Day 79 Parshevnikova-Baikal Lake 234/20.590 km

Blijf op de hoogte en volg Rudy

08 Juli 2014 | Rusland, Irkoetsk

On the second day (we drove through Irkutsk (reserve a town visit for the return journey) and drove on towards Lake Baikal. First a stop at the Open Air museum showing local historical wooden buildings. Unfortunately there were not so many babushka’s to open up all the houses. A bit further we hit the Baikal Riviera. The lake is beautiful and the drive towards it over a rollercoaster road through the forest. The Riviera however is Russian style, i.e. run down, or maybe better still, in the build-up phase. The North side of the lake only has a small pebble beach. Maybe the south side is more Riviera. In the market we bought some of the local fish (smoked and salted) for dinner. The “camperreis.nl” campsite on the river mouth was nice and quiet with an unrestricted view of river and mountains.

Every day we write something about our trip. There are some 24 registered followers. There are however some 60 hits per day. I am very happy with that. I only whished that some of those readers would type in a reaction so we can get a feeling of what interests the followers. We could add more or less details or even coordinates of camp spots in case you are planning your own trip. Your responce will be appreciated

    Ja, je foto's zijn weer mooi Ruud! Een aantal kunnen zo in de novibkalender. Die huizen in je vorige bericht; leuk om dat soort details te zien. Ik heb geen idee van hoe het dagelijks leven er daar uit ziet. Misschien kun je daar af en toe wat van laten zien? Hoewel landschapjes het bij mij (geograaf) het ook altijd goed doen.

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
