"Medan to Lake Toba" by erion

There are some great places to visit near Medan and I would encourage you to see anything rather than stay in Medan. If you head to the Amplas bus station to the south of Medan city you can get on one of the regularly departing buses that head to Parapat on Lake Toba. Lake Toba is the worlds largest volcanic lake and is quite amazing. Pulau Samsoir is the touristy island in the lakes centre. Try to get away from the main hordes of people " there are plenty of losmens (cheap accommodations) away from the main area - where you can relax and still enjoy yourself by hiring a bike and taking a huge ride around the island.
