MOT trip through
Salisbury, Bath & Bristol

While this is something that mattered very little a few minutes after the problem was solved, it is one that kept us anxiously for months, uncertain how to address the issue: our campervan got immobilized in Spain during the pandemic for having missed the technical inspection (MOT in English), which was not possible to do in Spain, because in Spain campers are inspected as campers, not cars (in UK they are inspected as cars). We thus had to make a trip dedicated to fixing the MOT, at the closest possible point of access, which was Portsmouth, and proceeded from here to Wolverhampton. This brought us, on the way, to Salisbury, Bath and Bristol.

Ferry trip (10 April)

A one night, two-days trip, which was fairly relaxed since by then we knew the most difficult was done: we were technically in British soil already, at least with a British timezone.

  • From our cabin.

  • Morning stretch.

  • The peace of solitude when in the middle of nowhere.

  • Everything's a seat when you're a baby.

  • Don't pull that.

  • From one deck to the next.

  • A playground on the top of a boat.

  • Looking at what exactly? Could be a dolphin, could be a wavelet...

  • Nap time.

  • Luz with Rubén Sánchez's artwork.

  • Looking at one's soul.

  • It's prettier outside but cozier inside.


Isle of Wight from the Ferry

A highlight was sailing past the Isle of Wight and toying with all our memories there, when it was our neighbor, for several years, to which we paid only a couple of visits. It was very familiar nevertheless and a cherished acquaintance.

  • The Isle of Wight in sight: now in the arms of UK.

  • The Yarborough Monument sitting on the Culver cliff.

  • Ryde seafront.


Portsmouth

  1. with the Round Tower.
