As we entered the village of Somita we looked for any sign posts to Bintang Bolon unbelievably it was signposted so we came of the main road to travel along a sand track. The road was in very good condition and not too sandy so no fear of getting stuck. We passed through a village with children running out of their compounds and shouting toubab at us. They even had street lights which consisted of a light bulb in a icecream tub and make shift lamppost.
