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.
This page is still in progress.
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.
The peace of solitude when in the middle of nowhere.
Everything's a seat when you're a baby.
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...
Luz with Rubén Sánchez's artwork.
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 Yarborough Monument sitting on the Culver cliff.
- with the Round Tower.
Aquarium
This was Luz's first visit to an aquarium.
First-time visit to an aquarium.
And not too sure what to make of it.
Encounter of the Third Kind.
They would actually get out of the water from above.
Maybe they got the chain food backward.
So many fishes even in a mere aquarium.
Other types in another tank.
A favorite that is now found in all aquariums: the water tunnel.
A lot of action going on although it's only going round.
Luz's interest remained maximum throughout, even when there was only water bulging out.
We told her this one looked like mémé.
