Day 28 Samarkand-Shahrisrz 162/8.348 km

Blijf op de hoogte en volg Rudy

18 Mei 2014 | Oezbekistan, Samarkand

We left early for the trial drive over the mountains to Shahrisrz where Iman Timur (1400) had built some mausoleums for himself and his family. It was a nice drive over the 1750 m pass. You did notice that the pulling power of the camper was less so I hope the drive over the mountain passes in Tajikistan are manageable . On the way back we were able to find Diesel (not commonly available along the way) and there were enough people spraying their gardens so filling the water tank was not difficult. We were back in time to see the remaining tourist sights of Samarkand i.e. follow the walking alley down the hill to the mausoleums. This is a small alley with left and right beautifully decorated mausoleums. It was like the valley of the kings but then with mausoleums.
The last 2 campers of the group arrived and Fred had arranged a delicious local meal with cold wine and live music in the courtyard of a small guesthouse. We are now with 5 campers. The next day however the group would split up again in 2 different groups.

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
