Day 39 Osh-Osh 8/10.738 km

Blijf op de hoogte en volg Rudy

29 Mei 2014 | Tajikistan, Isfara

Whole day was spent at the garage. First the ladies camper needed a broken bolt of the extra spring set to be replaced. This meant taking everything apart and un-welding/welding new bolts on the removed bottom plate. Around 14:00 that was done. It was lunch time so Rudi’s camper had to wait. The ladies drove on to the planned meeting point and at around 15:00 they started on Passepartout. The rubber/steel hinge connection of the torsion bar was gone on the left side. It made a strong banging noise when driving through big holes on the road (which is a lot). It looked like an easy job i.e. fabricate and replace the lost hinge. Unfortunately the hole part was sheared off and there was no thread to screw the bolt in. As a result the whole wheel hang-up had to be removed in order to weld a nut onto the frame. It was only finished around 19:30 so there was no time to catch up with the others. We drove back to our familiar night spot and again enjoyed the sound of the small fast flowing stream accelerated by the rain.

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
