Lake Toba trip EP--The Taman Simalem Resort
The Lake View Sunset & Sunrise, The Waterfall Villa, The Organic Farm
After a No Flight Trip from Singapore to Lake Toba, I started my 4-day holiday at Lake Toba.
I've booked 2 nights at Tongging Point Hotel with Lake view up on the mountain which I can enjoy the spectacular view of Lake Toba from the above. The Sunset is one of my highlights of this trip. Although my balcony is facing southeast, I can't see the sunset at back of my hotel on the other side of mountain, but the cloud at southeast reflect the sunset and projected a stunning color. Especially for about 4-5 minutes, the color of the cloud is so beautiful and so surreal and make me felt that I was in the paining of "Vanilla Sky".
For the efforts of trying to capture the sunrise, seems luck is not on my side. The 1st morning was totally cloudy. The 2nd day was not bad but still not perfect.
I explored a little bit at resort. It was so big and can't finish all of them. It's pity that I didn't make it to go the the "One tree Peak" and "Twin Waterfall" because I didn't bring the hiking gear. I'll have to put them on my wish list for the next time.
I had chance to check the other hotel at the resort: "Waterfall Villa". It is located at forest on the bank of Sidompak River. It is absolutely beautiful. But it's a pity that i didn't book this hotel this time. If i can come back next time. I'll like to book 1 night at Tongging point hotel and 1 night at Waterfall Villar.
The Organic Farm is interesting too. I had chance to taste the tea which make from this farm. It is very good although I know very little about Tea and Tea culture.
