Whether you are couchsurfing and can't meet your host hours after landing or, for some reasons, you just can't check-in your hotel right away, carrying your heavy luggage can prove to be quite a nightmare.
This happened to me quite a few times, most recently in Australia. The solution I found is to locate a museum close to my accommodation. Museums often have coat rooms or storage rooms where you can drop off your bag for the duration of your visit.
Even better if you can pick a location that is both convenient and interesting.In Sydney, the National Museum ended up being both. It had a very interesting exhibition on dinosaurs and was quite central as well. We went in the morning, dropped off our bags and visited the museum for a bit. Then, went out to sight see in the vicinity and returned to finish the visit and grab our bags.
There was a T-Rex skeleton on display with its shadow cast on the wall behind it. This said shadow animated every once in a while. I could have sat there all day to watch people scream in fright at this. Smart move from the museum.
