We went to the place Tuk Tuk to a very nice guesthouse named Romlan. The ferry brings you to their doorstep. The climate is very nice and the the view very relaxing. You can also rent a scooter to see the island. Loved it. Tip: the ferry leaves from Parapat (tiga raja harbour) to Tuk tuk. On the way back we thought it would be nice to stay one night in Parapat near the harbour. But accomodations are very bad and pricy.so not recommended. We landed on Medan airport. You can take a shared taxi which is okay priced. Later we found out air asia also has a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Silangit which is closer to Lake Toba. From Silangit there is a Damri bus to Parapat (tiga raja harbour) And from there you can take the ferry to Tuk tuk.

No. 1 place that must go when visit Acheh. The law is very strict that must emptied the Mosque common area during regardless any of the praying time. You also will be feel very peaceful when you step into this great Mosque especially for praying and I am very sure the feeling will be remain as a great memory. The design is great,the beautiful and nicely design canopy that can make you feel like in Madinah.

Every mosque, mostly the major mosque of the city will have a special artistic design. It might be just another mosque for some, but at least it make a statement about the locals.

The rocks there is so amazingly huge and with the combination of soft white sand, you can just use your barefoot to walk the area and climb some of the rocks for the best pictures, the area is clean and crystal clear water.

Lengkuas Island located in the waters of the Belitung Island, and is about 30 minutes away by boat from Tanjung Kelayang beach or Tanjung Binga in District Sijuk, Belitung.In Lengkuas Island there is Lighthouse, built by Dutch colonial in 1882 and still actively working for marine navigation. Visitors must wash feet with fresh water before entering the lighthouse buildings constructed of steel, because the sea water can cause rust on the building. From the lighthouse, you can see beauty of the white sandy beaches on the island with giant granite rocks and clear sea water greenish.

Snorkeling on Lengkuas Island is an activity I did to see the beauty of the corals when I visited there a few days ago. besides that I feel happy when I drink a fresh coconut while looking at the view of the blue sea and the unique cluster of granite stones.

We have known Pastor James for more than 10 years and whenever we are in Medan, will attempt to go and visit the church and meet Pastor James, if he is available. Once I saw him bless a car. He always spent time to speak to the public and we are comforted by him. We go to lick a candle after prayer and also to collect some bottles of holy water for blessing and bring back to Singapore. We will write a petition to ask for blessing and help in our daily life. Please feel free to come and view the historical gallery and buy some sovenirs for remembrance.
