Day 1 - Copenhagen, Denmark, Oops it Happened Again

Joan's View

3 Schroeder generations for the airport delivery

Our trip started with this wonderful Indianapolis Schroeder Uber service. Air Canada flights all on time through Toronto and to Copenhagen. However, Tony started watching the bags after leaving Toronto and, oops, it happened again. We have a bike bag still in Toronto! 😤 Here we go again, folks!

We started a lost baggage case in the airport. After getting a little help from the guy at the Metro ticket kiosks, we lugged the heavy, bulky bags that we had on the Metro through elevators, and a few escalators even. Our 2 checked bags that made it from Toronto weigh the maximum allowed, and each of our carryons contain the heavy lithium batteries since they are not allowed in a plane cargo hold. On top of that we have our personal items, and mine is at maximum capacity. 😁

Metro Tony

After getting to our planned last Metro stop, we realized that the route that was supposed to be 600 meters to get to the airbnb, was actually, 1.5 miles. After asking AI, we decided to get back on the Metro via more elevators and escalators to find a closer stop. A nice Danish guy saw us contemplating the map since there are several tracks in Copenhagen. He gave us some helpful directions, and off we went this time ending up much closer to our Airbnb. It was still a tiring walk with several rest stops and a water break for me. Wade, the workout machine, will be proud of all the strength his Mama gained today carrying and hauling. 😁

Since Tony is the only one with international service again, we waited to call Air Canada about the bags until we got to the Airbnb. They actually called back even if it was while we eating at Cafe Svejk. Looks like Tony will be heading back to the airport tomorrow to get the bag if it makes the flight tonight. Per the customer rep, baggage delivery is unpredictable here in Copenhagen too. Tony got his first Danish big beer at Cafe Svejk though. 🍻

We decided to go to Mass tonight since tomorrow is a toss up with the bag situation. The Mass that worked for us was an Italian Mass (great music) about a 3.5 mile walk. We got to see a little of Copenhagen too. You can see from outside of the church that we are in a bicycle loving country.

Tony's Extras

Well, Puthoff got his wish. He said I hope Tony's Luggage gets lost again to everyone at Choice One.It makes the blog more interesting. 😡 Unbelievable, It is me checking if the luggage gets on the plane at 3:00am here and if we are lucky, I get to go back to the airport tomorrow and pick it up. If it doesn't show up tomorrow, things really start getting interesting and complicated. Hopefully we will have good news tomorrow.
