Day 38 Isfara Grens-Osh (KYRGZ) 253/10.730 km

Blijf op de hoogte en volg Rudy

28 Mei 2014 | Tajikistan, Isfara

Since we slept at the border we were the first in line. Once the custom officer was available all paper work was checked and we got our exit stamp. In the Kirgizstan side it was similarly swift that in 20 min. we were across. The road to Osh is a bit of a search and find. There are several Uzbek enclaves to drive around. These bypass roads are still under construction and not well indicated. For most of the time we hugged the border of Uzbekistan in the Fergana valley. We deliberately drove in a 3 camper convoy to avoid people getting lost and get through this sometimes troubled area as quickly as possible. In Osh the group split up with one looking for a large flatbed truck to send to the border we just came from and bring the stranded camper all the way to Kazakstan. In Osh we found a nice camping spot along a steam in the outskirts of town. All was going well from our side. The news on moving the broken down camper in TZ was also finally showing progress since its towing started at 01.00 hrs. Let’s hope it reaches the border at Isfara in time. It means a long 550+ km tow/flatbed drive.

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
