After Fort Cochin, we planned to head to Goa and soak up some rays and enjoy beach life there. However, we'd heard so much from other travellers about a little place called Gokarna just south of Goa, so when we saw that we'd reached Gokarna Road station we made a mad grab for our bags and jumped off! And then we got stuck here longer than planned and have now decided to skip Goa altogether. What more could you ask for than clean empty beaches (not a sunbed or parasol in sight), a room with a direct view of the sea which costs 4 pounds a night, and good cheap food?! The sea is wonderful for splashing around in the waves and swimming, and there is a real community atmosphere about the place (possibly as it's so small and also sharing squat toilets and bucket 'showers' is guaranteed to bring you closer together!)
Unfortunately we leave tomorrow, although our next destination, Hampi, has been equally raved about by fellow travellers. Whatever it's like, I'll definitely miss the beach life and I wish I had more time to soak up the rays!
