Living on a Dutch houseboat

Europe 2024 (NL / IT / FR)

We now live on a boat, in a canal, in The Netherlands. Apart from living in a windmill or a pair of giant clogs, I can’t think of anything more appropriate for our time here. As a bonus for its Australian visitors, this boat is named “Boomerang” 🪃.

We thought we were to stay in the houseboat of our cousin Nico, but he had generously arranged for our own boat, two births away.

It’s fully fitted out with kitchen, living area, power points, shower, toilet, fridge, stove, washing machine and bedroom. The living area includes a powered opening sunroof.

We’ve parked our hired Tesla in the next street, with options there for on street charging.

    1. Margaret McDonald No. just using it as a home for a week or two. I’d need a licence to drive it. And its engine burns fossil fuel 😉.
