Assen (6414 km)

Blijf op de hoogte en volg Rudy

23 Oktober 2015 | Nederland, Assen

To speed up the return trip (so we could be closer to home if something else happen with Rudy’s health) we decided to take the toll roads. Progress was quick with 612 km till Lille on the border with Belgium and then 504 km via The Hague for a family visit and a roadside restaurant in Spier to Assen.

In total we drove some 6,400 km in 29 days. We concentrated this trip on Andalusia in the South of Spain. The 400+ years of Moorish influence on the architecture is refreshing and new if you are used to the gothic cathedrals of Northern Europe. Compared to the silk road cities we visited in Uzbekistan the buildings were less opulent but still dominated by the intricate patterns. The next trip to Spain will be to the North West.

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
