When theres a touch of mist in the air, and the horizon is obscured, the water seems to blend perfectly with the sky from the hammock of your home on a Singapore sized island in the middle of Lake Toba. A 1707-sq-km, 450m-deep lake set in the collapsed caldera of an extinct volcano surrounded by mountains ribboned with water falls and terrace with rice fields.
To me...it sounds like heaven on earth.
Today i met another fella...he suggested a new route for me and I'm pretty exited about it. He's quite the traveler himself and made quite an impression on me. Did i mention he's in his 60's? Yea, nice guy.
Today was really slow and nice. I walked for an hour down the board walk and did mass amounts of research cause i found a copy of Lonely Planet to borrow. That being said...I'm making a HUGE change in my plans. When i started traveling i knew i had a travel bone inside but hidden and comfortable. Now i believe that bone was on my plate at dinner as it is no where near comfort any more! I'm slightly just moving on auto pilot cause i don't have a guide book to reference and its a weird hazy feeling. But very chill the same time so im cool with it.
For dinner i went all out and found a small indian restaurant that served rhoti. Its basically like a crepe with egg and onion in it served with this delicious stew like sauce. Yumm!! Then i finished it off with indian style mei goring with strange chicken parts. It was alright. On my way back i got a jar of PB and a box of crackers. Hello breakfast!
A guerrilla attack occurred this morning It was a sleeping me versus hungry mosquitos. They won...for sure they won.
Another slow day on the books for me. Going to check out some sightseeing things and tour around. Plus buy my tickets and get out of here back to Indo!!!
HI Taryn, aren't you suppose to smell like bug spray???My God Taryn, get it on thick.. They love you you are so sweet. I like your new plans, I like you in Indo because I know where that is ... Talk to you soon Love MOMxoxo
ReplyDeleteOh Taryn, those mosquito bites they look very ouchy and itchy!! But what a nice brown leg they landed on.
ReplyDeleteGlad that you are going back to Indonesia , I think that you know your way around there better.
Your food looks quite good, If I didn't know better I would think one was Spaghetti and Meatballs.
Have fun and take great care. How is your leg? Love you Lots Gram and Gramps and Nikua
