Day 111 Ulan-Ude- BC Baikal/Turka 208/ 31.880 km

Blijf op de hoogte en volg Rudy

09 Augustus 2014 | Rusland, Turka

We took hot showers and scrub off the dirt. After a good night sleep we were ready for the road again. There is a new road through the forested mountains North of Ulan Ude to the sandy beaches of the Baikal eastern shore. Just in front of the coast there is a warm lake, which we first visited. The water is warmed up by underground hot water springs. The shoreline was however not very attractive. The water was shallow and full of alga. We spent some time there to remove most of the tar stuck to the side of the car with diesel. Not a very healthy job but at least the map was visible again and the door white. A bit further up the road we found a nice spot under the trees looking down into lake Baikal. The sandy campsites were mostly occupied but from our tent we could get down into the water. The wind was cold and strong so Rudy did not attempt to swim. Moreover he was happy to rest further and get rid of his stomach bug.

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
