Brief Answer:
1 hour by plane!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.

Going by plane would be better. I will highly recommend this. You should not take the long journey of 8hours.

I wish you a safe journey and an enjoyable stay. Keep me updated and feel free to request for more information and clarifications if need be.
