Change of plans... ??

Soo we were taking the buss huh? Nope.. we ended up taking the train (that we were told were going to leve at 2pm and then 3pm and then when we bought the ticket it turns out its sopposed to be there at 0305pm but turns upp 20 min later.. hahah.. Wonderful..

Last time on an indian train we travled in sleepers class with specified seats.. this time we traveled unspecified.. Adventure!!

the journey lasted for 2 hours and kost us 16 ruppes. so about the price of 3 chewinggums. For the tremendous amount of money we paid we got quite alot of things>
A lot of fresh air (no glass windows or closed doors on this train...
A lot of practce in the staring game (Some Indians are unbeatable.. do they blink?)..
Frech dates from a date farmer that were very friendly and complemented my positiv aura (Big muslim gentleman with the classic BIG beard)..
I got the traditional hanging-as-far-out-from-the-train-as-possible kick!! (A MUST DO)..
we also got the joy of not really knowing when to get of and then troing our self off we it was time to do so..

I also had a train sandwich, I did however pay 10rupees for it (Dobble whitebread sandwich with mixed vegetables and spices.. NICE!)

we then took a buss from the station towards gokarna tho the trainstation in about 20km from Gokarna town..

You can really tell this province, karnateka, isn't as rich as Goa.. BIG difference..
The English charter crowd in goa is glowing with its non precence on the Gokarna buss, instead we have ol' skottish hippy guy Tommy with bad teeth and some other nice but somewat lost old hippie like turists or life lovers.. The rest of the people on the buss were consistent of backpackers, Indians, ISRAELIS and uss..

The buss was probably from the end of the fifties and had been pached so much that it was more paching than buss. our luggage went on the roof and we in the buss. When we stept on board it was already overloaded but we got in (and so did 5 more backpackers and some indians we picked up along the way...


all to the price of 25 rupees.. =)

The beaches near gokarna in not really that close to the town. We went to Ohm from gokarna buss station (big dirt field with a 'station' building in the middle)and it cost us one hundred rupees..

We meet two israeli girls that had walked the entire way from the buss station.. They went to bed VERY early.. I really wanted to walk but we never did tho the sun was about to set..

SOOO.. Well Ohm is beautiful and relaxed.. have spent two nights around the fire.. VERY NICE!! HAPPY TIMES!!

We sleep in separate huts for 150rupees a night with shared bucket shower and concreate bed with a small matress on it.. Lovely fealing though..

DOGS.. HERRE MINA HASTAR (Lord my horses).. COWS..

In the middle of our loud jamsession yesterday we had an inner cirkel of dogs sleeping around the fire. every now and then there would be a dog from an outsider pack passing by creating a barking groove in our jam.. lovely sound, Digerido, mouth harp, harmonica, gitarr and Jimbe (african drum) with a pinch of dog barks and Song .. I'll tell you guys when we release the CD...

The cows and the dogs sometimes plays with each other resulting in a bearseaking cow running down the beach with a big pack of dogs close behind..

I made a nice neclase yesterday. I bought two short ones and used the beads to make a long one.. Beautiful!! I'm cind of bad at bartering tho.. When I want something I say "Ok Sir, Give me good price" This is what Husstelers (salespeople) say when they try to sell something to you.. If I then get a resonable price I'll just pay it and not barter (Told this to the neclase salesman and he wanted 100 rupees (they usually say 500) so I just gave it to him) I could have probably gotten it for a 70 rupees but 30 rupees to him is two days food for his family and he is probably not selling too good considering everybody here is cheep hippies or indians with little money.. It's just half a coke I'm bartering about anyway..

SO now we are heading down to paradise beach!! heard you can sleep in a hammock for 5 rps a night!!

Leave a comment if ther is anything you wanna say or ask!!

Loads of love
