Textile tour in Indonesia May 2012. Our best holiday ever was on board a small boat cruising around the islands of Indonesia. We have been contacted by the boat’s owner, Dick Bergsma, who is a Dutch ex-pat living in Bali to alert us to a special cruise he is running as he knows our passion for textiles. We are unable to go having already committed to another trip on the boat in November but thought other textile enthusiasts might like to hear about it. One of the highlights will be a visit to Lamalera on Lembata which was studied in depth by Ruth Barnes and is very difficult to get to other than by private boat. Although the emphasis is on textiles there are other cultural aspects plus the Komodo dragons to keep non-textile mad partners happy.

Hi Sue- Welcome to the Forum and many thanks for this information. I've always wanted to do one of the boat tours of the islands and this sounds like a really good one.

This reminded me of a recent email I received from Threads of Life, in Bali, about textile tours they are offering. Here's the link to their newsletter with descriptions of the tours:
