This morning, we discovered a spot that overlooks the entire marina, where you can see both the houseboat and the motorhome. Here are two photos from a completely new view.

The drain is broken (again)

How is that possible? Those of you who have been around for a while may remember that we had a lot of trouble with the sewage system last autumn. Now we have a brand new sewage pump. Everything is installed by plumbers and we have chosen the stuff that was recommended. But what happened last night?

Easter lunch on deck - houseboat life in the sun

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! We had to hurry to clean the deck from boards and building materials, and get the outdoor furniture in the motorhome. Now we wanted to eat Easter lunch on the deck!

The marina in winter splendour

It snows and snows, and we get to experience houseboat life in winter weather. Really cosy actually! These pictures are from yesterday afternoon, when it snowed a little more moderately than today and when the sun also looked out cautiously. If you are wondering, we have no problem with the heat in the boat, even though the upstairs is uninsulated and several windows are only single glazed.

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.

Living close to nature ... and the city

One of the things I really like about houseboating is being so close to nature. You can hear the water lapping and when I cook breakfast I see ducks, herons (yes, yesterday there were two) and perch. This morning some birds had a race on the roof, and I heard them chasing each other back and forth.
