Day 123 - Airports and Flights

It was 01:00 New Zealand time but 23:00 local time when we left Melbourne Airport to Dubai. This was the 14 hour flight we both dreaded.

Staggie took his sleeping pill after a couple of hours and hoped for as much sleep as possible. Chino set his time to England time and tried staying up for as long as possible so that he could fall asleep when it was evening in England. He managed staying up around 7 hours.

Only a few hours were needed to wake up again and watch another couple of films, was a very long flight, we couldn't wait to get back in Dubai ready for our last flight to home!

We soon got to Dubai at 05:30 local time. This was about 15:30 in New Zealand, so with only a few hours sleep we were pretty shattered. We had just over two hours to wait before take off again, we caught a few zz's before boarding.

We took off at 8:20 local time. Chino took a sleeping pill and got as much sleep as possible. Staggie stayed up with the entertainment on-screen. Fortunately on this flight, it wasn't very packed at all, we had one space in between us that wasn't being used so Chino took full advantage and got comfy.
