Sarchie Travels

So after almost 24 hours on planes and in Airports I finally made it to Scotland. We left around 9;30pm from Melbourne international, Flew 14hrs and arrived 6am in Dubai (Dubai time). Dubai airport is certainly an experience in itself. There was a lot of walking and a train ride just to get to our gate, but then there was a 10 to 15 minute bus ride from our gate to the actual airplane. Another 8hr flight before we landed at out destination, Glasgow Scotland. When we arrived  it was 1.30pm local time.
