Day 13 Holoholenska -Moscow 299/3.678 km

Door: Ruud

Blijf op de hoogte en volg Rudy

03 Mei 2014 | Rusland, Moskou

It was a cold night. The frost was on the bonnet of the car. Not yet on the inside of the camper windows because of the double glazing. The camper is winter proof and we have good down sleeping bags. Jamaliah now sleeps “downstairs” on the folded out sofa bed and Rudy “upstairs” on the long bed. For both of us that is better. Rudy because he has more space and for Jamaliah because the snoring is no longer next to her ears. As far as waking up there is no difference. Rudy still has to try and motivate Jamaliah to get out from under her warm duvet. Especially this cold morning. The drive went smooth to Tver (despite what the guidebook says, a non interesting town some 190 km above Moscow) and after that the road got busier and busier. From the outer ring of Moscow to the second ring it was start and stop. It took us several hours to get to the van Son’s residency (work colleague from our Oman time). That appeared to be an oasis of tranquillity in a forested area of Moscow next to the American school. We were really made to feel welcome and after a needed shower, went to see the school choir performing with the Bolshoi chamber music orchestra in the school auditorium. Luc and Deirdre took us later into town and we enjoyed the red square at night as well as our first decent meal outside the camper.

    Hoi Rudy en Jamaliah,
    Ik heb even door alle reisverslagen gelezen: geweldig hoor. Weet nog goed dat Rudy in Oman al plannen had voor een wereldreis en dat is er dus nu van gekomen. Heel veel plezier en vele mooie, onvergetelijke momenten toegewenst.
    Doe ook de hartelijke groeten aan de van Sons.

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
