Day 43 Tash-Rabat- Kochkor 253/11.510 km

Blijf op de hoogte en volg Rudy

02 Juni 2014 | Kyrgizië, Kochkor-Ata

In the morning the mountains were covered with a thin layer of snow. It had snowed overnight. We drove out of the valley on to a well deserved stretch of tarmac road. After 40 smooth km’s we came to the remains of an old citadel, Koshoy Kordon. The lovely small site museum was opened for us and we also had a stroll through the eroded sand walls which formed the citadel. The rest of the road to and past Naryn was reasonable till we started the slow climb up to the Dolon Pass (3058m). It was under construction. Since it was raining most of the way you had to be careful not to slip. All went well and we descended to Kochkor (1800 m) where we stayed in a CBT guesthouse. While typing this the house filled up with a Dutch tour of 17 people in two minibuses through Kirgizstan. And later our two other campers joined us too. There goes our romantic getaway.

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
