Batak Funeral in Samosir, Indonesia. 🇮🇩

As the scooter adventures of Lake Toba continue I happened to drive past a local village funeral. I was surprised that people mourned by singing and dancing. It was very different to how we do funerals in the west. This is the kind of experience you have when traveling that opens your eyes and makes you think. The adventures continued, as I drove the scooter off Samosir island, take the bridge over Lake Toba to the mainland and up to a viewpoint tower called Tele. As underwhelming as that was I continued further up the mountain, searching for a better view, when I found people making roadside gardens in celebration of Indonesia’s Independence Day. The natural beauty in this part of the country is already incredible but the extra human touch of the gardens makes it extra special. 💗 Help the channel grow by liking, commenting and subscribing.
