Lake Toba Travel Guide

Hugging the Tomok jetty are souvenir shops, again every store selling almost the same items. Tourists thinking of buying cheap t-shirts should try them out before purchasing. What I discovered was that the Indonesian sizes are much smaller than back home, so the same size might not fit.
The main draw of Tomok must surely be the King Sidabutar's tomb. Apart from that, there are also traditional Batak houses with the curved roor ridges to be found here. Further inland is a Batak Museum that was being made ready. When I visited, the workmen were putting on the finishing touches to the museum.
