In total it cost IDR 1.3mio something for 2 person. So I said I would joined if I got 1 friend to go. Since it much cheaper that way. So I dragged one of my friend there. Hahaha
The one thing that I hate traveling with him was, he's never be well planned. So, we already booked the date but not yet confirmed about the list of places that we should go. And because of suddenly the flight was moved to a day before the booked date we need to book another hotel for the first night. And it was done only like, two days before the flight *after chasing him for weeks!=_______=
So we departed at Friday after office. Since my friend worked from home that day, we decidec to meet in front of Museum Mandiri, Kota. I took ojek from office to Tebet station because the traffic in Kuningan area was really bad and then took train from Tebet to Kota and it took around 45 minutes. And I did a really stupid thing. I brought a juice and put it in my sling bag, and the seal was break.
It made all my documents, including the boarding ticket, was wet and even made my powerbank broken #cries. And when I told Sean, he's kinda upset because of my stupidity and because he's run out time and can't reprinted mine. So I told him that it's fine and hopefully I still can boarding. #crossingfinger
After I met with my friend in Kota, we took taxi to Soekarno Hatta Airport. And because of it's Friday, even the toll was on traffic. Sean and his friend, Arifin, already had they dinner when we're came and because it's almost the boarding time, they continued to boarding room when we're came.
We arrived at Kualanamu airport, Medan around 11pm. After waiting for Arifin's baggage, we decided to rent a car with driver to drop us to the hotel. After bargaining, we got IDR 200k for one way and spent our first night in Swiss Belinn, Medan. Eventhough small, but it's a quite nice hotel, good service, and with reasonable price, even it has mini mart right in the front of it.
In the next day, after breakfast, we're repackaged our baggage because we'll moved to another hotel for the rest 2 nights and ready to go. We're waiting for the rented car that Sean already booked for almost 30 minutes (dont asked me how much it cost, he didnt tell me either =___=").
After discussing where we should go right after we climbed up to the car (I did tell you that we have no fix scheduled right?), so, we agreed to go to Taman Hutan Alam (Tahura) Brastagi.
So we're moving to Puncak Gundaling where we could see mount Sinabung from a far. I must admitted it's really nice place to just enjoy the day and sipped Medan coffee.
It's near lunch when we're driving down from Puncak Gundaling. And suddenly the Mount Sinabung has small eruption (thanks to the boys who said it's less challenging there!=___=). I really feel grateful that we already on our way down. Can't imagined if we're still on the top.
We have lunch at Brastagi city. And not take long time after we arrived, the volcanic dust started to rain.
And after finished our lunch, we decided to move from Brastagi, away from Sinabung. So, we went to SipisoPiso waterfall. Because of it's near evening, unfortunately we cant going down to the waterfall. But instead, we're taking photo from above and it's still beautiful up there.
Sipisopiso waterfall earned the title for the highest waterfall in Indonesia (120 meters or 360 feet). It located in northernmost tip of the Lake Toba caldera. Thus, Sipisopiso became a well-known tourist attraction that offers great view of the fall and the lake. So, if you're cant go down to Lake Toba, this spot was recommended for you to have a view of the lake. But I privately reminded you dont forget to bring anti bugs spray or lotion because lot of mosquitoes there.
Because it's almost evening, we have to going back to Medan city, since we're far away from Medan. The journey back took about 3 to 4 hours including rains and the traffic jam.
We have our dinner before going back to hotel and we chose Wajir seafood for sure, it said as one of the famous seafood restaurant in Medan.
Ah, just for the information that actually Medan well known for lot of piggy meat foods, but because only one of us who eat it, so, sorry we didnt go to any. Hahahaha
We're late check in our Hotel, Soechi International Hotel. This hotel was bigger than the previous hotel, but actually I really disappointed with this hotel. For 4 stars hotel, the service was really bad, even our previous hotel was much better eventhough it's smaller.
The front office service was really slow, which makes me more upset (also my gastritis say hi again). And when we finally got our room key, my room can't be opened for... twice! And so I decided to go to Sean's room and crawling there while waiting for the room service to come. And it's only the beginning of my bad experienced in this international hotel labeled, which I will tell you in the 2nd part.
Ja ne
