4th April - Parapat - Lake Toba - Indonesia - rain


Friday 4th April


Relaxed Sumatran boatman
Today we are leaving Parapat, on the shores of Lake Toba, to go to the island in the middle of this huge, deep lake.  The island is the same size as Singapore, or Belgium, take your pick.  It is apparently very nice over there, very calm and relaxed.  But…I don’t think there will be orangutans…

It has been POURING, on and off, all day, with enormous thunderclaps.  We haven’t seen rain for so long we have been enjoying it.  Some of the time we avoided it by lying on our (COMFY!!) bed reading, but…when we went for a walk we had to shelter from the storm in a little shed, sitting on green plastic chairs.  I zizzed off a bit; I was not very good company, all things considered...

Who knows if there will be internet on our big lake island*??
