Day 106 Vladivostok-River campsite 668/28.733 km

Blijf op de hoogte en volg Rudy

04 Augustus 2014 | Rusland, Chabarovsk

Today is the start of our return journey. After a good rest and breakfast in the hotel, everything packed in the camper, there was but one last thing to do before leaving. Getting a T-shirt. Hey not just a t-shirt but a Vladivostok one. We can’t just drive thousands of kilometres to here and not have a T-shirt to prove it. You would think this is not such a problem. Must be lots of them around. Unfortunately finding a Vladivostok t-shirt was not that easy. In most countries you will have stalls/shops in every street corners hawking these. But not here. After asking and several phone calls we found one in a small stationery shop next to the post office (with very limited supply).
Finally we are off. Through morning rush hours progress was extremely slow. On this return trip we agreed to take turn, every 2 hours or so, driving the camper. In this case we can cover more kilometres (approximately 600+km per day) with a short lunch break. The first half of the journey till Ulan Ude will be a drive through as we have already seen all the attractions we wanted to see on our way to Vladivostok.
After driving 668km we stopped for the night along a river, just off the main road.

    Lisz & Herman:

    Zo, jullie hebben die eerste week van de terugreis al een indrukwekkende afstand afgelegd! Ik kan het bijna niet geloven. Misschien dat ik het niet goed gezien heb op de kaart. Ulan Udan ligt toch boven Mongolie? Helaas is op het kaartje met de vlaggetjes, bij deze waarbenjijnu-site niet goed te zien wat de heen en wat de terugreis is.
    We zijn benieuwd of jullie op de terugweg nog een andere route gaan rijden.
    In elk geval, we blijven jullie volgen en hopen op een voorspoedige terugreis!

    Groetjes, Lisz en Herman

    Harm:

    Jullie gaan nu wel heel snel, is dit tempo vol te houden? 800 km op één dag klinkt onvoorstelbaar en dat meerdere dagen achter elkaar.. Hoe ziet jullie route en tijdspad voor de terugweg er uit? Succes en geniet! Harm

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
