<\/a>Op Schiphol\/ at the airport<\/p><\/div>\n
We had left Rome an hour late, so we only had little time in Buenos Aires. We had to claim our luggage there and re-check it. But, because we arrived so late and we had to wait in line for customs for about 45 minutes, it was impossible to catch our flight. And then the whole thing with the missing bike happened which made it take even more time. When we collected the other luggage, we went to the departure hall for our flight to Ushuaia. We missed it, so they put us on the next flight. But we still had little time to catch that flight. We quickly checked in and left our luggage to be put on the plane. But then there was the other bike. It was still in it\u2019s box, but the box didn\u2019t fit in the scanner. So we had to take the bike out, push it through the scanner, put it back in the box and tape it shut again. Then quickly to the gate and cought our flight. Everything fine, so we thought\u2026
\nBut when we arrived in Ushuaia, we discovered that the only luggage that had come with us on our flight, was the 1 bike! Nothing else; 3 bags gone\u2026 Again to a counter of the airline to claim the missing pieces of luggage. The lady couldn\u2019t see where our bags were at that moment, but they surely would be on one of the following flights. Luggage would be brought to our hotel.
\nSo we couldn\u2019t ride our bikes from the airport to the hotel. Instead, the one bike went in the back of a cab and that\u2019s how we went to our hotel.<\/p>\n
So, we didn\u2019t have anything of our gear, only the things we carried in our carry-on luggage. When we came back to the hotel after dinner, fortunately the bags were waiting for us in the lobby. But not the bike! The guy at the reception called a friend of his who works at the airport, but there was no bike there. He advised us to go back to the airport the next day and try to sort things out.\n\t\t
