Twenty two weary travellers were very pleased to see Sydney airport six hours after expected arrival time. With a quicker flight time of just over 12 hours from Dubai due to jet streams, our luck disappeared 30 minutes before reaching Sydney when the pilot was informed that Sydney airport was closed due to heavy fog. We were diverted to Brisbane because the plane needed to refuel, but on arrival there a hour later, the A380 spot was occupied by a Qantas jet which also needed to refuel. So 2 hours later we left Brisbane airport to arrive in Sydney around 11.40am. At least a volcano didn't erupt like in the last art tour! Thankyou to the very patient parents, friends and family members who waited out the 6 hour diversion to greet our tired and sleep deprived group!
We return highly valuing the amazing experience and knowledge we have all gained on the Italy/Dubai art tour. Even when weary on the last hours of our journey, we were still excitedly talking about the adventures we have had.
Viva Italia!!
miss it already :(
