After we finished with Tomok and the King's tomb we took the bus back toward the Tabo Cottage. With about a kilometer or two to go, most of our group decided to stop and walk the rest of the way back to the hotel. It was an absolutely fantastic walk and Morris gave us great insite into the local flora. We saw all sorts of lovely plants and herbs etc ..

| We passed by a wedding taking place. |
This is was quite the site with an impromptu wedding "picnic" set up on the side for the road. Everyone looked lovely and as we kept driving we saw all the villagers walking to the wedding, dressed in their best finerery.

After our walk we returned to Toba Cottages and I had a few beers while catching up on email by using the free wifi at the Toba Cottages. Afterwards I went back to my room and had a little nap before dinner. In fact I slept in for dinner. That was too bad because it was incredibly tasty, chicken curry and rice with corn soup.
After dinner Aili and I took a walk through the upper village of actual Tuk Tuk but there was no real action other than a lot of magic mushrooms for sale and most of the shops were closed. I wish I had of gone for a walk earlier in the day. We then grabbed a couple of large bottles of Bintang beer and went to the pavilion and sat overlooking the lake before turning in.
