Day 70 Oskemen-Klimovkr 207/17.277 km

Blijf op de hoogte en volg Rudy

29 Juni 2014 | Kazachstan, Ust’-Kamenogorsk

We drove towards north of Oskemen back into the Altai Mountains close to the Russian border. There was a waypoint past Ridder which should have location of a monastery. We could not find it. While we were having lunch on the way back a group of cars passed us by going further up the sandy road towards the border. The guidebook mentioned that there was a recreational centre further up the road. Since Rudy was keen to see the Holland-Mexico match, we decided to turn the car and drive there. We arrived in the middle of a wedding party and were invited to join in. Nicolai (French) and Rowena (Kazakh) met each other in Malaysia. What a small world. It was a great party with good food and lots of speeches and toasts (Vodka alldway!). The TV did not show the match (couldn’t find the right channel) but the good company of Sergio, Dina and all the others made Rudy forget the match (with Holland won 2-1!).

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
