Lake Toba: Lake Toba: Batak culture and relaxing
http://laketoba-samosir.blogspot.com/2008/07/lake-toba-batak-culture-and-relaxing.html
Friday, July 18, 2008. Lake Toba: Batak culture and relaxing. At night we drink something in Lekjon’s restaurant. The personnel is friendly, and one of them starts playing the guitar. A few English guests know some songs, and Sabine also starts playing. It is a good start for our stay at Lake Toba, which promises to become a holiday during our world journey. Where are the tourists et Lake Toba? Cannibalism at the old courtyard. We pay our guide, not surprised he asks for more, and move on to the souvenir...

http://laketoba-samosir.blogspot.com/2008/07/exploring-prapat.html
Saturday, July 19, 2008. The town of Prapat, as seen from our chartered boat on Lake Toba. We stayed at the Danau Toba International Cottage, which is the row of building with red roofs at water's edge. For want of something better to do, we chartered a boat to go out into the lake, where we enjoyed a lovely sunset view of Prapat and Samosir Island. One of the main villages on the eastern coast of the island. The lanes in Prapat slope down towards Lake Toba. Workman hauling boat back to shore in Prapat.

Lake Toba: Exploring Tomok
http://laketoba-samosir.blogspot.com/2008/07/exploring-tomok.html
Saturday, July 19, 2008. Traditional Batak house in Tomok, with grain being dried in the yard, and a less-than-traditional satellite dish at the back. Tomok is one of the main towns on Samosir Island. It has a jetty for ferries coming in from Prapat. Which is 30 minutes away on the eastern bank of the lake. The main draw of Tomok must surely be the King Sidabutar's tomb. That was being made ready. When I visited, the workmen were putting on the finishing touches to the museum. Exploring the Batak Museum.

Lake Toba: Exploring Tuk Tuk
http://laketoba-samosir.blogspot.com/2008/07/exploring-tuk-tuk.html
Saturday, July 19, 2008. Early morning at Tuk Tuk on Samosir Island. Tuk Tuk Peninsula is located on the eastern coast of Samosir Island. It is the main tourist village on the island, and it is here that tourists to Samosir find most of the accommodation, from simple guesthouses called losmen. It is not difficult to understand why Tuk Tuk is the tourist centre of Samosir Island, for it is by far the most picturesque part of the island. When I was there, I stayed at Hotel Silintong. Some come by motorcycl...

Lake Toba: Ambarita Photo Album
http://laketoba-samosir.blogspot.com/2008/07/ambarita-photo-album.html
Saturday, July 19, 2008. Restored Toba Batak houses in Ambarita. Unfortunately the roofing does not match the architecture. A closer view of the tribal houses reveal intricate carvings. Victims awaiting their fate is imprisoned behind the wooden bars below this house. This is either the tomb or monument to the Siallagan kings. It is at the entrance to the tribal village. Unfortunately I cannot determine it for sure. This is another monument, or perhaps tomb, to Laga Siallagan, the first ruler of Ambarita.
