My little private forest cabin in Tuk-Tuk - Sumatra

From Kuta in Bali to Tuk-Tuk in Sumatra. It has been an incredibly long journey, and in the end, I’ve spent more than 12 hours transiting between the two. My flight out of Bali left just before midnight, and I arrived somewhere in the middle of the night at Kuala Lumpur airport.

My stop-over wasn’t long enough to sleep, and I also needed more time. To make sure that I wouldn’t be paying for a visa extension in Indonesia and would get another free 30-day visa, I had to go through border control. So, once I arrived, I entered Malaysia, turned around, and got back into the airport.

It was morning when my flight to Medan left, and I took a taxi into the Medan city centre. On my paperwork day yesterday, I booked a private car to Parapat and got onto the ferry heading to Tuk-Tuk.

Tuk-Tuk

First things first, and once I arrived, I walked to my staying place to drop my backpack. There are no hostels here, so I’m sleeping in a private cabin in some forestry. I was tired because I didn’t sleep during the night, but I also didn’t feel like going to bed early. I ended yesterday and started today without sleep but with a shower in between. At least I begin fresh, which is always welcome after flying all night.

Tuk-Tuk locates on Samosir, which is an island in Lake Toba. The scenery here is impressive, and I can’t wait to check it out, although that will be for the following days. There wasn’t that much time left for me to do things. Instead, I went wandering around my staying place. Their garden brings you straight to Lake Toba, and it is easy to walk along the lake. I can’t complain about anything.
