Dirk and Trudy regter dressed laid thick over 85,000 kilometers during their trip around the world, but are now safely back in Edam.

The Dutch couple departed on 22 June 2012 and was thus nearly three years away from home. They visited a total of some 50 cities and saw all of the continents, Antarctica. Sounds impressive? Yes, but it is still cool that these two heroes the monstertrip performed in a model T Ford in 1915 and collected money for SOS children’s Villages.

The choice for that mode of transport seems to be striking, were it not for the grandfather of Dirk by the Netherlands was rent in the Ford Model T. Dirk completed in 2007, is already the famous journey from Peking to Paris, also in the antique Ford, but had obviously still not enough. That is also after the recently completed trip, incidentally, is still not the case.

Dirk and Trudy are going in 2016 again to get in the car for a decent trip. The journey begins in New Zealand and ends at home on the couch, in Edam. Until that time, they can enjoy their four grandchildren, who she now, for the first time can see. In addition, they finally have the ability to make the Ford a little to restore, because the old beast has a way of course quite affected.
