Al final, decidimos darnos un lujazo y quedarnos en unas cabañitas con baño privado y todo, de lo más monas, en un hotel que era de lo mejor de la zona. Eso sí, tenían un establo con un par de vacas que llenaban de basura para alimentarlas... en fin, esto es India...
También nos dimos cuenta en la playa: los indios seguían pidiendo fotos y hasta accedieron a pagar las 50
rupias que Eva pedía. Aún asi, me encanta el entusiasmo de los chavales cuando van al mar y se bañan, para ellos es toda una fiesta (también es cierto que para muchos de ellos es la primera vez que ven el mar). Y las vacas... aquí teníamos a una amiga con cuernos azules que era la reina del lugar, y en algunas ocasiones la concentración de ellas por la noche era tal que no podíamos ni pasar al chiringuito!
En definitiva, resumiría Gokarna como un sitio muy muy tranquilo, para descansar y disfrutar de buena comida. Y las playas son maravillosas. Nuestro barquero favorito, Little Dolphin, nos llevó un día a Paradise Beach y descubrimos un rincón increíble para relajarnos (y hacer Reiki).
Y con ésto acaba mi ruta por la India (que no las aventuras y experiencias). A partir de aquí, ya me dirijo al norte rumbo a casa... pero no hay mejor forma de acabar el viaje que en una playa, no?

After a terrible bus journey (I will never got used to the bad roads and coffins) and stressing (we had to pay more than the agreed, DON'T travel with GANESH TRAVELS!), we arrived to Om beach quite early in the
morning. Andy decided to take a room and sleep and Eva and I went for a breakfast at the beach and check accomodation. We discovered also our favourite restaurant there, Freedom Café where we enjoyed our first
breakfast in Gokarna and lovely views.
At the end we decided to stay in a good resort, with nice bungalows with private bathroom. A little luxury to finish our trip. But in the way to the rooms there was a terrible stable with cows eating the hotel garbage... well, we couldn't forget that this is India!
At the beach indian boys asked as usual for a picture of us... even paying the 50 rupees that Eva asked for it! But I just loved the energy and happiness of these people in the sea, it's quite a party! (for most of them it is their first time at the sea). And the cows, of course... we had one in Om with blue horns, the boss, approaching so much! and also sometimes was very difficult to get into the bars because all the cows were in the entrance having a rest.
So Gokarna was for us a quiet place to have a rest and enjoy good life and food. And the beaches were just amazing. Our favourite boat man, Little Dolphin, took us to Paradise beach where we discover a wonderful
place to spend the day and relax (with some Reiki).
So with this my route in India finished (not the experiences)... now it's time to go North for my way back... but there is no better way to finish than here in the beach!
