INDONESIA - LAKE TOBA

Danau Toba - Toba Lake

Batak house ...


Liron and her students ... they came to us to practise their English from a little village close by ...



Liron going to the lake to wash her clothes ...




Pretending she was washing something for the picture ...






Xavi,s top activity ...





One carrying the bucket on the head, the other having the socks as gloves for them to get dry ... who won the first prize?








Typical Toba,s portrait







More Batak houses ...









- From which planet these two came?










One lost pineapple .... we were tempted ... but there was only one ...











After three hours climbing in a small and weedy path we arrived to this amazing leafs avenue ...












At the top of the platoo in Samosir it is amazingly flat, and you can apreciate there their peaceful life ... mostly growing coffee beans ...













So ... we are where??














"These two ET,s are very funny ... "















All together ....
















Peaceful place ... more Batak houses ...

















Liron and the church at the end ...


















Making new friends ...



















Wow !! Where can we pinch the tent??




















Coffee beans, the main product in the platoo ...





















Liron helping to separate the skin from the beans ...






















A manual machine for peeling the skin ...























Direct to the market ....


















































Going back from the school ...


























After pinching the tent we were invited in this house to drink coffee ...


























... and to another house for dinner ....




























Early morning the sun came again .... breakfast !!!





























They came to see us from close ...






























This is what we first saw after waking up ...































OK ... let,s go !!!
































When the sun comes ... everybody dries the beans outside ...








































































































Asking for cigarrettes ...




































Rice fields ....





































Where Samosir island finishes and one bridge links it with the mainland ...






































We were invited to drink tea and watch the chess game ...







































Liron,s eye saw this picture ....


















































































Almost arriving down ...










































The reward, hot springs ...











































Victoria, the Argentinian girl we met three times in three different countries ...
