Day 6 Warsaw – Biatowieza Forest 281/1.511 km

Blijf op de hoogte en volg Rudy

26 April 2014 | Polen, Hajnówka

Around 9:40 hrs we started to leave Warsaw. The traffic was not too bad and the TomTom brought us on a small road east towards the Polish/Belarus border. The landscape varied between wooded and farmland. When we arrived in Biatowieza we looked around for the park entrance. I wanted to see the wild European Bison so they directed us to an enclosed zoo type area where several were grazing together with some other local animals. Not really what I had in mind. In the village we strolled through the park which was created around the old hunting lodge from the kings of Poland and Tsar of Russia. The lodge itself was replaced by a hotel/museum but the park was ok. The best way, I think, to get a better impression of this last remaining Natural Forest in Europe is by bicycle. Tomorrow we will rent one before moving on to Belarus.

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
