Easter lunch on deck in the sun - what a fantastic day we have enjoyed! After a long Swedish winter, we are shocked. The sun is shining - and it's warm!

What summer days!

The first month of autumn is here and we are in the cold north. And yet, this feeling of summer by the Mediterranean. The marina is bustling with activity: children in life jackets on the piers and parties sipping bubbly at Sjökrogen.

We have now been living in a houseboat for just over a month. When we tell new people, we usually get some questions of a practical nature. So we thought we'd answer them here too!

Beautiful evenings in the Pampas marina

Despite small details like the shower running and the hot water coming in bursts, we feel ridiculously spoilt. Can you have a view like this every day? We see the sun in the morning as it creeps up and colours the sky red behind the Aqva villas.
