Now, it is time for Kochi…
Kochi is one of the most beautiful Indian cities I have seen. Especially when oversized and overpopulated places like Delhi are not your favorites. The region of Kerala and Kochi itself can be a great alternative to the North of India. The coast gives humidity, and temperatures here are lower than in Delhi.
To Kerala sailed and here died Vasco da Gama, and along with him Poznańer – Gaspar da Gama, who next to such Poznańers as Paweł Edmund Strzelecki and Kazimierz Nowak, has extraordinary biography of a discoverer. Some people believe that he also died in Kerala. In Kochi, in the church of St. Francis, nota bene, the oldest in India, was the tomb of Vasco da Gama – was, because his body was moved to Portugal few years after his death. Kochi is also famous for the oldest in India synagogue - it used to be a vivid center of Indian Judaism. The Chinese fishnets are very interesting piece of landscape here - the net is attached to a high pole and operated with the force of four or five men. This method survived untouched for hundreds of years, and until now feeds people of Kerala as well as coming to her tourists.
