Day 125 Kazan-Nizhny Novgorod 481/ 38.385 km

Blijf op de hoogte en volg Rudy

23 Augustus 2014 | Rusland, Novogorodovo

On the 23rd we drove on to Nizhny Novgorod and further in the direction of Vladimir (481 km). The roads are good. Sometimes even 4 lanes. We are coming closer to Moscow which also means that there is a lot more traffic, especially trucks. In Novgorod there is again a Kremlin (1500) at the junction of Oka and Volga rivers surrounded by a large high brick wall with 13 towers. The inside is less interesting than the Kazan Kremlin since most buildings are large government offices. They do have a pleasant museum of local art. Starting with 11th century icons and moving up via 17th and 18th century portraits and landscapes to 18th and 20th century impressionists. A welcome change to all the historical stuff. On the way to Vladimir we found again a camp spot on a small side road of the M7.

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
