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.

    Report 14 October

    After a firm breakfast we continue our trip to the end of the world through the nature parc Torres del Paine

    It’s quiet in the parc and for a while we are following our route who should bring us to our next destination. We’re expecting an obstacle due construction work on the road, but instead we see things we saw before and we are exactly on the same road as where we started! We decide to give Ana a phone call to ask if we can stay another night in her Guesthouse.

    Good thing about it is that we can visit a Gaucho, a kind of shepherd.

    Na een goed ontbijt vervolgen we onze reis naar het einde van de wereld via het natuurpark Torres del Paine.

    Het is rustig in het park en we volgen al een tijdje de weg die ons uit het park richting onze vervolgroute zou moeten brengen. We verwachten een obstakel op de weg vanwege wegwerkzaamheden en hebben te horen gekregen dat we misschien wel terug moeten rijden.
    Echter komen we geen wegwerkzaamheden tegen en zien we herkenbare punten waar we eerder zijn langs gekomen. We zijn weer precies op dezelfde weg als waar we begonnen waren! We besluiten om Ana te bellen of we nog een nacht in haar Guesthouse mogen blijven.

    Voordeel is wel dat we nog een gaucho kunnen bezoeken. Een soort schaapsherder.
