Day 48 Ottum-Dieti-Ogus Kuurord 221/12.405 km

Blijf op de hoogte en volg Rudy

07 Juni 2014 | Kyrgizië, Bisjkek

During the night the sad news came through that one of our travel companions has to fly back to Holland for medical reasons. How this will end up we do not know yet. For now we are travelling around the Ysyk-Kol lake with Paula en Meija and will meet the other 2 campers again in Bishkek over 2 days. The camper from Fred is undergoing repair and hope to join us again in Russia. . Today we started off driving around the lake but at the first opportunity made a detour over some hills into a lovely green valley with a clouded view of the high snow-capped mountains in the distance. The road was very bumpy. After 2 hour we took the first detour back to the more smother lakeside road. The beaches were beautiful. An effort was made to plant trees along the lake side and in several places there were abandoned hotels (may be due to the recent market crisis?). Close to Karakol we went up a valley with red sandstone cliffs at the end of it and camped along the fast flowing river. It is again around 2000m high so the night may be cold. Tomorrow early we hope to be in Karakol to see the animal Sunday market and other highlights in the town e.g. the cathedral and mosque (in the shape of Mongolian Buddhist temple).

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
