Day 18 Dergaci-Uralsk 245/5.056 km

Blijf op de hoogte en volg Rudy

08 Mei 2014 | Rusland, Dergachi

Fred &Truus and Meija &Paula did leave at 7:30am on the dot. Water was collected and they were on their way. With their large campers their speed is a lot slower than ours. So despite that we left at 8:15am we still reached the border before they did. Since we were not allowed to wait at the border we travel without any issues through and entered Kazakhstan. It was a similar worn out and bumpy road as in Russia all the way to Uralsk. Not all potholes can be avoided so I hope the new suspension is up to the impacts. In Uralsk we only briefly visited the orthodox church and had a coffee and toilet stop in a cafe. The town had broad streets and looked friendly in the afternoon sun. There was however not much more of interest to see, so we followed the track out of town to a campsite 20 km on at the Oerla river. This spot was however now a resort of some type so we were only allowed to stay on the parking lot. We advised the others to remain in Uralsk and save another bumpy road. What we did have however was nature, sun shine and internet in the compound. I will later upload the text and possibly the photo’s if there is enough connection.

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
