Good evening to all my happy traveling companions in this beloved community.

Hi friends who always enjoy being active in this amazing community.

On this very beautiful night I am back again to tell you about my journey visiting a cold city, with friends and stopping at a very luxurious cafe, namely Portola Hotel Grand Renggali.

I traveled at 10.00 am, arrived at the hotel around 04.00 pm, for me this was quite a long journey,And of course this is a very enjoyable journey.

This became an obstacle on the trip when it was halfway there, it rained heavily and we had to stop for a moment to take shelter in a hut on the side of the road, the rain fell for about 1 hour before it stopped, quite a long time, right?

when I stopped on the road I had time to take some photos of the road where I stopped to take shelter from the rain.

Luckily, during the heavy rain, there was a shelter on the side of the road. Of course, my friends and I stopped there and went inside the hut to take shelter from the rain.

this is what the hut looks like.

I was shocked and stopped, not only us who took shelter in this place but there were several other people who took shelter in one place with us, an hour later the rain began to ease to drizzle, my friends and I immediately continued our journey to the city of Takengon, where in the city there is a very magnificent hotel with its beauty.

around 03.00 pm I had entered the city of Takengon after I passed the red light intersection, found an alley leading to a Laut Tawar lake located on the edge of the cafe I wanted to visit, I immediately waited for my friend who was left behind, and entered the alley together so as not to get lost until the destination to the cafe.

when I was about to arrive and enter the fairly deep alley, I had time to see housing with a very perfect view I was amazed by the view and stopped for a moment to take some photos.

this is the appearance of the entrance to the portola grand hotel renggali cafe.

In the middle of the journey there is a sign on the mountain that says Gayo Lues land, maybe that is the boundary between the Gayo people and the Takengon people, as in the photo I showed above, I took it on the same road.

then not long after arriving in front of the hotel, my friends and I immediately entered the motorbike parking area, where at this hotel the security guard asked for an estimated price of IDR 10,000 per motorbike, I immediately paid it so as not to linger in the parking area.

because my friends and I were very tired on the road after traveling quite far we were very thirsty and decided to get off and choose a cafe for us to stop by and sit and relax enjoying the scenery around here.

this cafe is what I chose to sit and relax.

The appearance of the cafe design is very beautiful, isn't it?

In this hotel there are two cafes, each of which has a beautiful front, one has a very tempting garden with a horse statue design that I have shown in my previous post, but the other cafe that I stopped at that I showed tonight we can enjoy the view of Lake Laut Tawar from above which looks like a row of very amazing mountains.

so it is not surprising that this hotel is called a gem, because besides enjoying the view of the hotel and cafe design, we can also enjoy the view of the lake and mountains around it, so in my opinion the view is quite complete, no wonder this place is very magnificent.

after I took some photos at the cafe I sat down with my friends, and a waiter came who brought the food and drink menu, then I wrote down the drink and food orders, then I looked behind me, where at the end of this cafe which is above there is a very beautiful atmosphere with a very attractive chair design.

this is the appearance of the top of the portola cafe on the 2nd floor which looks very luxurious and very comfortable.

then i immediately stood up and looked to the left side of where i was sitting, it was amazing, i didn't waste this opportunity and took some photos.

then I went again to the right side which showed a very wide view.

this is what the right side looks like.

I have captured all the victories on the top of the portola hotel, where I saw the lecturers who were very amazing and the chairs were also very luxurious. then I went straight down to enjoy the view of the freshwater lake, which is below this cafe is very close to the lake water, and displays a very wide and complete left and right view.

That's what the Portola Grand Renggali Hotel cafe looks like that a few days ago I saw with my friends, and in this place you can see a very complete view, so for those who visit this place it is very suitable to stop at Portola Hotel, for people who travel from any city it is quite comfortable in this place to relax and enjoy the view of the freshwater lake.

all the scenery photos that I show tonight, I took using a camera..

This is me Samsuar, on the HIVE blog my name is @suarlex, I am a #photographer, I am just a village boy who likes to explore the forest, look for interesting insects, I also like traveling, and telling stories about what I find.

Okay friends that's my story about my trip to visit the freshwater lake Laut enjoying from the Portola Grand Renggali hotel, I was really very satisfied and entertained with my friends enjoying from the place I showed above, yesterday when I was at the cafe the weather was still rainy and cloudy, I tried to take pictures in great detail, hopefully you are entertained by the presence of some photos of the scenery that I have prepared for you to enjoy tonight.
