Walter and I made our way from Agonda to Gokharna, Karnataka. While in Gokharna, I was fortunate to meet a friend of Walter's, Klaus, who in turn introduced me to a long-time friend of his, Paul. Paul has been living and travelling in India for many years, and is, without question, following the Sadhu life. He is a man of knowledge and depth, great and infectious humour, and knows the words to more old songs than anyone I know. It was a real privilege, and a lot of fun, to meet him.
So...off to Kudle Beach, near Gokharna....

Unfortunately, like every Indian beach I've visited in the last few years, the beauty has a real dark side.
A beach for everyone.
