Back again to the Jawa island trip of 1-14 May.
Saturday, 5th May we were at the Central Jawa town of Pekalongan.
Pekalongan is declared as the town of batik, a type of cloth design and textile famous in South-East Asia.
It is said to be the centre of batik production for Indonesia.
So we were going to sample some in the streets and alleys.
I understand there are production mills around but we'd rather just see the shops within walking distance...
There are small ones likes this.
And there are also those that look upmarket...
What is sure you can find enough variety to fit myriad tastes.
The prices are also attractive, much cheaper than what I could see in Malaysia.
