Day 62 Sasyqkol Lake-Arshay Lake 422/15.294 km

Blijf op de hoogte en volg Rudy

21 Juni 2014 | Kazachstan, Arshaly

These are long driving days. From one lake to another. Because it was weekend and we were on the lookout we only got stopped once by a policeman at a roadblock. Since we did not do anything wrong he straight away asked for a souvenirs. We offered our Holland card but that was not what he meant! The roads in general were covered with tarmac and actually not too bad. Because you could not rely on it, that there were no potholes, the speed had to be kept at around 70 km.
In the morning of the first day we drove east in-between the 2 lakes of Arshay but could not continue because the road stopped in the swamp. We had to backtrack and drive around the lakes towards the north. It was a beautiful drive through the swampy nature reserves with pelicans, aalsgolvers and other birds. At the end of the day we found a beautify campsite at a small lake in between granite hills. It took a long drive (422 km) to get there.

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
