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.

    After sleeping this night under the mosquitoes net because of the many mosquitoes in the swamp and the cows, we get ready for the border. But at first preparation of the axel pens, breakfast and then everything on his place.  It’s very warm and humid weather but we can go.
    The border of Huaquilles is a little bit complicated because we have to get stamps from different places. Because of that we drive up and down the road.
    We haven’t seen or known that we had to go to Chacres for the stamps of the Carnet
    de passage.

    welcome to Peru

    welcome to Peru 

    We are in Peru and can stay for 90 days!
    The country side changes quickly if we drive on. It’s getting more steep and the desert is taking more room. We reach the Peruan coast. By the first road we drive to the seat, where we stop to take a coffee. Above us float the fregat birds  and in the sea are pelicans swimming. How nice! At first a cooling dive into the sea, before we can go on to Cancas.
    There we see a little sign of a camping place. It’s an camping place next to the sea, but only the ramp to the sea isn’t ready yet…First the Model T get stuck in the sand en after this the Land rover. Digging will not help so we need the sand plates for under the wheels. After al lot of struggle we relax in the sand and look to a beautiful sunset.
