 The fifth leg of my journey takes me from Southern Turkey to the Island of Cyprrus, a famous holiday destination in Mediterrana. 

This leg also brought a change, I traded the Duke for a A36 Bonanza. One of the main reasons was the fact that, due to the two big engines mounted on the Dukes wings, I could not see much of the scenery, and the other reason was the better avionics in the A36.

The flight begun early  in the morning and went smoothly, even though I still have to get used with some of the features in the new aircraft.

After departing from Adana, I flew to the south over Mediterrana for almost 30 minutes then past the northen Kyrenia mountains of Cyprus, over Larnaca and then finally to Paphos, in the western part of the island. Before Paphos we had a nice approach over the Troodos mountains.
