So we finally left Tuk Tuk and Lake Toba, reluctantly it has to be said. Our 5pm bus journey is delayed by one hour and then there's people in our seats. Apparently the main office in Medan have double booked, but don't worry miss there's seats at the back. In my best prima Donna, memsahib is not happy way I let them know I won't be sitting by the toilets and whilst I understand it's not their fault, its up to them to resolve the issue and the bus won't be leaving until it is resolved. Anyhow it worked and at 6.15pm we're off.
The bus stinks of urine every time we go down a slight slope and there's loud music blasting out. Two petrol stops, feeding at 10.45pm, prayers at 5.00am, loud music at 5.30am (thankfully it's a Bollywood I know so I can sing-along-a-Bollywood with the best of them, then annoyingly 5km away from our destination they stop for breakfast. Nooooooo, we're nearly there. Anyways, me and Adi part good friends and seemingly no grudges are borne.
Two mini buses later we are in Buket Tinggi, checked in and showered at the Orchid Hotel. It's pouring outside and we question our decision to leave our drinking buddies and the lake behind. The KFC is currently providing some solace but it will be short lived.
My left foot is very painful and swollen and I feel certain only Lake Toba can fix it......
