The infamous sleeper bus to Gokarna

We travelled to Gokarna on the sleeper bus with the lovely Zoe & Kate we met in Hampi. The plan, as we thought, was that the coach would take us direct into Gokarna. The bus driver however had other plans......so at about 1am in the morning we were kicked off the bus and transported to a 15...

Dolphins

Today is sadly our last day in Gokarna but we’re excited about our next stop in Goa where we will be staying with our new friends Del and Becks… What made it a perfect last day is during a lovely sunset once again we saw dolphins swimming in the sea very close to shore, closer than where we...

Another fishy

Had a lovely day today swimming for most of it. Then in the evening had a few drinks in the evening with friends to celebrate Chris catching another fish!

Gokarna town

Today we took a rickshaw into town for a change of scenery from the beach. However, we didn’t stay long as we soon missed it and it was blisteringly hot away from the sea breeze so soon came home!

A nice stroll on the beach...

We had a great day today just lounging around reading books, going on a lovely long walk along the beach until sunset and going for occasional swims... Chris also got his hair cut and had a cut-throat shave followed by an Inidan head massage!

A mission of a walk !!

This morning we took a walk to Paradise Beach about 1 ½ hours away. My God it was a right mission. It was a lot further than we thought it would be; having to clamber over rocks and doing some serious trekking. We were pretty proud of ourselves for actually...

Getting eaten by stinging things...

After being pretty exhausted from the travelling the day before, we spent the majority of the day on the beach and swimming in the sea. We all set ourselves the challenge to swim right out to a rock we could see from the sand. We did actually get pretty far out,...

A Joke of a journey !!

After being told before getting onto the bus that we were due to arrive in Gokarna at around Sunrise, we were blissfully unaware when we were woken from sleep by the conductor repeatedly shouting ‘Gokarna, Gokarna’ at 2:30am! We were then ushered onto a smaller and seriously crammed in bus to...

We're in Paradise. Literally

We took a train up to Gokarn, and arrived safely after a day's travel. After battling touts who wanted to charge us 400 rupees to get to the beach, we landed in the sand with our heavy backpacks, and set out to find a place to stay. Backpacking on a beach in barefeet... in the dark. Only in...
