    Canon SX100 is a direct competitor for sony H10 both in price as well as functionality. 110 must be new 1. Some benefits of sx100 over h10 is that, u can put NIMH batteries, spare batteries are cheap, memory cards are cheap, the auto focus, more intutive UI. The main reason i got H10 was the bigger 3 inch LCD. Which will good when my old man uses the cam. Plus h10 looks bettor

    Looks are definitely better for the H10. But LCD? Not anymore!! The SX110 is Canon's upgrade over SX100 and has got a 3" LCD. I am trying to source it from Canada in December. Can't wait.

      Thats great Sunil! tad too late for me...

      To continue...

      Get up next day with a huge headach! yeah a hangover. The place quite crowded, hot and cant even find simple food near by. Quite a contrast from cool beachside from the previous day. Pack and and leave towards gokarna by 11 am.


      This road carved out the mountain nearing karwar..


      the long bridge following


      some fishermen activites


      ships at karwar port



      After riding leisurely in the hot sun, we reach gokarna town by 1 pm. Now we thought what if there are no rooms at SeeBird resort? Badly needed a nice place to rest. Arun called up the resort and yes there is room. Jolly good that what we needed. Nice comfort after staying at crappy places.


      After freshening up and a sumptuous lunch we head out for the om beach two up and light. Then wanted to take a picture of me with the bike here cos..


      Had similar pic of me on my cbz 4 years back at the same place. Which in that case also was my first multiday trip on the new bike of around 5k on the odo!


      Arun really liked this bike parked at the om beach. Honda XR750.


      Om beach..


      Lost in the text


      Collorfull ppl on the rocks..


      sunset at om beach..


      more colours..


      A father and son making life time's memories


      the gold


      this is how u take a self potrait


      sun set pix



      Arun finds a spot on rocks where we could watch the day light fade...


      Fisherman doing his thing


      nice view point isnt it?


      evening sky..


      this pic is around 8 pm! a long exposure shot


      Long exposure shot of the om beach from where we were perched..
      the glow on top of the hill was actually a light from a vehicle moving.


      While walking back, this guy actually banged onto my leg mid flight!


      Got back to our room. We had to get home the next day. Since i did not want to have a hangover like a good buy i just stuck to a quarter of a rum

            It wasn't my fault at all. Hit me by the knee. It was the size of 4 inches. He got stunned and lay still for quite some time. Me and Arun took like 20 pix each before he got fedup and hopped away. here... Arun got a bettor shot of him...

                  Thanks Kri$hna. That place is too good year round.

                  Here is the last chunk of the trip...

                  We thought of getting up early and start home quick. But with just the plan of getting back home for the day, we got lazy. Didnt feel like leaving early. Arun wanted to sleep some more. So i went alone to check out a spot near kudle beach.

                  Empty road to om beach early in the morning...


                  quite some view..


                  Then i have to do some offroading..


                  I had gone without any riding gear thinking its near by and no big deal. But it was going on and on with lots of gravel and ended up being a tough offroad session with loose gravel on the stones.


                  Make it to the edge...



                  Could see kudle beach from there..


                  the ZMA-R taking over from CBZ*..


                  Panorama of the place. (the below image is a clickable thumbnail). Actually there were 2 more pix to the left to be merged but i accidentally deleted the left pic



                  looked interesting...


                  tricky gravel to get back..


                  Any way manage to get back to the resort in one piece. And should get on the move?
                  But with such luxury Y hurry ?


                  The SeeBird resort. (Clickable thumbnail again)


                  But we have get back so packed the stuff and the Steads are loaded. Its like 2.30 pm by the time we started!...


                  Arun's bike was running dry and had to search around for Engine oil on a sunday and a mechanic as well. Some how managed to change it and it was 3.30 by the time we actually got started to ride briskly.

                  After honnava Arun found a abandoned road so we went to check it out..


                  It was abandoned alright with those things lying on the road. Opened up to a lake..


                  The green waters of the lake seemed strange...


                  There were some shaedy activities going .... seems like somebody had skinned two lizzards there !


                  Found one of the heads nearby...


                  the discarded limbs!


                  the road ahead was strange as well...


                  Got back to the main road and the customary Sharavathy valley pic at the view point..


                  The bridge leading to job falls... With lot of crowd and no water, we ditched going in...


                  us there..


                  We could see Jog falls from there it self


                  From there on it was pretty continuous ride home. We wanted to cover all the bad stretches before stopping for food after Kaddur. Reached shivmoga by 7 PM and now its the dance on the bad roads for some time. I almost got bounced off once when i wanted to over take a car on the bad roads and got surprised by huge potholes. Finally made it through and stopped for food after Kadur. These Dhaba food are too good compared to the regular hotel stuff. It was max throttle ride from there and reached home by 1.11 pm..after a nice relaxed 1358 km trip.


                  Well that was it. Phew! i am done

                      Shivmoga to Jog has got wide smooth ghat road. After jog to honnavar the road is narrow and has odd pothole but generally ok.
