After a short trip without our Babies (bayi bayi the Aditya) a week before and after our Last great family trip in December last year, this time we’re “going back home” to our favorite place Danau Toba.
But this time, Ibuk think and tell Bapak that it’s a better to explore another spot in Danau Toba. Ya, Ibuk wants to going to Siborong borong, Balige and other place between. “It’s such a good idea. Tell us about the accommodations and spot to visit” said Bapak.
After through five hours driving from Medan, we arrived at Siborong borong at 9 in the night. We stay at Piltik Homestay, They have a cozy and homy place to stayed. They also have some places to explore, one of it is a Paddy’s field. But because they didn’t have too many rooms, we have to make a reservation before we comes, and for tonight Ibuk reserved a family room with a queen bed and a couple bed with a stair for the kids.
It’s a beautiful foggy morning when we take some breakfast at 7. With 14’C, make our breakfast more perfect with varieties of food and coffee (absolutely) that they have. Oh ya, This area also known as a great coffee bean producer, it’s called “Lintong Coffee”.
After finishing our breakfast, we went to piltik paddy’s field. Walking through the paddy’s field, looking for young paddy beans, singing, playing, Ibuk feels so embraced to see hows the babies enjoying their new experiences. Because of the rains started to falling down, We can’t explore the Piltiks much more. Ibuk ask Bapak to moving on to Silangit airport to take some snacks.
Distance between Piltik Homestay to Silangit Internasional airport is only 20 to 30 minutes driving. At the airport, there’s lot off varieties of local Snacks product store, but for today we choose to find some at “Timbo Cafe”. They have a good sausage, steamed bread with variants jam, coffees and more.
Silangit Internasional Airport already has lots of flight schedules (Domestic and International flight) now, Direct flight from or to Jakarta, Medan or Malaysia and Singapore.
After buying some snacks and coffee, we continuing our trip to “Sipinsur Geosite”. It’s a soothe pine park beside the Lake. Located in the highlands of Humbang Hasundutan District, we can enjoying the Lakeside and another island view from this point. To keep the site clean and comfortable to visit, we have to buy tickets before we get in to the site, it’s only 2000 Rupiah/person.
Before we continued our journey to Parapat, Bapak tell Ibuk to bringing the kids to Pak Sidabutar coffee processing factory. In this (approximately) 3 hectares area, he has coffee garden with processing machine. The babies learn how to process “Bapak Coffee” from harvesting the beans until it becomes a cup of delicious “arabica Lintongs Coffee.
And after taking around at the coffee factory, we ask the kids to take a naps and recharge their power to swimming on the lake while Bapak driving to Parapat.
Arriving in Parapat at 5, kiddos feeling so exited to get in to the water after checking -in at Inna Parapat Hotel. Yeaah, it’s a great way to coming home after all of lots of stories since new year..
