Sony guesthouse, Sumatra, Indonesia

This guesthouse is wonderful and weird at the same time. Here the weird part: It was built in the 90th and it seems like no renovation of the building happened since then. Here in Sumatra with this high humidity and rain during all year you can imagine what happens to a building not taken care of. This fact and that we were the only guests in this guesthouse until yesterday (when a Dutch couple arrived) makes it weird and a bit apocalyptic. The wonderful part is the location on Samosir, since it is outside the village Tuk Tuk which makes it incredibly calm and peaceful. Nevertheless you have 3 families around which offer food, it’s called restaurant but you more or less eat in the living room of the family. The guesthouse itself has a wonderful garden of which a gardener takes good care. It’s located at the shore of lake Toba 400m away from the next guesthouse at the shore. This gives you the feeling that’s *your* lake. In addition the small ferry drops you at you personal boat launch. It not only feels like *your* lake, it also feels like your *own estate*, since there is nobody around except you. I hope the Dutch couple either stay in their room, or leave soon 🤪.Baca lagi
