After my 2nd overnight bus in 2 days... 10 hours of being thrown around (guts in pieces) and a rather disorientating 3am arrival time... Gokarna and I didn´t get off to the best start.
A heavy negotiation between the rickshaw drivers and some Isreali backpackers who were going in the same direction ensued (...boy can those bargain!).
Half an hour later we found ourselves on the beach (a few better ruppes off mind) but with no where open to stay...
...pretty tired... we accepted a night under the stars.
Morning came and after locating a beach hut (...and a trip to the pharmacist) I awakened to the beauty in my surroundings... Om beach had a good hippy, tourist, Indian beach ratio and it was cheap as chips too (I speculated it may have been what Goa might of been like a couple of decades ago)...if that grated on you then you could also hike over to nearby Half Moon or Paradise Beach.
... Gokarna a nice mix of beach, atmosphere and exploration.
Turns out it was pretty Sweet
