Day 96 Chita-Small village 629/25.334 km

Blijf op de hoogte en volg Rudy

25 Juli 2014 | Rusland, Chita

It is a long drive the last stretch to Vladivostok. We left Chita late due to the long evening of updating the Blog. We had a walk through the city centre looking for a supermarket and a Museum about the Decembrist (a group of nobleman who failed to topple the tsar in 1825 and were banned to labour camps around Chita). Both we did not find. After some driving around we did find the museum in a lovely old wooden church on the fringes of town. After that it was a long 629 km drive to catch up with our travel companions which we met camping in-between some wooden houses in a village. Since Rudy did not get much sleep, Jamaliah did most of the driving. (This is only the second time that Jamaliah took over driving the camper in the 96 days we are on the road. Rudy did most of the driving and he is very good at it). The road was in general good but there were a lot of bumps in the road because the sand body on which the road is built is sinking. The landscape is forested hills with no agriculture and not many villages (nor cars).

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
