Visiting Okha
Leave Okha at 4.40. At 4.42 we are in bet dwarka. THere is a board "Okha nagarpalika sabhi yatriyo ka hardik swagat karti hai." Soon we come across Assistant garrison engineer (navy) okha military engineering services. This is followed by temporary settlements with chakda, the main mode of transport parked nearby followed by permanent settlements. Flags flutter for half a km followed by a sea view. There is a Naval Park Officers Mess. There is barren piece of land after naval park. There is GIDC board followed by a series of shops, establishments and houses. There is Krishna paan ghar. We reach Mithapur at 4.55 pm.

THere is Balaji paani puri centre cart, jodiyar masala dosa cart, azad paani puri centre cart. Nearby is a small goddess temple. From here nageswar temple is shown to be 12kms away with a road going inside. At 5.05 we reach Tata Chemical Ltd. There is a bust of jamshedji tata. TATA Leadership with Trust is etched on a wall. At 5.10 we come across a railway crossing. We go past Mojap at 5.20, Varvala at 5.26, Rukmani at 5.30 and reach Dwarka at 5.32.
THe tea from Shiv hotel made by Kadabhai is great and so is the tea made by Baluba. Both these tea centres are in Okha. As for eating joint in Dwarka, Annapoorna Bhojanalaya run by Prakashbhai has an appeal of its own. The tea made by Javed in Somnath, the tea from Mukta ben tea centre in Somnath were equally strong.
