Otto, the G-Wagen





A lifetime-long adventure... or adventure as life-style... anyway, such a worth-life for Christine and Gunther...

The couple originally planned to spend just 18 months touring the African countryside in their Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen named “Otto,” but a year and a half eventually turned into a continuous voyage interrupted by only a few periods of rest.

In my humble opinion: simply The Best vehicle in the world, period.
