Day 112 Turka-BC Baikal Istmina 258/ 32.138 km

Blijf op de hoogte en volg Rudy

10 Augustus 2014 | Rusland, Turka

The next day we had a lie in and around 10:00 started the drive back and further around Baikal in the direction of Irkutsk. On the map there was a short cut so we would not have to drive all the way back to Ulan Ude. With some asking we found the road and reached the first ferry at 12:30. That was lunchtime so after unloading his load of cars the bridge went up and we had to wait. Fortunately there was another ferry over the wide Selenga River some 10 km further and the GPS brought us there despite the changes in the road (dirt track) route. Once across we followed the familiar main road from a month earlier, M55, for a little bit but then turned off and continued up the delta to one of the planned bush camps on the lakeshore. The lake here is filled up by the delta from the Selenga River. It is shallow, swampy grassland. Not ideal for swimming but teaming with fish given the number of anglers giving it a try. We spent another relaxing day to gain strength for the long drives to come.

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
