Shiny New Brazilian, Daft Taxi

The new Embraer E-195 on its third in-service flight

A nice smooth flight - but why were we parked on the last but one stand (286)?

We landed at the Blue dot, Taxied the Magenta - past the terminal, past the engineering hangars, past the cargo hub, past the fire practice hulk, past the fuel depot - 20 metres further and we would have been hiding in the bushes beyond the perimeter fence, then in a bus (Green) to the terminal

and then on the outward flight taxied (slowly and late) all the way back (yellow)  for take off.  1 hour flying, 25 minutes messing about on the ground.
