Not going to unwrap until I'm home, but it would appear the bottle survived its arduous journey 😍

Who brought their friggin bicycle? And why isn't this on Oversized?

Welcome to another game of "Did they break it?" In the white corner, wearing 3 plastic baggies, bubble wrap, two t-shirts and a pile of gaffer tape, we have the defender: a bottle of wine liqueur. And in the red corner, our undefeated champion: The Paris CDG baggage handlers!

The info desk: We booked you a hotel. It's too late for dinner so we're not giving you that, but here's an €11 voucher for airport food. The hotel: Restaurant's still open, but not not included in the voucher so you'd have to pay it yourself. 🥴 WHY IS THIS HARD?!?

And then, booked me a room at the Camparnille, and sent me to the shuttle bus. Only problem is, there are *2* camparnille hotels, and the shuttle to each departs from the same spot. 🥴

Paris CDG: Where dreams come to DIE
The Paris CDG arriving terminal: a dead block of concrete.
Hallway at Paris CDG. The walls adorned with ads for Paris CDG because nobody would want to advertise in these boring hallways. No signpost, no nothing.
View of the adjacent space (likely customs) via perforated metal fence. Makes you feel like a wild animal in a zoo.
Another hallway with the ambiance of an abbatoir...

Welp, we're boarded again after a much-deserved €11 refreshments voucher 🤑 Totally missed the announcement we were leaving, but legged it when I saw people boarding 'my' plane.

We're getting back on the plane, but I'm fairly sure onward travel is thoroughly fucked.

Not sure if we're waiting for "thoughts and prayers" to yield results, or if someone swiftly placed an AliExpress order for a special part, but didn't realise they opted for free shipping, meaning it'll arrive in 2 months.

I fully understand they can't just magic up a new plane, but you'd expect that by now a small army of befuddled engineers would be circling this plane, scratching their heads. So far I've seen them fiddle with the luggage hold and at one point a ladder briefly emerged.

Like, "The nearest mechanic that knows how to fix this had the weekend off, decided to party hard in Zagreb and ended up getting arrested for urinating in a public fountain. We're talking to Croatian authorities to get him released, but they say he's still sleeping it off."

We're being told every 15 minutes that there is a delay due to an technical issue with the engine, and there will be more information in 15 minutes. After 3 of those with zero actual information you really start to wonder what's so hard about this?

It started with this. Get home late. Sucks but whatever. Now on top of this the plane to take us to CDG had an engine issue prior to take-off and thus returned to the terminal. We're awaiting repairs before setting off again.

The minimum requirements are going to be, at least 8gb of ram, ability to run a windows VM that you have local admin on, ability to connect to wireless or alternatively ethernet, we'll be supplying the access point and a switch.
