2010 Lake Toba Trip

After hearing about the Tsunami warning this afternoon and watching the new videos on Youtube.

I was reminded of the day we spent in Lake Toba, Medan, Indonesia a while back.

But that time it wasn't a Tsunami. It was a minor eruption on Mt. Sinabung 25miles from Lake Toba. It happened on the 29th of August 2010.

I remembered that LP and I were having a quiet time by the lake after a swim (if you call splashing around in one spot 'swimming'). And the atmosphere changed from a beautiful sunny day to an eerie dark sky accompanied by sound of the wind blowing. The wind kind of made waves on the lake. We actually commented how weird it was but never thought anything else about it.

I wasn't sure when we left for KL but i knew someone (G) was already getting worried and trying to get a hold of us but couldn't. But we got out of there without knowing that the volcano erupted until we were safely in the comfort of our own home.
