Taman Simalem Resort - Pearl of Lake Toba - Part 1

So our destination for the outdoor pre-wedding photography is " Taman Simalem Resort " I am so double excited.

Its located on the hills of north-western part of Lake Toba , One of the highest and deepest Crater Lakes in the WORLD. Its located 45 minutes away from the resort town of Berastagi and can also be reached in 2.5 hours by road from Medan , the provincial capital of North Sumatera.INDONESIA.

Aand the catalog lied . its not 2.5 hours but its 4 hours by road with crazy driver . and if normal driver like me will reach in 4.5 hours.


 Its 5.00am in the morning , the alarm rang so loud , and i know its time to wake up . we will have a taxi coming at 6.00am and we are going to Yamano for ... rias rias.

That morning , We had only "Cup noodle " for our breakfast. seems to be Fine for the first 1 hours. but not after that. and akhirnya aku keliling persekitaran untuk mencari Wantanme pas wanhan lagi di rias rias. haha
 

Its 6.15 Am , So early but we already here at Yamano . sleepy face but happy.

 This is the second time in my life " Facial " I dunno what the girl applied to my face . it feels cold , and finally the thing went dry and when i try to move i got this weird white dust around my face and kena my eyes.... err.r... WHat the ...tuuuttt...


9.00am . Finally wanhan finished with the make up , and she become other girl liao , different face . my friend said she looks like "peggy" other girl. haha

the sleepy happy face . we get excited with the outdoor photo today . we choose SIMALEM even the girl who take care of our Wedding-Photography packet suddenly convincing us to go KOTA LADANG. well if i choose Kota ladang , maybe i wont go so far to medan.


we want simalem and we got simalem, but tobe more precise its " small rain Simalem" it was the small raining the whole day"

The Ticket to Simalem = Rp 1.850.000 ( because we went there for a wedding photography package , so we need to pay such price.

Hire taxi 12 hours = Rp 300.000 ,( Driver salary = Rp 125.000 (if you are going out of town) , And Petrol = Rp150.000

Extra hour will be charge at Rp 20.000

Oh ya , the taxi , if you go Medan and you Dont want to travel the whole town with Becak , you can call this taxi at this number : they are friendly and ya good loh.. +62 816 3119816 / +62 81396510644


Finally we reach . What is that "Mejuah juah"

We still have 34 Kilometer to reach our destination. some are sleeping , some carving for smoke , and me im still having my cough sweet . i had a bad sore throat . i got a heavy dizzy in my head . but i dont look like sick . because sick is not my style . i gotta enjoy more life rather than thinking about being sick.

Heyy Heyy WOW WOW WOW SOme thing i cant find at my hometown. look at the view . i love the view. we are finally get to see a beautiful scenery of the locals duing some farming , growing crops i think. hehe


 i did sleep for like an hours. i must get to Simalem with a fresh "happily ever after" face. haha

but passing this road is a bad bad idea. full of holes  , big one. i mean this is so bad. Government should do something FAST FAST FAST. like "superman FAST". because we paid them with our Tax money everymonth. and see where all the money gone to ?


Everybody . we are now arriving at TAMAN SIMALEM RESORT . We gotta do what we gotta do.

hufff hufff. i believe i have a flat ass , the bakpao gone .

Stay tuned ya . welcome and don't forget to come back for Part 2.
