Journey To Twin Lake

I had to travel to see one side of the natural beauty of West Sumatra. Twin lakes road to pass a motorbike from Padang to the east edge of town In Padang, there is a factory which he said Semen Padang's oldest cement factory in Indonesia. It is conceivable, conditions around the dusty cement factory, not to mention the cement trucks are moving around competing sides of the road with my bike ride. It was full of dust. But the spirit of happy self to the natural beauty of the Almighty's creation remained high.

After the factory Semen Padang, a sharp rise so treats. Climb famous in West Sumatra, SITINJAU lawik (in Indonesian language SITINJAU Sea). That is, a location that can review the ramp, see the sea coast of Padang. From the climb wove which lies east of this city of Padang, West coast can be seen in the desert city the other end.

This is very cruel climb on trucks and cars that are no longer worth trying out
street climbing. Come high road very sharp, and were met with a sharp bend as well. Not to mention the avalanche that had licked some of the road. And as is common in this country, the course is no longer smooth, holes and mounds of asphalt is very annoying loud once.

However, any shortcomings are remedied by the scene on the left and right along the
SITINJAU through the sea. Entering the park Raya Bung Hatta road users getting pampered with natural Green West Sumatra.

After lunch, the journey continues. Arriving at the fork, if straight toward the town of Solok, turn right into Long Alahan (Solok district), which directly borders with the District with its capital Solok Selatan Padang Aro and Sungai Penuh Kerinci Jambi. Choosing motorcycle turn right. Entering the Long Alahan, the highest plateau in West Sumatra, Piercing cold. On the left and right lay a large tea garden,
really stunning scenery. Without considering the people who passed,perpetuate the view we took in the spirit Narsism.

Istrirahat briefly in a mosque while performing the Noon Prayer. The water is very cold. People from the hot coastal plains to go to the highest in West Sumatra,
I was surprised when ablution ', makes skin wrinkled. After missing tired,
continue to travel in the Twin Lake District.

This twin lakes known as "On the Lake" and "Under the Lake". There is an interesting phenomenon of these two lakes, lake over listed below the right path, while the lower lake is located the upper left path. To get to the lake below the road turn left to climb about 1 pound more. Not confused? I wrote confused wrote it ...

Entering the stretch twin lake district lake below looked to the right, unfortunately, this time black clouds made of water color reflected as bewarna
black. Arriving at the intersection of the lake, we turn left, more or less a pound,
pay the money into five thousand dollars but not in love tickets (regular security costs for the youth around).

Arriving at the location, the new can be seen clearly that both the Lake, the right side On the Lake, the Lake Beneath the Left. While eating the fruit strowberry not forget the pictures. But unfortunately, the location is not neglected, many garbage and irregular. The toilet is also not there. You know, the general phenomenon of tourist attractions in this country, although not all of them.

A journey that eliminates fatigue after a week on the move ....
