      We left Berastagi on time to go to our next destination, the harbour village Singkil. Due to an accident we arrived two hours late at our first stop the Sipiso Piso waterfall (210 meters high). After a quick lunch we hit the road and arrived at our final destination Singkil at 6.20 PM. After a quick stroll to the harbour we're now laying in our bed hoping the best for tomorrows boat journey to Tailana Island.

      Überfahrt nach Tailana Island

      9 de marzo de 2023, Indian Ocean

      Our morning started with an unsuccessful treasure hunt for an atm which wants to give us some money. We now just have to hope for the best cashwise. The proud Swiss people that we are we of course arrived at the port 10 minutes early to leave it 80 minutes later by the locals boat. Apperently we forgot somebody at land wich made us wait another two hours. After another 4 hours we arrived on the Island Balai where our hosts were already waiting for us with their slow boat. At 5 PM we arrived at Tailana Island, our final destination. We were flabbergasted from the first minute we arrived. More about this beautiful island tomorrow...

      Üse Morge het demit ahgfange, dassmer zwei Geldautomate abklapperet hend wo üs aber beidi nüt hend wölle usegeh. Bargeldmässig mömmer ide nögste Täg eifach ufs beste hoffe. Typisch schwizerisch simmer denn 10 Minute zfrüeh am Hafe gstande, dassmer 80 Minute spöter mit em Boot vode iheimische hend chöne ablegge. Ahschienend hemmer denn aber no nebert oder nebis a Land vergesse und hend drum nomol 2 Stund bizli usserhalb möse uf es anders Boot warte. 4 Stund spöter simmer denn uf de Insle Balai ahcho, wo üsi Gastgeber mit erem "slow boat" uf üs gwartet hend. Am 17.00 simmer nochere wunderbare Bootsfahrt endli a üsem Ziel, de Insle Tailana ahcho. Meh zu dem Stückli Paradies gits morn...

      Tuangku, Banyak Islands, Indonesia

      2 de febrero de 2020, Indonesia ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C

      Our first stop was at 14:00 in Suka Makmur on Tuangku island. It’s a very small village and it seems like only very little tourists pass by. Two guys left the boat who transported a theodolite or some similar measuring device.
      After that, we passed a lot of small islands since the Banjak islands are an archipelago of almost 1000 island, some bigger and some pretty small.
      The next stop was at 14:30 in Yaahowu on the same island, where we unloaded most of the other goods like the cable, the fridges, the gas, the steal and so on and most of the other people left the boat - this took quite a while. It was amazing to sit in the shadow on the boat and watch how they manage to get the stuff out of and from the boat and how they organized the transport away from the jetty - it was like watching a documentary on arte 🤪.
      Then went on to our final stop: Haloban, on the same island - we arrived there at 15:45.
      But this was not our final destination... we still needed to hop on another island called Tambarat, but since there in no „public boat“ to Tambarat we needed to get a fisherboat to bring us there. We found captain Wawan and after he went out for shopping some fruit for Ira & Viki (our hosts in Tambarat) we left half an hour later with a boat full of food and water. The final part of our trip took us round about 40 minutes and we arrived save and sound at or final destination at 17:30. Finally, 19,5 hours after we left Lake Toba. It was an amazing experience and we were so happy that we chose this kind of transportation (alternatively we could have ordered a personal speedboat directly from Singkil to Tambarat island). We saw so many new thing and met so many nice people ❤️❤️❤️ - when I watch the photos a big smile covers my face.
      Ira, our host for the next few days in Tambarat welcomed uns and prepared some very delicious food - instantly we felt at home.
      More about Tambarat in my next entry....

      Insel Hopping

      11 de marzo de 2023, Indian Ocean ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

      Todays adventure was an island hopping tour with one of our host. Tailana is one of the Pulau Banyak wich translated are 'The hundred Islands". If you have a quick look at google maps you will see many tiny "Robinson Crusoe" Islands. Three of them have been visited by us today. Next to all of them were beautiful reefs and multicolored fish including some Nemos. Eventhough the weather wasn't as beautiful and with less sunburn potential than yesterday, we've soaked up all the beauty this place has to show.

      A special highlight waited for me after our last dinner (fish of course) when I was finally allowed to pet the cat that followed us everywhere. Thanks Ray🥰

      Am hüttige Tag het e Island-Hopping-Tour mit eim vo üse Gastgeber uf üs gwartet. Tailana isch ei Insle vode Pulau Banyak, wa übersetzt so vill wie "Hundert Insle" bedütet. Wennd schnell uf Google Maps güggslisch, gsehsch ganz vill chlinni "Robinson Crusoe"-Inseli. 3 vo dene hemmer hüt dörfe betrachte und eini vo dene het tatsächlich nume ei Kokospalme druf gha. Nebet allne Insle hets wunderschöni Riff inklusive es paar Nemos womer via Schorchel sind go bestune. Trotz em weniger (für Sunnebrand) guetem Wetter hemmer a üsem letschte volle Tag a dem unglaublich schöne Fleckli Erde alli Idrück regelrecht ufgsugt.

      E speziells Highlight vo dem Tag het noch em Znacht (wie all di letschte Moolzite hets natürli wieder Fisch geh) uf mi gwartet. I han endli dörfe de Büsi strichle wo üs scho sit Tag eis wie en Schatte verfolgt het. Danke Ray🥰

      Tambarat, Banyak Islands, Indonesia

      3 de febrero de 2020, Indonesia ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C

      Welcome to Tambarat, a small island of 1km in diameter within the Banyak archipelago.
      Tambarat is uninhabited except of Ira & Viki and their 4 basic bungalows. The bungalows have one big and comfortable bed (bedsheets with a pink unicorn🦄), a mosquito net (violett 🤪), some shelves, a small table, some hooks at the wall, light, a broom and a terrace with a table, 2 chairs and a hammock. Ira cooks 3 wonderful meals per day and you have a coffee/tea/water flat rate. There are two toilets with water basin and scoop, which you can use for showering 🧼. We have a generator here but use it only 3 hours per day from 19:00 to 22:00 and if we’re lucky we also have wifi then...
      This is the place where you dream of, when you dream of a lonesome island 🏝. The water is wonderful clear and we have a reef, with a loooooooot of fish 🐠. So guys excuse me, I need to go snorkeling and chill in the hammock, listening to some music 🎶 (I brought my boombox 🤪).

      Selamat Datang, Banyak Islands Idonesia

      8 de febrero de 2020, Indonesia ⋅ 🌧 27 °C

      Yesterday at noon stormy weather arrived and we had huge waves and a lot of tropical rain until early in the morning today. We were watching the weather forecast to find out, if it would be possible to cross over to Singkil, Sumatra by boat. This morning at 7:30 the rain was over and we left from Tambarat with the fisherboat to Haloban, Tuangku island. We loaded some goods and switched to a bigger boat. Fortunately not only the rain 🌧 was over, also the waves 🌊 were not too big to cross over.
      As usual we made another stop, loaded and unloaded some goods and watched the fishermen and children at the harbor. We loaded some big boxes 📦 with fish 🐠, and as you can see the fish is pretty colorful.
      It really feels adventurous to cross the open ocean with this kind of boat and big waves but fortunately it stayed calm enough to safely reach the harbor in Singkil, where Joe waited for us to bring us to Lake Toba.
      Already when we left we decided to pass by Lake Toba once more on our way back, because it’s so peaceful there, the people are nice, the food good, the lake wonderful clean and the temperature relaxing. So now: another week at Lake Toba ❤️.

      Singkil, Sumatra, Insonesia

      2 de febrero de 2020, Indonesia ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C

      Yesterday evening we left Tuktuk at 22:00 with Joe and his son Christian. Joe has a restaurant near Tuktuk and we joined him for BBQ and sometimes for breakfast. We talked a lot and at some point he offered to drive us to Singkil at the coast. Since we like Joe and in addition it was much cheaper than offered by the professionals we went with him and his son. It took us 9 hours for 250km, you can imagine the condition of the road, in addition there where almost no straight parts, curve after curve. I managed to sleep, so I woke up 20 minutes before we arrived at the coast. We were told to search for a captain called Aslan, he would leave with his boat at 9 am direction Haloban, a village on the Banyak islands. Finally we found the captain and his boat. During the next two hours at lot of people arrived and brought rice cooker, fridges (a lot of), rice, water, drinks, packets, steel, cable, gas, and, and, and... Everything was properly stored in and on the boat, a place for sitting on the floor was prepared and off we went. We were round about 15 passengers and like usually we were well integrated after a short time. It was a wonderful experience to be part of this temporary traveler family. After 5 hours at 14:00 we arrived at ou first stop in xxx, I will write more about that in the next entry.Leer más
