| Fishing boats in Galle Harbour |
Sri Lanka has become famous for the accessibility of its blue whales. During my recent brief visit this week, I was in a group taken out to sea by the Sri Lankan navy to look for these ocean giants.
Previously their boat, the Princess of Lanka, was used to move security personnel and now, post-war. she has been put to work in the service of taking people to the whales.
We set off for the deep sea from the port of Galle. Here are some views.
