Indonesia – Sumatra – Lake Toba

The village of Tuk Tuk on the eastern shore of Samosir Island in the middle of Lake Toba
is a real getaway place that hardly exists. A handful of shops, hotels and eateries cluster along the water’s edge offering little to do but breathe in the beauty of nature. At the small Juwita cafe Hedi and her family (pictured here with her son Kikiandrea) serve delicious native Batak meals.
