Route map

08 April 2014 | Nederland, Assen

28 March was my last working day. As a going away present I got a set of tools for along the way.
I can now fulltime concentrate on the finishing touches for this trip. The last maps have been uploaded.
Coordinates of the campings in Polen, Belarus and Moscow have been found.
The route has been entered into Google Earth (see map photo).
We have had the first batch of injections.
Jamaliah is busy sowing the sleeping bag covers,
and I discovered that the campers aircon is not working. So back to the garage again tomorrow. Hopefully this is the last time.
This weekend we will have a sort of a send off party. Not to close to the departure date so we have time to actually start packing everything into the camper.

Kees Veeken:

Ruud, Goed nieuws, je publicatie komt in het volgende TechXplorer nummer. Er kunnen maar 4 auteurs op dus je moet er 1 (of meer) laten vallen, die komt/komen dan in de acknowledgements. Graag aangeven wie de (4) auteurs moeten zijn. Ik heb ook een korte CV en een pasfoto van je nodig. En wie zal ik als supervisor noemen? Goede reis, Kees (en ik neem aan dat de airco het doet)

Amsterdam Vladivostok

Ever since the last trip from Oman to Holland with the family in 2007, I had a plan to start a trip around the world in Amsterdam en then drive east as far as you can go i.e. Vladivostok. The trip around the world will be done in stages. This is the first.
I hired a VW camper in thew summer of 2011 and drove with the family to the North Cape (Norway). That was a successful trial so in October 2011 I bought a VW California Exclusive camper in Germany. Since then I have been upgrading the camper for this long trip.

At work I am taking part part in an early retirement saving scheme (Levensloop) and now handed in my notice. In Aril/May 2014 Jamaliah and I will start on this new adventure.

Rudy

We are a family of 4. Rudy Welling was a Principal Production Technologist with Shell/NAM's offshore team. He first went on sabbatical from April 2014 to April 2016. In that period he made a return trip to Vladivostok with his wife, Jamaliah, in camper Passepartout. This was followed by trips to New Zealand and Spain. In April 2016 Rudy re-joined NAM/Shell again in Assen for a year and then retired in May 2017 after 37 years with Shell. He and his family have spent some 21 years in various Shell locations around the world (NL, UK, Brunei, NL, USA, Nigeria, Oman, NL). Jamaliah Jaja is the Manager of the house and comes from Brunei. Anton (1993) studies Business IT in Groningen Bernard (1994) studies Mechatronics also in Groningen Both boys still live at home, but will have to run the household on their own when we start our trip. Our previous trip by car (Volkswagen Passat Station) was from Oman to Holland in 2007. Rudi's great plan is to travel with his wife in a camper around the world. The trips will be in steps. The first is from Amsterdam to Vladivostok. De second from Tierra Del Fuego in Argentina over the PANAM highway to Prudo Bay in Alaska. Australia and New Zealand will be separate side trips and Africa will either be done out and back from Amsterdam or just from the Cap to Amsterdam. Now as K/O of Rudi's retirement we are making this second step on a journey around the world. We hope you will enjoy our story Rudy & Jamaliah
