I found this charming little houseboat tied up in the harbour in Oslo. Can’t help but wonder what it would be like to toodle on up the Norwegian coast in it.
I used to dream of owing a houseboat on the West Coast of Canada. Then I found out the problem that lurk in the underbelly of the attractive little beasties. Still…what a great way to go to sleep every night.
I don’t think I would like to own it – just rent it for the summer… But yes – I can sleep in/on boats better than anywhere. I love this little boat – it reminds me of an old VW in a way
I don’t think it’s much better for folks born and raised in cold climes… I was shocked that in Maine, they harvest soft shell lobster in the winter… those poor, poor fishermen…
Me – I’d only do it in the summer as well… it would take to long and I can only stand being cold for rather short periods of time…
I have always dreamed of spending an extended stay on a houseboat…part of my youthful dreams of adventure. And even now, I think that I would still give it a whirl. I’m not opposed to doing without some things as a trade-off to having the adventure.
Actually, this houseboat might be a wee bit small to handle the fiords… it’s probably more of a day tripper – but I would love to do the fiords long and slow. There’s a cargo company that has cabins for visitors that does the trip – but they cost the earth so I don’t know… I might just have to do it in this wee thing…

It would definately have to be summer time for me. Cold and water and boat. Not a good combo for a person born and raised on the Texas plains.
