1st MArch: We got a 12 hour train to Kumta arriving at 4am and from there got a taxi to Gokarna beach. we had to walk along the beach as there is no road at about 5am waking up guest houses looking for somwhere to stay. We eventually got a place at about 7am, a bit tiring but great to watch the sun rise! We spent 4 days here at OM beach, there was literally nothing to do but read and sunbath, so thats all we did.....bliss........
