Exactly beautiful and amazing! Yes.. Lake Toba would be the next destination. I am a nature lover. I love to see the beauty of the world. So, my friends and I decided to go to this place next year on March 2014 and guess what? We booked the flight to Medan, Indonesia from KL, Malaysia (spent RM72 for each ticket and it's a return ticket)! So excited and can't wait for the trip! Hopefully everything will go smoothly as planned. 

Okay, now let's have a brief introduction of the lake.

Lake Toba, Medan, Indonesia

Lake Toba is the largest lake in Southeast Asia, once created by an enormous eruption less than 100,000 years ago. Ashes in the stratosphere circled around the earth for years and changed the climate. As things began to settle another volcanic eruption happened about 25,000 years later and built up a secondary volcano inside the caldera. 

The cone of that volcano collapsed and formed the island Samosir while the crater of the first eruption filled with water, what to become Lake Toba. The lake covers approximately 1,265 square km excluding Samosir and is 90 km long. The depth is in on average 450m and up to 900m in some places. The lake is situated at an altitude of 906 m above sea level. The steep coastline interspersed with small valleys creates fantastic scenery and isolated areas. The deepest end and the highest mountains are at its northeastern end.
