Like farmers burning rubber tires on the entry roads of the airport and such. Because, apparently in France, when people go on strike, EVERYBODY has to suffer. So, as I always had to rent a car to get to Grenoble anyway, I changed my flights to Geneva. The Swiss never strike, so all went smooth. And the distance between Geneva and Grenoble is hardly longer than that between Lyon and Grenoble. Hans-from-Curaçaonoreply@blogger.com
