Feb 9 Kudle Beach, Gokarna

Kudle Beach
Today I ran into Ali from Iran that I met in Hampi.  He's only staying a couple of days.  We chatted awhile and after, Niki and I walked toward town with our empty water bottles.  It seems there is a temple on top of the hill with a fresh water spring that comes out of a pipe and we filled all our bottles with fresh water.

Gokarna is a small town on the other side of the hill from Kudle Beach with a proper beach of its own.  We had a great time shopping and I bought 24 glass bangles, a long sleeve Ganesh t-shirt for my return to cold weather, and a hammock.  The hammocks here are made of what looks like heavy parachute material in 2 colors with a rope run through each end...and they are awesome!  Of course, I tied it wrong, got in it, and promptly fell on my backside from about 3' up.  The good news was that I fell on the dirt and not the tile porch!  Ouch!!!
