Today We're going to Sri Lanka, which looks like a teardrop.
After
lifting off from Chenai, the body of water ahead of us is the Bay of Bengal.
Here
we see the plane reaching the scattered islands at the north of Sri Lanka.
The water separating it from India is called the Palk Strait.
We
then travel on the west side of the island over the Gulf of Mannar, seen
at the right side above.
We
reach the airport, here's a German cargo plane on standby at the tarmac
at Colombo.
