When living in a houseboat ...

... you never know what's on your doorstep. Sometimes the heron comes by and cracks his "ancient laughter" and other days we see the big black birds (don't know what they are called?) swallowing large whole perch. Or there is simply a large work boat outside the entrance. You never know what to expect!

Camping wine

This week, Peter found a red wine that he thought would be suitable for us (or at least for him, as I don't drink red wine because of my migraine). The wine is called "Camp" and comes from Chile. Quite ok, although it may not be one of the favourites. A little fun anyway!

Christmas decorations in the neighbourhood

Many of the houseboats around us have been decorated with fairy lights. However, our favourite decorations have been seen at Huvudsta farm in Solna. Charming, isn't it?

Christmas gift from the Czech Republic

Just before Christmas, we received a package from the Czech Tourist Board, with whom we have a very good co-operation. What a lovely package of delicacies! It was not easy to understand the contents of the different jars, as it is only written in Czech, but we think they contain oil, tinned fish (of some kind), almond cream and apricot jam. In addition, the package contained chocolate, a nice Christmas bauble and a restaurant guide to the Czech Republic. Prague. Cosy!

Sun at last

Such a long time with grey weather and darkness. How fantastic it was to wake up on Christmas Eve and see the sun's rays coming through. We (like many others!) went on a Christmas Eve walk. Outside Karlberg Castle, many people had sat down to enjoy the sun.

Even on the way back from the city, the light was beautiful. So nice when the houses are reflected in Karlbergssjön and Karlbergskanalen!

Luxury 3-course dinners

This Christmas, we have decided to ignore the traditional Christmas dinner and experimenting with different 3-course dinners, especially focusing on seafood. We have spent a lot of time looking for ingredients in different shops, and now we spend a lot of time in the kitchen. Fun and exciting! And of course, we will soon report on our experiences!

Best this week

The best thing this week is that we have decided to cook extra luxurious food, making Christmas a fun project. It will also be fun to meet Peter's two sons! What has been the best part of your week?

The week ahead

In the coming week there will probably be a lot about food here at FREEDOMtravel (think lobster and mussels). We will also present a fun post in collaboration with the German Tourist Board. The post is about places in Germany that are reminiscent of completely different locations. Don't miss it!
