Day 2 - 24 May 2008
---------------------------
Today... Our destination was Taman Simalem Resort or aka Pearl of Lake Toba. It was where we had our 'jungle tracking'. It took us 2 hour to there. As soon as we arrived, I was really amazed!
It was really fascinating. The view, the agricultural farm, the infrastructure, everything! I was indeed in my full spirit.
It was already about noon when we were going to start 'jungle tracking'. In order to pump up our stamina, we had a box of snack! There were actually 4 tracks. Unfortunately, since we did not have enough time, we did not take track 3, which spent the most time of all. Before we started, we were divided in 3 groups. One lead by Farrand(Class Monitor), one by Ubi(Vice CM), and last
one by Darius(expert in Hash!). I was with our lovely CM.
=Group 1||lead by Farrand=
==Track 1===From the very beginning, I was really challenged by the difficulty of its track. It was mostly ascending track. Well, I admitted it took quite a lot of my stamina. The end of track 1 was at the river where there were two waterfalls. We stopped there for a while to rest and took photographs.
==Track 2==
If the first one was mostly ascending, this one was mostly descending. Although it didn't take
much stamina, it was actually making my leg exhausted. Why??? It's because my leg had to support my body from falling down when I walked descendingly. Actually, this track was towards to the way out of the jungle. But, just before the way out, there was a place to have another break. It was near the continuation of the river.
Unexpectedly, it was already nearly 4 hours since we entered the jungle. On the way back to the cafe, we passed by the hill of orange farm. All of us were in the most exhausted state when we reached the cafe. We had our buffet meal there. After everyone was full, we decided to continue for the next one. The bad news was... it started to rain again! However, every UNLEASHED members with full spirit decided to continue! UNLEASHED!!! WHO CARES!!!
==Track 4==
It was only a trip to see another waterfall. It is believed that there were ghost there... In fact, the only thing unique in this track was we had to pass the river using a block of wood. It was quite okay... better than nothing, though.
Day 2 ended quite boring. We were stuck on our way home. I thought it was the rain that made us met a long traffic jam. Despite that, I was really satisfied. This would be one of the best day I had ever had!
End of Day 2
