Day 76 Zolopojkitatriver-Krasnoyarsk 499/19.400 km

Blijf op de hoogte en volg Rudy

05 Juli 2014 | Rusland, Krasnoyarsk

Not only was this our wedding anniversary but also the day Netherlands plays Costa Rica in the Quarterfinal of the world cup. Good reasons to find a hotel. The M53 first brought us through Marinsk. The town was not mentioned anywhere but it should. We took the road through the town centre and immediately had to turn around to take a picture of a beautifully decorated wooden house. In the city centre there were several old houses from wood and stone nicely painted and decorated. On top of that there were several nice wooden statues along the way.
The next highlight was the dam and boatlift at Divnogorsk. To reach that we took a detour off the trans Siberian M53 road to the M54. The drive was a climb and descent towards the dammed river lake. The ramp to haul up boats over the dam was visible but I am not sure if it is still used. The city of Krasnoyarsk also has several Jugendstil style houses and a good museum. We will leave those for the return journey.
The old not renovated Sever hotel was at Euro 80, more expensive than the others up till now. We did get for that a very large room with sleeping and sitting section. Not really what we needed but the most important thing was the TV for the match. Unfortunately that started at 04.00 hrs but well worth getting up for great attacking from NL but no goals. The keeper saved 2 penalties in the shootout and save the match.

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
