(^68) Murudeshwar – Marawanthe – 57 km
Despite the fact that we explored numerous stunning beaches, we found
ourselves without any accommodation. Unintentionally, we stumbled upon a
charming lodging option right across the road from Marawanthe Beach. It felt
like a serendipitous moment. Unfortunately, our stay was marred by frequent
power outages, which hinted at a rather makeshift electrical system.
Nevertheless, the owner was super friendly and eager to ensure we were well-
fed. He generously offered to bring us a meal from a nearby restaurant. When
the food arrived, it was nothing short of delicious, adding a comforting touch to
our stay despite the inconveniences.
Marawanthe – Udupi - 57 km
Breakfast came 10 kilometres outside Marawanthe and consisted of Puri (curry
puffs). Although we encountered no hills, the traffic remained hectic, with
roadworks adding to the chaos, creating a nerve-wracking cycle.
Still, our arrival in the holy town of Udupi, famed for its Krishna Temple, was
reasonably early, leaving us with plenty of time to wander around these historic
temples, believed to have existed for over 1500 years. We were lucky enough to
catch a drama/musical and wondered if the shows were a daily occurrence.
