Day 3 Potsdam – Poznan 322/904 km

Blijf op de hoogte en volg Rudy

23 April 2014 | Polen, Poznań

We could not leave Potsdam without visiting the inside of one of the palaces. I am glad we did. The “Neuen Palace” (1780) was fantastic. This was only the summer palaces of the Prussian kings (later emperors). It was a clear demonstration of wealth and power finance by the concurring of Silesia. The interiors were decorated in the opulent Rococo style. Kaiser William 2 signed here the orders for the first world war. In a palace further up the lane in the Sanssouci Park, the peace negotiations were held of the second world war.
Later than expected we drove to Poznan in Poland. After getting the camping address from the tourist office we could relax and wander through this historic town. It was the first capital of Poland back in 968. The old town square has been done up and the building restored/repainted. Since it was around 20 deg, the large amount of outdoor terraces were filling up. We left it for a local KFC type restaurant. More because Rudy needs to drive and the temptation of (no) beer on a terrace was too big. I am writing this in the middle of a noisy thunder storm. The local internet has therefore been switched off.

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
