Day 41 Kazaman-Orto-Syrt 244/11.238 km

Blijf op de hoogte en volg Rudy

31 Mei 2014 | Kyrgizië, Orto-Say

The drive out of the Fergana range took the whole day. Each plateau we reached was higher than the previous one. The sites from the passes were beautiful. The road was dry and drivable. Passepartout did of course have trouble with the high altitude but we managed to coach him over the passes. At 16:15 we stopped to let the others catch up. This was in a large wide high altitude plain of 2800m. One of the cars just stopped functioning at that point. Fortunately after a short towing the internal computer was reset or fooled and it could start again. Because there was no phone reception there we drove on at 19:30 to find a lower spot. To get there we drove over the highest pass of the day: 3389 m. It was a lovely drive and the sunset gave warm colours to the rocks.

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
