The Gabriel and the Garonne

We shared a meal with friends on the occasion of a birthday.This place is cozy, cozy and exudes comfort. The menu is succinct a fish and a meat few dessert choices either which suggests fresh cuisine. Main course menu , dessert: 49 Euros . The waiter points out that if you only take one dish it will cost you 30 Euros. It is clear that the staff is asked to help the customer order the whole menu. Bar biscuit accompanied by shells and small vegetables in very good brunoise , pea can , the accompanying sauces were excellent as well as desserts , coffee served with delicious sweets . Nothing wrong perfect setting with views of the Garonne a feast for the eyes.

Mesmerizing Lake Toba

It was a group of 25 friends. We landed in Medan on a tuesday morning. We visited the oldest church , then checked into our hotel. In d evening we went to the oldest hindhu temple in Medan. The next day, we left the city to go to Lake Toba. The view of the lake as we scaled the hills was so breathtaking. Then we started to descend to come alongside the lake. It is the largest, natural fresh water lake in Sumatra. After lunch we took a boat to an island in the middle of the lake. There we were given an insight into the tribal lifestyle of its inhabitants. Another 45 minute back over the lake and a bus ride up to our hotel was indeed remarkable and unforgettable.

Magical highlands

Views of danau toba and sipiso waterfall were amazing. And the hilly countryside driving journey with glimpses of the highlands living environment and culture, vegetation, farms, animals, people, abodes, a thousand private graveyards, a million church buildings, cool weather with light drizzle together with the explanations by Bambang (guide) and Ravee (driver) made the experience magical.

Good in-depth information about volcanoes and local tribes!

Eco is a good guide but not much into exercise. When I opted to walk down to the pool at the bottom of Sipiso Piso Waterfall, he stayed in the parking area. His explanations of the geography, history and eruptions creating Lake Toba were very interesting, and his knowledge of anthopology and history of the peoples on Sumatra is impressive. Thank you for sharing all this information, Eco!
