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.

    October 9th – Day 110

    Posted on 9 October 2012 by Rozemarijn

    Tuesday 9 October

    Today is a rest day. No driving.

    This night we used the sleeping bags for the first time. That’s because it’s 1800m above sea level.

    Trudy does the laundry, the water is heated by a wood fire. Works perfect

    Dirk-jan and Inge are working on the reports for the website.

    The mattress is still leak, today we try a type of glue..

    Dirk has edited the routing of the fuel piping. Now it’s totally outside the chassis U-profile. So less heat of the exhaust.

    After winning some information, we decided to edit the route throughZambia, first we want to go toMalawi, ride beside the Lake, and go more south into Zambia heading Lusaka.

    We end the day by tasting different kinds of African beer

      Lekkere biertjes zo te zien. Maar je zit erbij alsof je er alleen maar naar mag kijken. Was je zakgeld echt helemaal op na je bekeuring?
      Oh, en oog voor techniese details heb ik echt niet. Bij de foto van de omleiding voor de brandstof zie ik alleen maar een stuk touw. Wel een goed idee!!
      Maar Dirk is ook nog nooit voor één gat te vangen geweest.
      Groetjes allemaal!
