Film from the Philippines
So, Peter has put together a film about our trip to the Philippines, and about the first time in the Cebu City and on the island Malapascua. You can watch the film (13 minutes long) below. Don't forget to switch on the sound on your computer!
The film is also shown on After Work TVwhich is a new play channel for all senior citizens in Sweden. "After Work" refers to the time after retirement, i.e. "after work". Pretty clever, isn't it?
In any case, this collaboration is a lot of fun, and it's great that our films are also shown there. This was episode 1, and more films will come in time.
Our everyday life in Malapascua, Philippines
We are hanging out on the island of Malapascua and while we are preparing for a boat trip in the Philippines it has become a bit of a daily routine here. We hang out quite a lot outside our accommodation at Hiltey's Hide Out, where we sit and work on the computers.
It's not just FREEDOMtravel that needs updating. We have several writing projects going on, plus I (Helena) am writing articles on behalf of a company in the motorhome industry.
We also move around a lot in the small alleys of Malapascua. There are no cars here, so it's a walk or a moped.
Sometimes we've gone down to the boat Dotche, which we're going boating with, and then there's also a walk through dense green terrain.
You should eat, otherwise you will die. We have eaten down by the beach a few times, including good pizza for around 90 SEK/person, but it gets expensive to eat there in the long run. If you go just a short distance from the beach, the prices are better, and you can have a good dinner for 40-50 SEK per person.
A beer then costs around SEK 15. The picture shows us at one of our favourite places, where we enjoyed good food such as adobo (Filipino stew), chicken in sweet and sour sauce, spring rolls and Chicken Cordon Bleu.
It's also common to point to the ingredient you want (for example, chicken, pork, fish, shrimp, mussels, corn on the cob or vegetable skewers) and have it grilled, along with rice and perhaps some soy and chilli.
If you want to eat yet you can do what we sometimes do for lunch. Then we buy a cup of noodles and pour boiling water from the kettle we have at the hotel. Then the lunch does not cost many kronor!
Continued cooperation with Alltomhusbilen.se
As I said, we work when we are here, and one thing we have done is to develop our co-operation with the online magazine. Alltomhusbilen.se. Now not only our Swedish articles on motorhome destinations are there, but also our German ones, in their menu under "Destinations", with the headings "Swedish Pearls" and "German Pearls". Even more countries are coming soon!
The aim is to enable the readers of Alltomhusbilen to find articles about travel destinations. If you have already found our site, you will of course find the articles directly here, under the headings "Sweden", "Europe" and "World" in the menu at the top of the page.
Best this week
The best part of this week is that we get to have our office in this amazing setting in Malapascua, Philippines. It feels really luxurious to be able to work like that! In addition, it feels positive and fun that the boat trip is approaching.
Your turn... What can you highlight as positive from the week?
The week ahead
During the coming week we will continue to hang out on Malapascua. We will, if everything goes as planned, both go over to the larger island of Cebu to shop and go on a fishing trip. Meanwhile, the boat trip is slowly but surely approaching!
Here at freedomtravel.se we alternate the reports from the Philippines with a few other things. Among other things, you can expect a guest article with inspiration from Italy.

Fun with the film collaboration with after work! Will watch the film later.
My best from the week has to be last Saturday when my middle son and partner came over to our house for dinner. So cosy!

Not a bit, avis hahaha looks so lovely where you sit with the sea behind. What a good film you made, really fun to see. It gets so good with the drone shots too. I jumped when the music came, it suddenly became so loud, unlike when you talked, but I listened with the plugs in my ears.
We had the best sunshine of the week on Tuesday when blog friends BM and Lars came to town and we made the Butterfly House etc.
Keep up the good work

Glad you liked the film!!! And thanks for the feedback! We are working on the sound! Nice that BM and Lars came to visit, the Butterfly House is a nice destination.

How lovely it looks, jealousy???? So wonderful to live "everyday life" in this place. We sat and watched your film at the same time as the storm Otto moves in with winds and rain...
The best part of the week for us (as for JoY) is Tuesday's trip to Stockholm, including the Paradox Museum.
Then we premiered the golf course, not bad for this time of year!

The storm sounds nasty! There has also been a lot of rain here actually and it's going to be a bit windy. Even an earthquake nearby that some felt (but we slept and did not notice anything). But it is hot all the time regardless! Golf already now, oh I did not even think you could golf already? Wishing a continued nice weekend!

This was really a happy Friday post from start to finish:-) The header picture is a highlight. Listening and watching your film clip was really fun. Oh the food that you show - my goodness how good it looks, especially the mussels and scampi. YUM! Considering how surprisingly expensive the pizzas are (Swedish prices), I would now live on "local" specialities:-).
After work TV is really clever. Imagine all the 65-plus people sitting in front of your blog and enjoying your posts. I am one of them;-) DS.
PS. Thanks for all the answers to my questions. I'm glad you put the answers in the post. DS

It's a great idea for this co-operation.
