A charity tour for orphan children

Trudy and Dirk Regter from the Netherlands go on a world tour in a 1915 Ford Model T, covering all continents of the world. They are making this trip with the aim of raising money for orphans worldwide.

To date, they have driven 64,000 miles across 31 countries and have raised more than $45,000 spent on children's projects in Colombia and Bolivia. An earlier trip by Dirk in 2007 from Beijing to Paris in the Model T raised more than $140,000, of which 2 children's projects were built in Mongolia. The last part of their world tour,about 10,500 miles, takes them back home to the Netherlands via Asia. If you support the purpose of this journey, you can take ownership of some of these 10,500 miles of this final leg.

Buy your miles and thus contribute to a better future for orphans.

    October 6th – Day 107

    Posted on 6 October 2012 by Rozemarijn

    Saturday 06 October

    Today we head for Mikumi, about 120km

    Inge’s bead seams to be flat this night, with adding 3 sleepingbags it was ‘almost’ soft enough to sleep.

    Before breakfast we break up the camp.

    In the village we fill the gastanks an go to an ATM for getting some shilling.

    We assume that the truckdrivers get some extra pay for speeding up.

    Aside the road they present a lot of beautiful stuff.

    After the coffeebrake Inge decided to ride the LandRover, its going perfect, Dirk-jan don’t like sitting on the right side without a steering wheel.

    Right before we enter a National Park, the Ford gets very noisy. Dirk can repair this with a piece of wire. Good job.

    No shooting

    In the park we see buffaloes and monkeys, the monkey doesn’t like to be photographed.

    For lunch we find a tree for a little shade.

    At TanSwiss campsite we have a very nice place under a Mango tree.

    Dirk and Inge checks the sleeping bed for a leak, but they do not find a hole in it. Dirk-jan writes some text for the website and Inge and Trudy do the laundry.

    After diner we light the campfire and Trudy gets her guitar.

      Je wilt toch niet beweren dat die vrachtwagen op de foto nog reed?
      Wat een mazzel: vlak VOOR je wordt gewaarschuwd voor gevaar in een natuurpark onder de T-ford moeten sleutelen.
      Toch vond die aap het dus maar gek: maar vlgs. mij is het z’n wijsvinger.
      Ziet er gezellig uit bij het kampvuur.
