatuh lam Danau Toba..takut jumpa kepala org sbb menurut Pak Andrian dulu2 bila org yg mengamalkan ilmu hitam dihukum pancung, kepala dibuang ke Danau Toba dan badan ditanam sbb x nk disebabkan amalan ilmu hitam mereka, kepala dan badan bisa bercantum semula..huhu. Agak mengerikan di situ. 

Selepas Ambrita, next stop is Tomok. Sama mcm Ambrita, kat cni ada makam Raja Orang Batak dulu kala. Persamaan antara Ambrita dgn Tomok is...dua2 ada byk gerai souvenir cuma Tomok mcm lebih maju sket. Ambrita tu mmg kampung. Lagi satu persamaan adalah orang2 nye yg follow tourist sampai ke bot and paksa2 kitaorng beli barang selagi bot x bergerak. Yang menarik perhatian kat Tomok tu bermacam jenis beg yg dijual. Dari tas tgn yg kecik sampai le yg beso2, mcm2 ada. Cuma kena pandai bargain and dkt Tomok penjual dkt gerai2 tu takdela memaksa sgt mcm dkt Ambrita.

Selepas Tomok, we were heading back to Parapat for lunch dekat Rest. Istana Minang. Part naik bot trn bot dh tamat di situ. After lunch and praying, off to Brastagi and on the way, stopped by at one of the tallest waterfall, Si Piso Piso. View sepanjang perjalanan sgt2 cantik with Lake Toba underneath the small road without guardrail pon taU (only small part je ada)!! Seram nyeee ( gaya ala2 Adi Putra dlm KL Gangster..haha!!). It took about an 2 hours utk sampai Brastagi dari Parapat, plus 2 or 3 stops for toilet and membetulkan urat yg hmpr kejang tu . FYI, Brastagi tu adalah tanah tinggi macam Cam. Hland kat Malaysia. Suhu pn xdela sejuk sgt. Pekan dia pn kecik je. Kat sini aktiviti : Menunggang kuda, shopping souvenir ( lagii !!...) and makan jagung bakar/rebus. Jalan2  dkt ctu kena xtra careful...selain drpd pickpocket, hasil buangan kuda byk bersepah tp ada org ditugaskan utk mengutip hasil buangan tersebut all the time.


After about an hour kat ctu, sedangkan ms yg Pak Andrian bg cuma 30-40 mins je, kitaorg gerak ke Hotel Sinabung Hill. Hotel ni is the best ever sepanjang trip nihh..4stars kot. SOooooo selesa, siap ada swimming pool lagi tp who would brave the cold mandi kolam dkt tpt dingin camtu. Other alternative : mandi bath tub jela..ada water heater..hehe. Makan pon OK tp this time byk lauk vege...mcm vegetarian plak dinner mlm tu. Tido dgn selesanya malam tu..puas hati sgt dapat stay kat hotel Sinabung merehatkan badan yg kepenatan yg amat.
