Finally, the day arrived. We left Singapore on a Singapore International Airlines flight to Medan. The magnificent view from the plane was so breathtaking that I do not know how to describe it. We touched down at the grand Medan airport an hour late. My uncle was waiting to takes us to the beautiful town at Parapat, one hundred and seventy-six kilometres away.

By the tune we reached Parapat, it was already late. Lake Toba's moonlight was absolutely mesmerizing. As lake Toba is nine hundred and ten metres above sea-level, I enjoyed the fresh mountain air. We checked in at a huge bungalow-type hotel.
