Harangaol market

Market

Every Friday, villagers from around the lake sail to Haranggaol for the weekly market.

After a day of shopping, they head back with food, beer, and the latest gossip.

As for us, we managed to catch a lift to Samosir Island.

Chess in Sumatra

Chess

The ‘Kasparov’ chess computer was to be ‘put to the test’.

Chess masters were summoned to the local café for the match.

The final result: ‘Kasparov’ was defeated in just under 2 minutes.

Cycling – Sumatra

Green

The scenery along the Trans-Sumatra Highway gave us a new definition of the word ‘green.’ Green is overwhelming, multi-hued, and… tropical.

So it’s also dreaming of a cool shower at the end of a long, hot day.
