Day 44 Kochkor-Kizil-Oy 150/11.660 km

Blijf op de hoogte en volg Rudy

03 Juni 2014 | Kyrgizië, Kochkor-Ata

We had a slow start. First we let all the other guest leave so we had the house to ourselves again. Our camper friends joined us for breakfast. The ladies decided to take another day or 2 rest so Jeroen and I drove out of town for the long way around to Bishkek via the A367 crossing the low Kyzary Pass (2664m). First we made a visit to the CBT (Community Base Tourism) office to use the very slow internet connection there. We could clean up our e-mail but actually not read and reply to any long messages. Updating the Blog was not possible at that speed. As usual the drive started on a good road but when we got higher the smooth surface stopped and it was a rough road again. The scenery was again great. The mountains were covered in a thin layer of snow. Unfortunately the snow fall made it impossible to go to the nearby mountain lake and nature reserve (Song-Kul, 3016m). After the pass and on the way down the tarmac started again and we both enjoyed more the road and the views. We crossed the quick flowing Kokomoron river and stopped before the valley narrowed. Jamaliah took the opportunity to wash the clothes in the quick flowing river. There was also enough wind and sun to dry them before it got dark.

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
