Groningen Tourist Traps

You might find our beer (GROLSCH ;-)) so very irresistable, but don't forget: it has to be paid for!Drinking it, you might forget the hangover that you'll have the next morning....but what the heck! the best way to get rid of your hangover is to take the same you drunk last night, so......

The may carnival has a ghost train...a ghost house. The two eldest wanted to go and when they came out after a rather short time they weren t crying or nothing!
So I think it isn t too scary....

Unique Suggestions: Enjoy the ride :-) haha

Fun Alternatives: Watch the figures outside...

If you buy a dog you have to pay money....its for the cleaning of the doodaahs they leave behind on the street....and maybe more, but i clean it always myself cause i think its very durty to leave it where the dog left it.
We have to pay about € 80 for a year...and it comes back every year. If you have a second dog you pay more and a third is even more expensive...
On this picture you see my sister Nicolette with Diesele just before take off.

Let's get this clear once and for all:

Cafe: a place to sip some coffee and chill
Coffeeshop: a place to sniff soft drugs

Unique Suggestions: So if you're a clean innocent shimmering soul like moi, stay away from coffeeshops, particularly if theyh ave a marijuana painted in neon lights on their enterance.

Fun Alternatives: Sniff some pot scented candles? hehe- I know I keep repeating this, but i totally burst laughing when I saw that in a store.. pot scented candle! hehe!!!

The terraces on the Grote Markt look nice, but are a bit of a tourist trap. Crap service, noisy etcetera.

The Menkemaborg is one of those typical Groningen fortified houses calle Borg. It has lovely gardens in dutch renaissance style.
