Luggage and bags:
Wondering what to wear? Take a look at this webcam of the Martinetoren, and see what the weather is like! This is a photo of the webcam from the 8th of April early in the morning. As you can see, another wonderful spring day! :-) To see the current conditions and the actual webcam go to this site :

But whatever you do, don't forget your camera! Groningen is a beautiful city and province and has a lot of photo opportunities!
The webcam is from RTV Noord, the radio and television broadcasting company of the northern part of the Netherlands. Take a look at their website http://www.rtvnoord.nl/ to read more about them and also find the news on the northern part of Holland (in Dutch). I hope they don't mind that I borrowed their webcam. But I just love how this webcam shows the Martinitower :-)
