Merry Christmas to all! [Lake Toba]

by [Eltneg]

Indeed, I'd like to greet everyone a very Merry Christmas! May this holiday bring nothing but the best to each & everyone of you. Of course, there's so many gifts during these times but one gift that ranks among the best is this website! After all, not only do we get to publish our works but also, we get to enjoy other people's works too - & all of it for free! Ultimately, this website is better than TV:)

But anyway, this is a continuation of my long presentation on Indonesia. It follows the previopus article ... (more)

The boat to Samosir island:
As you have already read in the previous article, Samosir island arose in the...

Lake Toba scenery:

Nearing Samosir island:

Samosir's telecommunication tower:
- As remote Lake Toba is, they have this antenna!

The cheap accomodations:
- There's so many of them that you won't run out even if it's a...

View at the island itself:
- Nice blending of blue & green.

Exotic traditional accomodations:
- The lovely plants & flowers tremendously compliments the...

My cousin posing:
- There's just no stopping egocentrics like us from posing!

Still the lovely traditional hotel:
- If you're into traditional houses, customs, attires [& etc.], then...

Your egocentric host posing:

Still the accomodation vicinity:

Still the crater slope:
- Now remember, that's not a mountain. Rather, it's the crater's...

Beuatiful lotus plants:

Closer view of the house-boat:
- There's actually a word for "house-boat" but I forgot.

Another house boat:

"Kick-back time!!!"
- It's so nice to relax since this has been a very long trip...

Lake Toba sceneries:
- Imposing crater slopes!

A small cemetery on the hill:
- Nice green water!

Beautiful wooden houses:

Beautiful rainforest:

More of the village & imposing wall:

Still the fantastic landscape:

The village church:
- Sumatra seems to be more X-tian than Islam!

"Big cracks on the slopes"
- This is the overall view of the previous photo.

Wider view of the village:
- Lovely turquoise-green water.

Still the village:

The slope once again:

More on the slope landscape:
There's so much to see around Samosir island such as: - The tomb...

"Kids having a blast!"
- This pic is similar to an earlier photo & thus, I posted this...

"Laundry time"

Beautiful Lake Toba:
- This is a guidebook pic.

A modern & traditional house:
- I like the traditional house better.

The last of Lake Toba pics:
- You can simply stop here since the last remaining pics are a bit blurry.

Lovely village at the foot of the slope

#4 is Bukit Tinggi Highlands:
- "Bukit" means hill or mountain. Therefore, our next...

Hi Eva, first of all, happy holidays! May the holidays bring nothing but the best for you, your family & anyone close to you. I sincerely mean this.

As for my daily publishing, don't worry, it's half-way thru. - Yes, there's an ending to this trip believe it or not. After that, I'll be gone for a 5-6 months trip [yeay!] but will publish that trip upon my return & thus, another round of long presentations & so on & so forth.

If there's anything derived from my numerous, daily articles, then it's the highlighting of countries least featured since I tend to go to places that doesn't get visited much. That way, atleast people will get a glimpse about the "unknown" area. Also, I think my pics & maps of iteneraries are very helpful for anyone planning to visit the place.
— [Eltneg], December 27, 2001

continue...
I wonder what country you're from 'coz if I get to visit it, then maybe we can meet. That way, you can beat the crap out of me, he, he, he:) Seriously though, it'll be a good way to know each other.

But overall, if my articles have offended you, then please forgive me. However, I really believe in giving exposure to places least featured in tis website 'coz I've been publishing daily now for almost 3 months yet it's very rare to see articles on places like Malaysia & Indonesia which are beautiful & interesting countries!

But if you just can't stand my articles, then simply ignore them though it really will be nice if we do get to meet:)

And now: It is enough!, o.K?, please!

GREAT JOY
Lugtu..It's so great to see that u contributing all your trips photos on this site. Congratulation !!!
— STAN., December 27, 2001

I hope some publishers would discover these pictures and put them in books. Those who have no access to the web will be guided when they make their travel itineraries. Lots of the pictures of these places cannot be found yet in books that guide travellers. Rose S. LV
