Day 4 Poznan – Warsaw 335/1.239 km

Blijf op de hoogte en volg Rudy

24 April 2014 | Polen, Warschau

First it was back into Poznan town to see the double towered cathedral (15th century) on the river island where the town originated. We then crossed the bridge into the old town. On the main square we had a look inside the old town hall (1550). All floors were well laid out with paintings and other artefacts from the town. At 12 o’clock we were outside, just in time to hear and see the 2 metal goats butting their heads together 12 times. The square was full of school children counting the butts.
The drive on the new motorway (toll) to Warsaw was eventless. The scenery was mostly flat farmland with not many farms and villages. In Warsaw we managed to find with difficulty the parking place below the old city close to the Vistula river. We got the coordinates out of the recent NKC Camper magazine. No services are provided nor are there any other campers except for several trucks of the catering service for a film crew filming in the old city.
The late sunny afternoon was spent exploring the “old city” with rebuild main square and part of the city wall. It was all well done in 17th century style. If you did not know any better you would not notice it, except for the same roof tiles on all houses, straight chimneys and large rooms extending over several buildings.
On this trip we have been very lucky so far with the weather. It has been sunny and warm daytime and dry at night, except last night when we had thunderstorm and heavy rain.

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
