Day 82 Delgerkhaan-Ulan Bataar 328/21.589 km

Blijf op de hoogte en volg Rudy

11 Juli 2014 | Mongolië, Ulaanbaatar

After the usual peanut butter sandwich (Mieke’s Jam is long finished) and Jamaliah’s glass of milk with cereal we set off around 8:45a. Along the way we saw a horse race going on in the hills beside the road. It was a great sight, seeing these horses overtaking each other. When we passed the finish line cars were already leaving so we also decided to drive on and find some festivity further down the road. Unfortunately we only saw cars full of families driving back from activities. Hopefully we will see some tomorrow in Ulaanbaatar. We parked the camper on the terrain of a well-known Overlander stopping point “Oasis Guesthouse”. There were 8 motor riders there and 3 4x4 Overlanders and one large camper. Not as many as I thought they would be. 4 motorbikes did the Pamir some 3 weeks ago. So apparently it is open again. However on the Kirgizstan side they were stopped for 3 days due to a landslide. Now they are delayed here because their tour leader had all his papers stolen out of his Ger. So much for guesthouse security. We will keep our car locked and sleep with our valuables.

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
