Fort Kochi itself is a quaint island with beautiful colonial architecture. Despite the heat, we walked around the island and found ourselves mesmerized by its enormous trees. The beach is a grotesque contradiction: at first glance it appears a refreshing sight: families and young couples sit engaged in conversation as others walk along the pathway in a happy clamor. We indulged in fresh coconuts and pineapples and mangos sprinkled with salt and chilli. However, across the horizon the shipping industry makes no qualms about its ugly nature as gigantic container ships sail past along the shore and a \u201cNo Swimming, Danger\u201d signboard stands weathered by time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/amuddyroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Fort-Kochi-3.jpg\" width=\"900\"
