Yesterday a public transport strike in three cities was announced for the 28th. Which means that there will be no trains around those cities and there will be no public transport within the city. One of the cities is Amsterdam.

And for that date I got a ticket to see the No Such Thing As A Fish podcast in Amsterdam. And I'm not going to not go.

I had initially planned to work until 2pm that day and then leave for Amsterdam. Visit a couple of my favourite stores, have dinner and make my way to the theater. But that isn't an option now. My father offered to pick me up after the show, but he can't drop me off. So now I'm looking for a hotel walking distance from the theater, so I can go on Monday. Then on Tuesday I'll have to spend my time in the area (no public transport). Luckily, there's a small shopping center (with a market on Tuesday) and a big park. So I hope the weather will be good enough to spend my afternoon in the park.

I can understand why there's a strike (pensions), but this is very inconvenient.
