Is David staying here?

When I returned to the Flower Garden after a day of wandering around the neighboring beaches of Gokarna, one of the other Flower Garden guests was sitting at a table drawing in a sketch book, and he looked up when I came in. He said, in broken English, with a strong German accent, that someone came by earlier and asked "Is David staying here?" and described me as having a long white beard and long hair. I told him that I didn't think that anyone knew that I was here, but I was intrigued. He said that he could not recall any details of description. Later that evening, another guest added that the person who enquired about me said that he had met me several years ago, and that he thought that his strange English accent suggested that he might be British, and that the person was going down the beach, asking for me at each cafe/guest house. I did not meet up with this person before I left town, and I am left speculating who it may have been...yet another small world story...
