Quest for the lost bike

Today I got up early thinking we need to undertake some action. The train people had promissed us to give us a call when the bike would be here. But so far no news, I think we could wait another month here. So we packed our small backpack and headed out for the Yaroslavskii vogzal.

Like always we use the metro to get somewhere when it is a bit further. In our case it was around 9am. It was interesting to see how many people are on the subway at this time. Commuting like this every day does not seem like the easiest thing.

We got to the vokzal or train station and went looking for the bagage service. It was not so easy as in Irkutsk or Krasnoyarsk this time as the station is big and people are less friendly I find here. After half an hour asking about and walking around, we finally got to the bagage service and to the desk we needed to be. We asked the kind lady behind the desk and showed us our form we got when shipping the bike. But she shook her head. They did not know about the wagon where it could be on. Then another guy came in and suggested it would be in another station closeby named kazinsky vokzal. Another person said it would be still in Krasnoyark.

We were not sure, so we called the Krasnoyarsk station. There they told us, it should be in the Yaroslavskii vokzal for sure. After Larisa and the girl calling around for an hour or so, there was news. The company Logistika we used had used another company to do the transport. So we called this other company. They said us that the wagon indeed was here but could not be opened here as the wagon is sealed and to be opened only by this company. The goods would be ready however, only from tomorrow at this other company. Nice, but this other company is quite some distance from our stay, near the MKAT ring. The bike should pop up there tomorrow.

It was not too good for our stress levels, but what can we do… We will call the other company tomorrow and check if they have found our goods…
