Day 30 Bukhara-Boysun 378/9.036 km

Blijf op de hoogte en volg Rudy

20 Mei 2014 | Oezbekistan, Boysun

This morning the final touches could be done to the blog. Last night the internet went down. Rudy was sitting in the cool morning sun editing away and hearing the cars/campers leaving one by one. We drove the camper to the Ark. Inside was an exhibition of the local history, flora and fauna. Large groups of Uzbeks were wandering though the museum. Opposite the Ark was a beautiful open air mosque. The roof was held up by long decorated wooden pillars. There was also a nice pond with flowing water. The rest of the day was spent driving south out of the low plains into the Pamir foot hills. The pulling power of the car was disappointing (at 1500 m) so we will have to see how it goes on the Pamir Highway (4000+ m). The landscape was getting greener with more grass and hence sheep and goats. We drove on to 18:15 before we caught up with Paula and Meija and found a parking spot overlooking Boysun. It was much colder so the jackets had to come out when sitting around the camper and eating caviar on toast with beer and wine. Life can be hard...

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
