Indonesia -- Day 7 Grand Mutiara Hotel and St Francis Assisi Church, Berastagi

This morning I had a fantastic breakfast on the patio of the Grand Mutiara Hotel, Berastagi. As I feasted on the buffet breakfast I looked out on the fantastic pool and the volcano Mount Sinabung.  The last eruptions at Mount Sinabung were 29 August, 03 September and 07 September, 2010.  Before that it was 1912, and before that 1600.

The grounds of the Grand Mutiara Hotel are just gorgeous !! I'm sure that they are an amazing site when in season and everything is blooming.

After breakfast we were leaving the hotel and heading to Medan to catch our flight to Jogjakarta.  The road from Berastagi to Medan is basically only a single lane each way. There is some beautiful scenery and nice hotels along the way.
