What wonderful days we have had - and are having - in beautiful Cyprus. Coming here in November is fantastic, and it feels luxurious to experience this mild climate. Our week started with snow and then came sun and warmth ...

Winter in Stockholm
Our week began in a very wintry Stockholm. The snow can be annoying in some ways, but it is also nice when it becomes white and bright.
Even in the marina, where we live in our houseboat, it will be nice when the snow settles.
One morning we woke up to find it snowing. lots, and because the heavy snow had settled on the roof at an angle, our houseboat was leaning heavily. When we put the breakfast eggs on the table they rolled away ...
It was just (for Peter) to get up on the houseboat fence and sweep the snow down! Maybe there are reasons why he whines more about the snow than I (Helena) do ...
Lovely days in Cyprus
Early on Tuesday morning we flew to Cyprus to experience this interesting country together with a small group of travel bloggers and travel journalists. On Instagram (@freedomtravelnews) you can follow our journey a bit more in real time.
If you want more perspectives on this Cyprus trip, you can also follow Christian from Matochresebloggen (Insta: @matochresebloggen.se) and Marlene and Martin (Insta: @marlenerinda).
We have been travelling together until yesterday, when we went our separate ways in Cyprus. Now we find it extra exciting to follow each other on social channels. But soon we will meet again, for some more joint programmes.
Enjoying a mild climate
How excited have we been to come down to the warmth? Fantastically happy! The pictures below were taken by our friend Christian from Food and travel blog. It was the first night in Cyprus and we were tired, energised and extremely happy at the same time.
The mild climate of Cyprus is incredibly pleasant to experience. During the day it's 20-25 degrees centigrade and when the sun is shining it's nice and warm. really nice. In the evenings (or when there is a rain shower) it is a bit cooler, but it is still much, much warmer than what we are used to from home at the moment ...
We've covered a lot already, including historical sights, good food, resorts, vineyards and farms producing traditional delicacies. We'll tell you more soon, of course! In the meantime, you can read our first report on Limassol marina and Kipriakon restaurant.
Best this week
The best thing about this week is of course that we had the opportunity to discover fantastic Cyprus. What is also good is that we are still on the island and have the opportunity to discover even more!
Your turn! What can you highlight as positive from the week? Large and small ...
The week ahead
We'll be in Cyprus for a few more days, and you can count on FREEDOMtravel for plenty of Cyprus inspiration in the near future. We also have an exciting guest article (about a sunny destination on the other side of the Atlantic) in the pipeline. Don't miss it!

Lovely! A great contrast to shovelling snow from the roof of the houseboat. I know what I prefer;-)
