On arrival, Erwin, the housekeeper met me with a friendly smile. He showed me around and informed me about the house and surrounding area. Wanne had also left me a welcome present of lovely wine, which was so incredibly nice of her!

The houseboat was amazing!!! Sitting calm on the canal, the houseboat was very clean and cozy. There are lots of windows that let in a lot of great natural light. My favorite thing to do was open the windows in the living room and sit on the grey foam mass in front of the opening. Swans and ducks would come by and say hi. One day, while I was sitting on the foam mass in front of the opened windows, it began to lightly rain. The sound of the rain on the canal, and the cool air was sooooooo relaxing and calming. I work stretched hours on a massive construction project in Dubai, needless to say, the experience at Wanne's houseboat was exactly what I was looking for. :) I can't wait to come back!!!
