Especially the trip in Africa. While you were there, did you happen to stumble into any Jatropha Curcas plantations? I'm really fascinated with the tree's oil yield and how it can be interspersed with food crops such as soy beans without occupying any additional space. Anyway, let me know if they're using jatropha curcas in Africa. Very interested in your photo expose. Especially the trip in Africa.

I've found your blog in one of mine "going arround the web insomnia nights" and I have to say - it's fantastic. I would love to have a w123 (a t modell, or the sedan) and i've found one or two in good shape, but most of the existent ones here (I'm Portuguese) are either in a bad shape, ready to go to a junk yard, or very well guarded in a garage to used as a week-end car, and those are a bit too expensive for me... Anyway, I haven't given up finding one for me, and who knows, take it in a few adventures too... Just wanted to wish all the best and for you to keep criusn' the world =) Best resgards from Portugal!

Strong, big but with all this is very easy to drive. I had a few crashes with my old 300D w124, and my car remaines almost intact, compare to the others. I drived it through mud roads, rocky road, forest roads, roads where few cars can go, and it was no difficult for my 300D with Hankook w440 tires. Now I bought a w124 250D (because of the lower taxes in Romania). I wish you all have nices journeys and no problems. w123 is the best car ever made.

You have been a truly inspirational traveler to learn from; I am looking forward to the day I go from Alaska to Argentina in my trusty 1982 W123 300TD, or perhaps a G-Wagen. You can check some diary entries and pictures at http://300TD.blogspot.com/ Thanks and keep up the blog! Would love to see more soon! -Miguel Llorente Hello Jurgen,

Ziet er echt fantastisch uit! Nu heb ik voor jou een specifieke vraag. ik heb gezien dat jullie jullie hond overal mee naartoe nemen. hebben jullie dat ook gedaan in Afrika en zo ja was dit te doen en welke specifieke voorbereidingen hebben jullie daar voor moeten nemen? Hartelijk dank en beste groeten, Filip Hallo Jurgen,
