Birthday
Our birthdays are shortly after each other (we are both crayfish) and it is first my (Helena's) turn. We rarely make a big deal of birthdays, but we still took the opportunity to drink some bubbly and eat some luxurious picnic food, with cold cuts, melon, cheeses and some Västerbotten pie.
"Why don't we have a photo for the blog?" said Peter.
"In this old T-shirt?"
"Yes, we should just be ourselves on the blog."
"Yes, ok then!"
Sunsets
If you follow us on @freedomtravelnews You've already seen these sunset photos on Instagram, but we're sharing them here on the blog too. The view from our houseboat in the evenings is absolutely stunning sometimes! Some evenings it feels like the sky burn.
Master swimmer
Sweden is amazing, isn't it? Seriously, we love exploring Europe, but now we're adjusting to the situation. And yes, there is a lot to see and experience in Sweden! Man can indeed travelling to some countries now, but we are in no hurry. We prefer to follow developments for a while first. This could be a great opportunity to discover our own country.
Best this week
The best part of this week was our lovely motorhome trip to Sikh helmet, Lingnåre cultural reserves and Ängskärs havscamping. We are also pleased that another new product has been added. web shops. It will be so exciting opening the shop after the holidays! What can you highlight as positive from your week?
The week ahead
This weekend we are embarking on a new motorhome tour along the coast. We will visit several interesting places, which we will of course tell you about. Then we will get ready for the summer holiday trip along the Göta Canal. Don't miss it!

Congratulations on your birthdays. I think it's great that you express, "We should be ourselves." Same here, sometimes a suit & tie, next time the worst roughneck clothes. Have a nice holiday!

Congratulations to you both from us! Perfect way to celebrate. Enjoy your motorhome trips in summer Sweden! Fun to follow you! We will collect tips so we have to pick up another year when hopefully it will be possible to move more freely again.

Last, but certainly not least, happy birthday!
All the best and drive carefully.

Had the honour of birthdays! And that looked like a really nice dinner, so good with a little pick me up especially when it's hot.
The sunsets are amazing, imagine how nature paints it for us to enjoy.
Have a great weekend!

Congratulations to both of you!
It will be fun to follow your canal journey! Göta Canal, or parts of it, is "home" for me! Have long thought of cycling along the canal.
It has been such a stressful work week that at first I could not figure out if I did anything other than work and sleep, have barely met the kids even, but something fun has happened! I got a pig leg as a birthday present (also crayfish) and we have started cutting it up this week! Absolutely delicious pata negra ham!
Soon it will be the weekend, thanks for that!

Congratulations and warm wishes are flying across the Atlantic to you.
Even though I've never camped in a house on wheels, I think it's so much fun!
to accompany you on your travels, - I like your style of sharing your experiences.
and I get to see places I have never visited.
I've never known anyone who lives on a boat either, so making your acquaintance...
has given me new views of life...
Imagine if I could have the chance to sit at the table with you!
