Wah! kya teaser and pictures hai. Beta was the climate hot or scenery.Dhondu beta has your GF seen the travelogue. Looks like you had a roll and has so much to shoot with your camera.

Re: Go.. Go... Go.. Gokarna [NSFW]

Ha ha ha... Dada, I showed her the pics. Well, not all of them.

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

Ok, now moving ahead after the break.

I naturally felt good after the coffee outing with Claudia. (no, we didn't do anything after sipping coffee. )
It was about to get dark and my hotel was in Kumta, some 33 kms away. But, I still managed to catch a few more glimpses of the sea and the beach overall.

People enjoying a boat ride. Maybe they were also returning from Paradise beach.



Blue waters. Seems so not in India.



Sun setting down. Time - 5 PM



Shore line, as seen by the eyes.



Anchored back into place. Also, the rays glittered like silver.



A couple. Probably humming to the tunes of "Hum bane tum bane ek duje k liye"



This guy was carrying their bags and still trying to convince them to buy some stones. Needless to say, they were priced very high. I asked him the price earlier in the day, he quoted 2k for some stone!



Looked like Martian soil. Curiosity, do you hear me?



Hmmm.



Sunset. What a majestic view it was!



15 min later.



After having clicked till the camera started beeping for low battery, I started back for my hotel. Took me 40 odd min to reach back.
Parked my bike and head towards the restaurant for an early dinner.





With lots of memories for the day, I hoped for a good night's sleep.

Last leg of the log will be up shortly.

Re: Go.. Go... Go.. Gokarna [NSFW]

Damn. you are making me jealous.. the water is blue there eh? are you sure? if you are, then I guess me and my friends might come there just confirm it once plssss

Are these girls Indians..??

Re: Go.. Go... Go.. Gokarna [NSFW]

Bhai, this is better than Goa man... uffff !! You should have told me about these visuals earlier. *no second thoughts*
BTW, nice photo-work there, waiting for last leg.

Re: Go.. Go... Go.. Gokarna [NSFW]

Yes, you pervert!

The water is blue-ish (more blue as you go deeper) and yes, they are Indian girls. Aren't you getting married soon? Concentrate!

Re: Go.. Go... Go.. Gokarna [NSFW]

We saw a geared up biker on the sail boat, err ZMR.. with a JH registration and I vaguely remember reading about you having some JH connection. So we joked amongst ourselves that it must be Divya Sharan..

When at the chai stop you din't look remotely familiar (partly to blame the fact that we haven't met earlier) we decided not to bother you. But as we left when I saw the BB sticker on your bike, I HAD to find out who you were

Sad to hear about the crash, but heck you met Laila

Re: Go.. Go... Go.. Gokarna [NSFW]

Yes, when you introduced yourself, I immediately recalled seeing so many pics of yours and felt bad for not recognizing you at once. BTW, has DJ shed weight? His DP and his physical appearance kinda look different.

--------------------

Woah, I had some deep sleep after a long time. I remember turning off my phone when the alarm rang at 3:30 AM. The idea was to visit the beach again at sunrise, which I did, a bit late though. Blame the Sunday traffic for it. He he.

Anyways, I got up by 5 and completed the usual nitty gritty of stuff. A hot water bath was needed and the hotel did not disappoint. Checked out of the hotel by 5:45 and headed to the beach directly.

Took over an hour to reach there. Lot of buses on the way, you see!

Beach in the morning.







Spent close to an hour there enjoying the cool breeze. By 8 AM, I decided to head back.



This is how the place looked like.



My shadow. My 2nd pic, physically/technically, but not visibly.



While ascending Kumta-Sirsi ghats.



Saw people gather around this temple.



Later, I came to know that tey didn't stop at the temple, rather at this view point.



Back to Sirsi.



GPS baba worked like a charm.



Also, my baby got 40k kms old halfway into the return journey. Yippie!



Near Ranebennur. Looked like a perfect movie style village settlement.



It was 2 PM already and I was hungry. Lunch @ Chitradurga.



Reached Tumkur in 1 and a half hours. Came to know that XBHP Flickr ride was over sometime back, else I would have attempted meeting friends there too.
Time to reach home.


Nelamangala highway approaching soon. I zoomed all the way to BLR and I was on my bed by 4:30 PM.

That's it guys! Hope you all liked it.

Thanks for reading.

Re: Go.. Go... Go.. Gokarna [NSFW]

Splendid pictures i must say! This time of the year, last year i was at this very place and nothing has changed a bit! As [MENTION=48174]chaosaddict[/MENTION] said in his post that this looks better than Goa, yes i would definately agree to that. Till OM beach, it is commercial, but the more you explore the beaches past that, i.e. Half Moon and Paradise beach, the more you feel secluded and peaceful. I wish you could have stayed on Half Moon beach overnight, it is a completely magical experience

Re: Go.. Go... Go.. Gokarna [NSFW]

Thanks bhai. Though I did visit other beaches, I couldn't stay there due to peak season. They were overbooked already. Maybe next time. This place deserves one more time!

Re: Go.. Go... Go.. Gokarna [NSFW]

Nice ride and pics there DS! So glad that you came out of the fall with minor bruises.

Take Care & Ride Safe
