day1 cntd

Scratched my foor peg, shoe and the rear crash gaurd a few mm away from the ground... and woke up at the right time....
This gave us immense confidence... now we understand why ppl were gazing at us round the corners... we both didnt knew that we were doing it soo well..





contd...
After all the cornerings, there said the board - "Ghat road ends".. from there on there was mixed strentch of single lane and 2 lane roads.. that to fight with the bus guys for little space... and then reached Honavara byy 4:30... we where well ahead of schedule




Then we rode north on NH17 towards Karwar.. The roads were good for some 10 km.. then it started full of pot holes.. then we cold see only stones everywhere.. The sun too was setting.. we didnt wanna miss the sunset.. so took a left towards gokarana... and reached there by 5:30
Guess its the konkan Railways






Then tried to check the availability of rooms.. found that many rooms were still available to decided to view the sunset at om beach and return back.. The path was hilly good and narrow roads... then we stoped at the highest point posible and enjoyed the sunset...



Tried something.. was excellent but at the last moment I brought my hands a bit down...


Then parked the bikes in a guest house(namaste) and then walked down to beach.. tried to get some beach side rooms but all were full.. sat for a while onthe rocks made calls to home...
didnt feel like getting into the sea.. as it was very calm with no waves... around 7:30 came from the shore to shore cafe.. had some water and juice... went back to gokarna and checked in.. The climate there was too humid that we went for AC rooms.,, sat for some time.. then walked down the street had some chappathi with chicken curry...
then came back and dived into the beds...
