Hi Hive Lovers
It's our wedding anniversary 10th and I had planned to celebrate with just my wife. Last weekend I managed to surprise her.
I really didn't expect this to be such a big surprise for my wife. How not, it turns out that this is an old dream and has never been realized until now. In all her life she really had never set foot in the city of Takengon in the highlands of Aceh. Takengon is famous as a cold city because of its average temperature which is below 15°C, it is also famous as a producing area for Gayo coffee or Aceh coffee and has the largest lake on the island of Sumatra.
As a tourist destination, Takengon City has many hotels and inns. But I prefer a cottage as a place for us to stay for 2 nights. the name of the cottage is Aesthetic cottage.
This uniquely shaped cottage is made entirely of quality wood, very suitable for cold areas because the wooden building will warm it. It is located right at the foot of the hill as well as being on the edge of the famous lake here, namely Lut Tawar.
Unfortunately, the manager of this unique cottage only gave us permission to take photos of the outside of the cottage. No problem, on the outside it is much more beautiful.
From the bottom of the cottage, you are treated to various types of freshwater ornamental fish swimming to and fro, including koi fish, goldfish, tilapia and several small fish whose names I don't know. Guests staying here are allowed to feed these fish.
Around the lake there are also many cages to keep fish belonging to the local community. The 5 units of fish cages that are right in front of the cottage where we are staying belong to the manager of this cottage. He also offered to let me enjoy fishing there. But, I refused.
As far as the eye can see, you can see a wide lake surrounded by mountains, called the Bukit Barisan mountains. These mountains continue along the island of Sumatra, I still remember Geography lessons when I was in grade 2 at my elementary school.
The time we enjoyed the most was at dusk and at night. Sitting enjoying dinner on the terrace of the cottage overlooking the lake is something to be enjoyed. In the distance around the lake you can see the twinkling lights, you will immediately enjoy the romantic atmosphere, but prepare your jacket because the temperature is very cold. It's not warm enough to hug with your partner.
I didn't want to take photos for the night, because I didn't want to spoil our romantic atmosphere on this exotic vacation. If you want to feel it, come to this place. You will come home with your own romantic memories.
