The Suite Life around Gokarna, Karnataka, India

That’s my place on Om Beach. It’s the hut beyond the mud wall of the building on the right of the picture. You don’t need much in the way of shelter here. There’s even a bedroll and light inside.

I was going to do something today. All I did was read and socialize. Tomorrow I’m going to Gokarna with a couple of friends. I need to go get some money and another book. They want to shop a little and talk to a travel shop about the best way to get to where they are going. Maybe I’ll do that too. I think I’m good for a few more days of this. I’m getting a  little stir crazy. But, oh, it wouldn’t be that hard to just hang out.

I’m starting to get an idea what i want to do. I’m going to  go to the hill country and do forests and tea plantations for a while. Then I’ll go to Mysore, where there are many interesting things. Then I think I’ll go to Kerala. It’s popular to go on cruises in the backwaters. I wonder how that wil be for me? I’ve cruised some pretty far back backwaters. After that, let’s see, it’ll be about mid-January. I’ll probably go around Tamil Nadu. I was talking to a couple of divers here who have been to the Andaman Islands. They say it’s as good as Sharm al Sheikh. That did it. I’m going. The water’s supposed to be perfectly clear in February. Then I think it’ll be a quick swing up the Ganges Plain via Varanasi, a stop in Agra for the Taj Mahal, and it’ll be time to go home.

But then again, maybe I’ll change my mind.

I don’t have any profound thoughts. I just thought I’d write something. Talk to you later….
