PrambananTemple located 17 kilometers east of Yogyakarta, it is believed to have been built by King Balitung Maha Sambu in the middle of the ninth century. The temple, named after the village, is the biggest temple complex in Java. Locally known as the Loro Jonggrang Temple, or the Temple of the "Slender Virgin", it is the biggest and most beautiful Hindu temple in Indonesia. Its parapets are adorned with a bas-reliefs depicting the famous Ramayana story. Out of the remaining ones, three main temples are Brahma Temple in the north, Vishnu Temple in the south, and the biggest among the three which lies between Brahma and Vishnu temples is Shiva Temple (47 meters high).

From there we go to Solo to stay overnight at CaKra homestay, which LP has given a good recommendation to.
Waiting for the dinner time, a local staff at the hostel suggests us to visit the nearby community and the Batik shop, where my all Rupee and my “emergency” dollar gladly fly from my wallet . Seeing that we all heavily concentrate on Batik shopping, P. Somboon, the only man in our group, asks to wait for us at the book shop. (Can't stand our crazy shopping spree anymore)
