  • Waterfalls, monkeys, and views to die for! Come with us on a beautiful day trip across Lake Toba - driving across Samosir Island to the mainland to check out some of the top Lake Toba attractions.
    We've been out of action for a few weeks (musim sakit is here - aka sick season!), but our lovely friend Trudy is visiting from Australia, so Agung took her on a fun scooter road trip to show her some of our favourite spots in Lake Toba, North Sumatra.
    Join Agung and Trudy as they make the most of a sunny Samosir day and visit Air Terjun Efrata (Efrata Waterfall), Tele Tower, and Aek Rangat Hot Springs to the West of the world's largest caldera lake.

      Thank you! So love to see the monkeys, but it can be scary on a bike if you slow down too much haha.

      Thank you guys - the virus is a nasty one but we are getting there! Trudy is having a great time now that she has recovered from the same illness. Looking forward to getting back out there asap! xxx

    I hope Carly gets better. Pity we could not catch up with you guys while we were there. Three days was not long enough! However it was so much more beautiful than we ever imagined. Cheers

    Smells like boiled eggs (sulphur) if it is the same as our NZ hot pools Agung - that hot pool looked great - do people swim or is it too hot? Your English is getting better and better Agung ""Dumb Ass "and "Numb Bum" LOL !!! I enjoyed seeing more of your neighbourhood. glad you are feeling better Trudy and able to go sight seeing. xxxxxx🌻💚

    I am going to lake toba in a week, how was the weather?

    • @ExploringSumatra
      @ExploringSumatra  Před 8 měsíci

      Yay! It’s a bit random at the moment. This week we have had rain most afternoons and some evenings - even a few morning showers. But last week was quite nice without so much rain. Either way, the rain is usually only in the late afternoon and night. 😊

    Lake Toba is beautiful, but can be extremely dangerous if it erupts!

    • @ExploringSumatra
      @ExploringSumatra  Před 8 měsíci

      True! Hopefully we have another 100,000 years before that happens haha.

    Selemat Malam dari CA. Bagus video. Siapa Trudy? Bilang kepada saya. Feel better, Carly. Ada toko mas di Samosir. Saya cari info mas chain, 22k, 18tangan/long, berapa harganya, kira-kira? Terima kasih. 💙

    • @ExploringSumatra
      @ExploringSumatra  Před 8 měsíci

      Horas Liz! Trudy adalah teman lama. Pertama kali bertemu di Tangkahan enam tahun yang lalu. Dia sangat baik. Maaf, tidak ada toko mas di sini. ☺

      Selemat Sore, Carly! Paling pintar dalam bahasa Indonesia. Bagus pengalaman 4 Trudy di Sumatra. Berani naik sepeda motor menajak di Tangkahan. Long, gray, skinny gray cat with ear infection is much better with miconzalole nitrate cream, black
      gunk disappeared. Take care. FYI Charlotte the Cat Groomer in North Carolina @$185. Fun videos. Cats rock!@@ExploringSumatra
