Kochi views

Chinese fishing nets from Vypin. Popularly known as 'Cheena vala' is the icon of Kochi. It is believed that this type of fishing was introduced by Chinese traders, thus got the name 'Chinese fishing nets'.
Last Sunday we went to Vypin just for an outing. We visited the beach where the Vembanad lake and Arabian sea meets. Scenic beauty was enough to attract people but the beach was not clean and mosquito density compelled us to walk away from that beautiful place. We can walk through the walkway and from their we can see the ships coming from the outer sea and we can also see the port trust, fort kochi and marine drive. It was a nice evening through the Goshree bridges. In one side excellant view of trendy kochi on another side hectic infrastructure development of Vallarpadam transhipment terminal.

We also visited Pizza Hut. It was my first experience with a pizza. Frankly I didn't like the taste. But the restaurant was full even kids were busy with the pizzas, garlic bread, masala soda etc.
