Day 47 Cholok- Ottum 94/12.184 km

Blijf op de hoogte en volg Rudy

06 Juni 2014 | Kyrgizië, Bisjkek

A short driving day. The first stop was at a restaurant along the new highway to the Ysyk-Kol lake which was to have internet. Well that did not work out. The dumplings were OK but no internet. The next stop was at Balykchy on the lake shore. No lakeside walks and it took us around 1 hr. to find the only place in town with WiFi. Even a pretty local guide could not help us find it. There are computer/gaming shops but there you have to use their computer. A bit like it was in internet cafe’s some 7 years ago before the WiFi introduction. This place was new and they had a relatively fast internet and some good noodle soup. All pictures could now be uploaded after the storage extension and captions were added. We hope you enjoyed it. The afternoon was a lazy drive along the lake till we found a side road through a tree plantation to the lake shore. The wind was blowing but that did not prevent Meija and Rudy from taking a refreshing dip in the 18 deg water. Today we are down to 2 campers. Our 4x4 compatriots must have found a more interesting road to drive on.

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
