September 14th, 2013 - Parabat, Northern Sumatra

While captain Roger flew off to Singapore to buy impeller, a much needed replacement part for boat, I  began my solo adventure to see Danau Toba.
After a long bumpy 7 hours van ride, I arrived at Parabat, the gateway to Lake Toba.
The ride was tiring but well worth it to get some much welcome fresh, cooler mountain air.
It was a bit scrary walking late evening in sprinked rain
but I easily found a guesthouse, had dinner and went found a fast internet cafe for only $0.30 per hour.
