Day 1:
The long flight that is Melbourne to London
I have
finally arrived in London!!!! I left home at 5.45pm Melbourne time on Monday
11th May and arrived in London at my hotel at 3pm London time on Tuesday 12th
May (midnight Melbourne time). Door to door it was a total of 30 hours and I am
exhausted!
After
spending the last 17 months planning the trip and having the last 3 weeks at
home getting ready for my trip (and lazing around the house) I was excited that
the day was finally here. My parents drove me to the airport and after we said
our goodbyes it was time to walk through the International Departures gate
alone. Even though I am excited to be traveling by myself, being stuck waiting
for your plane at an airport by yourself is boring! Especially if you are like
me and hate shopping so looking at duty free wasn't an option to waste time.
