Day 117 Tomsk-Novosibirsk 299/ 34.529 km

Blijf op de hoogte en volg Rudy

15 Augustus 2014 | Rusland, Novosibirsk

We (=JJ) could have another lie–in because the time had shifted again by 1 hour. We did a rap up tour of the old wooden houses, tried to find the botanical gardens in the university compound and drove out of town south in the direction of Novosibirsk. Before the city the road widened into a 4 lane highway but in town it was one long single lane traffic congestion. We wanted to visit the train museum at the south end of town for which we had a waypoint. It proved to be something different then all the “standard” historical/regional museums. It was great fun and both of us posed with our favourite machine. No steam engine older than 1932 was present though. They must be somewhere else. Another peanut we thnakfully took from camperreis.nl was a waypoint of the yacht club a bit further down the road. There we could book a room and do our clothes and self washing.

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
