pix from the next day...
Had a good nights sleep making up for the previous day. Got up early and went to check out the Magod falls on the other side of Yellapur.
Since we got up early hardly any one to visit the place but us..
Looks like beat all the tourists to check out the falls.
couple of macros we shot at the gate waiting for the tea.
This flower was less than a centimeter wide!
Top part of the falls
the other half
steps leading to another view point
The big picture...
both of us gazing at the falls..
couple of pictures around the falls
neat lil guest house..
monkey protecting its hard earned food!
Then we get back to the hotel. Have break fast. Get lazy on the moving and start as late at 12.30pm! We more towards dandeli
Dunno what happened but arun saw two of me 
Just after some distance of the cream road, Arun found a deviation which was going through some power plant settlement. The may cut short of route the beach but will take through the more interior route. When the forest guard stopped us, he himself did not know that this route led to Anshi town 
From here it was a trade off of letting go cream road for a rough one in exchange for great vistas.
At a view point, we can see heavens pouring afar
paddy field with the watch tower...
A ride through the forest
We again ended up with a fork with the both roads leading to anshi, one bettor road and the other worse but deeper into park. Guess what we chose ? 
Yes we picked the bad road one. It was in bad condition for some 40-50 kms. but atleast they were evenly uneven!. meaning no potholes. so we could ride at some momentum.
Then we ran across place of visit.. Cyntheri rocks it seems..
again some offroading to get there...
well this was it , not the magnitude at which it was sold!
atleast they gave some gyan
more ride into the forest...
then i was seeing things, saw two aruns!
Just when we started to curse the bad roads, we hit the main road and Twisties here we come...
As we neared karwar arun found a short cut to goa saving us few kms and precious few minutes. but still we doubted that we could make it to Palolem beach to catch the sunset.
We enter goa...
We were too late for palolem beach. At a fork on the goan NH, arun suggested we take the longer road of the NH for the beach we are late anyway and there will be less traffic.
But voila, at a turn there was a beach devoid of ppl with just a family playing around. It wasnt commercialised and dunno if it had a name. But who cares.. We are on a beach to catch the sun set
Arun gets on the the beach first...
The Black stallians are happy..
the unknown beach..
It was amazing after a whole days ride of bad roads and feeling of missing the sunset and found this beach all for us just at the right time. Just as i was exhaulting, i feel the rain drops playing the spoil sport. Then i scramble to put of electronic equipment in plastic and get my self into the rain suit. Arun was more optimistic and the rain let off.
We get to palolem beach and a bummer no room any where near the beach 
Should we go to gokarna arun asked. Man i cant am dead tired. Then he suggested finding a place in canakona and dump the things get back to the beach. Found a crappy place to stay and was a turn off. I always endup at bad places after hard riding!
Got ourself to the beach carrying just the valuables. Found a table with the beach view at the palolem resort.
Food, drinks and beach what else does one want? but too bad i had to drink alone :|. Me having alcohal after 16 months so 4 large vodaka for me please.
sure enough all the tiredness gone nothing beats being high on the beach
The follwing long exposure shots may seem strange but rmbr what i had me
found a jelly fish
a beach shack
this pic was at 11.30 pm 30 second exposure.
a very friendly dog who is more friendly with drunk guy !
I had told that dog that it was a 30 second exposure, but he mis heard as 10 and moved off in the middle
After some fun and frolic on the beach till 1.30 am. We get back to the crappy hotel ironically named as "canakona palace"! and crashed for the day...
Sorry for making this page very heavy.. To be continued...
