Cuti-Cuti Medan : Perapat - Samosir Island

 Day 2 


 After lunch at Ayam Pop, we headed to Perapat through Permatang Siantar. Jalan macet le pulak coz ada perjumpaan apa ntah. Pak Leni ni bawak kereta ganas gak. Dia cilok lane kiri lalu kat lopak2. Ada at 1 time sampai melambung kitaorang. Nasib naik SUV. Kalau naik kereta maunya tersangkut kereta tu.

Ucapan selamat yang menarik sepanjang perjalanan ke Perapat. Made from bunga plastik kecik2.

 Pemandangan biasa je. Tak de la menarik. Dari Medan nak ke Perapat tu dalam 180km je. Tapi it took us over 6 hours to get there. Dah le hujan. The car was crawling at 20km/h. Kitaorang singgah kat Patent shop yang jual jajan named Teng Teng, Ting Ting etc.  Pelik nama dia. Siap bagi samples lagi. Tapi bila tengok owner tu non-muslim & product pulak tak de logo halal, malas nak merasa. We all lepak2 je sementara tunggu Pak Leni stretching & rehat.

Ni le Patent shop tu. Pandai owner dia buat business. Almost all tour groups would stop here on the way to Perapat.

 Masa lalu kat Permatang Siantar, Pak Leni pointed out to one bakery. Full house! Nama kedai tu Toko Ganda. Teringin nak merasa tapi masa tak mengizinkan. Jenuh queue looking at the number of customers. Nak tau le apa yang sedap sangat tu.. Tapi Pak Leni kata memang sedap.Freshly baked.

 By the time sampai Perapat, Sara dah a few times muntah & demam. We stopped by at a pharmacy. Cari syr pcm for her. Then, dinner kat hotel je. Ada sup ayam panas2 lagi. Elok le dengan cuaca yang sejuk.Ada la dalam 5-6 jenis lauk. We were booked at Siantar Hotel. Hotel ni biasa je. Betul2 tepi Lake toba. Buka tingkap je ada tasik kat bawah. Kat sini memang sejuk sangat. Tak payah pasang air-cond. Lepas dinner masuk bilik je terus zzz.. It was a loong day..

Day 3 

 We had breakfast at 7;30am. Ala-carte. Malam tu dah siap order. Hubby order nasi goreng. Sedap gak. I tak  order nasi coz takut pedas, I ambik roti with egg je. Kenyang gak.

 Lepas check-out we all ke jetty. Ambik ferry  ke Samosir Island which took 45 min. First we stopped by at Ambarita village. Perkampungan orang Batak.  Our tour guide siap buat demo penggal kepala . Kat sini latempat the famous King Siallagan. Lepas demo, we had 1/2 hour to shop. Macam kartun je..We bought a few stuff.

Horas, Samosir - An island in an island

 Then, naik ferry lagi ke Tomok village.Kat sini ada kubur King Sidabutar. Shopping kat sini lagi better dari Ambarita village. Peniaga tak le main tarik2 tangan. Harga kena tawar gila2. Tapi dalam dok tawar tu I terkena gak. Sweater yang I beli lagi mahal dari yang kat Sipiso piso waterfall. :-( As a consolation, nasib tak de colour yang I beli tu kat Sipiso piso..


Tomok Village

 Dah penat shopping kat Tomok village, we had lunch kat Restoran Istana Minang, Perapat. Ada serve ikan kecik2 yang banyak kat Lake Toba tu. Sedap gak.
