Day 53 Saty-Kokpek 145/13.184 km

Blijf op de hoogte en volg Rudy

12 Juni 2014 | Kazachstan, Kökpek

The drive out towards the Shary Canyon was the first over the rough winding mountain road, then over a smooth road till the turnoff and then 12 km of ribbled (washboard) steppe dirt track to the canyon. It was hot and dry. Something we were no longer use to. The views down into the canyon were spectacular. There was also a road going down which were not allowed to take because we had no 4WD. Pity. I would have liked to camp at the river at the bottom of the canyon. Instead we drove further towards Almaty and found a small track into a narrow valley with a small stream. Since it was so hot Rudy had to cool down in the stream again.

    Weer leuke verslagen!!! Mooi dat je een foto kon maken van de blauwe Roller Bird. Het Afrikaanse 'broertje' lijkt er precies op! Al Kazachse wielrenners gezien? ;-) Astana ploeg zal toch wel in training zijn voor de Tour...

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
