  10. Richie, I am reaching Kudla tommorrow evening with entourage in tow and probably camp at Bondel (Kankanady biouvac presently experiencing malaria) and drive down to Amchi Goem on Tuesday morn crossing even more banks ;-) And crossing quite a few places ending with -eshwar, including Murudeshwar ;-)

    Though as a pingponger, I will not be topping up on Feni, I shall be topping up on kokum.
