23 oktober 2015

Assen (6414 km)

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 ...

Assen - Nederland

20 oktober 2015

Cevennes (5000 km)

We took our time to pack up and leave. Following again the non toll roads we crossed the border in to France and drove along the A75 through the middle of the country towards Paris. After 430 km it was time to find a camping spot. Jamaliah found one ...

19 oktober 2015

Barcelona (4570 km)

While getting the car ready for the drive, Jamaliah noticed damage to the metal insert screen in the sliding door. Apparently somebody had tried to force it open with a screwdriver while we were away in town (in broad daylight). Fortunately they did ...

Barcelona - Spanje

17 oktober 2015

Valencia (4176 km)

Mid afternoon we stopped at a camper site in the middle of a citrus grove near Murcia. The whole area inland from the coast is very fertile. Everywhere there are groves of citrus fruit, harvested and/or re-plowed wheat fields and closer to Valencia ...

Valencia - Spanje

15 oktober 2015

Andalusia, Almeria (3714 km)

Before we left the camping at Granada, Jamaliah discovered that the rear breaking light on the roof was falling out. No problem. The bicycles were removed and Jamaliah was lifted up on the rack to screw the lights back into place. Just south of ...

Almería - Spanje

13 oktober 2015

Andalusia, Granada (3487 km)

We took the small road into the foothills of the Sierra de Almijara. The first stop was at Ronda. This time no church visit, just wandering (for Rudy hobbling) around. The town straddles the narrow (100m wide), 100 m deep El Tajo gorge. An old ...

Granada - Spanje

8 oktober 2015

Andalusia, Gibraltar (3182)

In the evening we strolled to the sea. Lots of people, young and old, were having kite surfing lessons. First on land controlling the kite and then later in the sea/ocean. Only after that you got the board and could give it a try. It looks easier ...

7 oktober 2015

Andalusia, Cadiz (2929 km)

In Cadiz the next day (7/10/15) we parked the car again on a terrain in the harbor which was set aside for parking. It was not very busy in the harbor. I am not sure if this is a sign of the state of the economy. While driving around it looks like ...

Cádiz - Spanje

5 oktober 2015

Andalusia, Sevilla (2820 km)

Sevilla is a lot further down the river towards the coast. Because it is lower (5 m) it is a lot hotter and a lot warmer in the evening here. We parked at a car storage area on the bank of the river. They had set an area aside for campers. Not much ...

Sevilla - Spanje

3 oktober 2015

Andalusia, Cordoba (2676 km)

We changed the direction in the TomTom to Cordoba and continued on the secondary and tertiary roads south. It is surprising how good even the smallest roads are. In the afternoon we were driving on the service road next to the A4 highway from Madrid ...

Córdoba - Spanje

29 september 2015

Aragon (2054 km)

From Lake Caspe we followed the small roads further south over the high plains and down into the valleys where most of the towns are. One of those towns, Alcaniz, has a castle prominently sticking above the town on top of the hill. Following the ...

Albarracín - Spanje

28 september 2015

Catalonia (1846 km)

We let our TomTom guide us further down the mountains to Lleida where we had a quick look at the castle/cathedral structures on top of the hill in the center of the town. A wind/sandstorm was blowing hard and rain was on the way. We made a quick ...

Lerida - Spanje

27 september 2015

Carcassonne (1442 km)

It took a while before we got on the road (13:00 hrs). Still we had hope to reach the Ardennes in Belgium. Being a Thursday the roads were not too busy. A bit of rain here and there but we made good progress. All motor way till Liege in Belgium. We ...

Carcassonne - Frankrijk

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
