Lake Danau Toba, Sumatra

Next stop,  Lake Danau Toba, one of the largest crater lakes in the world, with an Island in the middle, formed from another Volcanic eruption many years later.  Samosir the island is super laid back, so much so that magic mushrooms are legal and sold everywhere.  

The Liberta's Guest House was one of my favorite places I have ever stayed.  It may have been that it was so cheap.  Under $1 for most meals, shakes and such great honest and friendly family who pampers you like royalty.  It could have been the intricately designed long houses amongst the beautiful gardens situated beside the peaceful lake.  This was a great change from the crazy traffic, and terrible roads of Sumatra.  An exciting motor bike ride around the whole island takes 10 hours, give or take, depending how many flat tires along the way.  Wow the worse the roads the more primitive the village.
