That afternoon my boss suddenly called to invite several employees to go to Takengon city to sell crackers that we produce in one of the home industries close to my house.

We left at 7 pm and during the journey the road to get there was very dark because the road passed through a mountainous area with minimal population, and the weather at night was very cold.

After several hours of long journey we finally arrived there in the morning. With the morning weather being very cold, we visited a hot spring located in Bener Meriah.

After spending time in the hot springs, we finally continued to the city of Takengon, and before that we stopped at a food stall for breakfast first, and after finishing we continued our journey to the large Lake which is located on the outskirts of the city of Takengon.

Apart from cows, there are also many people who keep horses here.

After traveling a little we stopped at a coffee stall located on the edge of the Lake.

This coffee shop is very strategically located on the edge of the lake with amazing views.

I really like the design of this coffee shop, and with its very beautiful view it makes it one of the nicest coffee shops I have ever visited.

Unfortunately when we arrived because it was still too early, the Mandale coffee shop wasn't open at that time, so we just sat and rested for a while while enjoying the beauty of the vast lake.

After finishing resting at the booth, we continued our journey around the beauty of the lake, and we stopped at a coffee shop located on the edge of the lake.
