We spent 3 wonderfully relaxing
days at Lake Maninjau, staying for 2 nights at Hotel Pasir Panjang
and the 3rd at Hotel Tan Dirih.
The lake is a volcanic crater
lake surrounded by high ground on all sides, and it's one fourth
the length and width of Singapore island.
Fisherman of Lake Maninjau in the early
morning...
Daddy, Mummy and I love Lake Maninjau.
We spent many reflective moments
sitting by the lake and reading messages from the lake, the surrounding
mountains, the clouds in the sky and the golden sky during sunset...
Upon arrival at Lake Maninjau, we decided that the
best way to experience it was to rent a motorbike and ride around
the entire lake... so the Yongs and the Kohs took to the road
on vroom!
The green padi made a beautiful background...

The next morning, the Kohs left straight from Lake Maninjau for
Padang to catch a return flight to Singapore.
Robyn missed her playmate, Gordon.
Food wise, we found the Simple Cafe run by hubby-wife
team, Peli and Pitri, to be good. They were very friendly and shared
many stories and information with us freely.
We rented a sampan from Peli to paddle out to
the lake for fun, to appreciate the shoreline and for a swim.
