Gorkana, I arrived very early morning, it was a ghost town nothing open no tuk tuk: luckily i was not the only one that stepped of the bus to spend a few nights in this town: Guest rooms are minimum and not very nice, my stay at Nimmu Guest house had a unwelcome visitor in the night a big rat!! he too was looking for the best place in town...Needless to say i didnt stay too long and moved 5km out to Kudlee beach: Gorkana town is still accessible via a rocky dusty road. Gorkana town is charming and worth watching young and old men take up the tradition of rituals and bathing in the ghats: it is known spiritually for conducting blessing of families of those died and have passed to the other side.
Gorkana is great for buying colourful bed throws and block print skirts I've been sporting a long green number which is so practical and easy to where its a must item for women when travelling. also beads beads and beads.
Kudlee beach is a relaxed place with a great beach: its well known with long term hippies, whats fascinating is the walk down to the beach, there no real road just a rocky hill and you need to watch your step:, I've seen people carry amazing amounts on there heads and still manage to walk gracefully...its even more amazing and astonishing when you seen a not so young man carry a wardrobe on his head!! down this rocky road...i pray for him and admire his strength, i don't take picture as i don't want him to loose balance, its just amazing the strength and balance these men and women have. i definitely can learn a thing or tow as to what my head is used for!!.
Hopefully the comments page is now working!
