Here in the marina where we live there are many different houseboats. There are aquavillas and villa voyager, which we've talked about before, but also a bunch of more "classic" houseboats. So what do I mean by that? Well, I mean all sorts of boats and barges that have been converted into permanent accommodation on water.

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!

We are gradually replacing all the lighting in the houseboat with LEDs. Electricity will be one of the major costs here, especially when the cold weather arrives. At least being able to light up the boat without having to worry about power consumption feels good. The LED lights are expensive to buy, but it feels like it will pay off in the long run.

Now we (read Peter) have laid new flooring in the big room on the lower deck, which means that we have parquet flooring in the summer room. At least it's almost done - just a small corner left as it turned out that we need one more package. Peter has laid many many floors in his life, but he says this was by far the worst.

I realise that I often take photos from the houseboat, and then the houseboat itself is not included in the picture. Today we went around the docks with the camera and took some pictures of the houseboat from different angles. If you would have missed it, you can see what it looks like! The boat is from the 1930s and has a little unknown history. Some things appear to be original, while others have been remodelled countless times.

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.

Last spring, Peter's son Robin and his wife Alexandra went on a 10-day holiday to Las Vegas. They had a great experience and told us about all the great things over there: huge hotels with lots of shops and restaurants, gigantic swimming pools and huge breakfast buffets with rich cake tables.

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.
