The rest of our tour group had
met with our G-Adventures tour guide, Vera, before we arrived,
but she had left a welcome sheet
and directions for the next day activities at the hotel reception desk.
The room was comfortable with
a good view of the pool and gardens in the courtyard below.
Beyond this were views of the
rooftops in the surrounding city.
Interesting to see the dish
antennas aimed straight up
since the satellites are in
geosynchronous orbits and we are almost on the equator.

MEDAN is the capital of
Indonesia’s North Sumatra province.
The huge Maimun Palace and
octagonal Great Mosque of Medan dominate the city center,
combining Islamic and European
styles.
Just north are Jalan Selat Panjang
street, famed for its ethnic food stalls,
and Tjong A Fie Mansion, a museum
in a former Chinese merchant’s home.
Southwest is the striking Indo-Moghul
Catholic church of Graha Maria Annai Velangkanni.
