Day 52 Kegen-Saty 113/13.039 km

Blijf op de hoogte en volg Rudy

11 Juni 2014 | Kazachstan, Kegen

The morning was sunny but the wind was very strong. There was no place around the camper to sit and have breakfast (coffee+ Muesli). Rudy had to sit inside on the bed with Jamaliah slowly waking up.
The trip to the 3 small lakes of `Kol-Say Lakes National Park (1800m high)` started off on 35 km tarmac road. The landscape was beautiful and the spirits high. The rest of the 80 km was however of gravel ¬, potholes roads of varying quality. We did go through a few villages where the main street was surfaced, so that gave some relief. When we finally arrived at the park entrance we had it. It was still another 10km and a 350m climb. It was too much (ps. Jamaliah had a meltdown. The potholed, deep grooved road was getting on her nerves). We turned around and found a nice spot at the river. As Jamaliah said, it is the same water as at the lake so this is OK. We had enough time and water to wash the campers, clothes and ourselves. You just can’t see everything. It was also a lot warmer and no wind at this 1450 m high camping spot.

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
