"VWdiaries" The VWdiaries is a website dedicated to fans of the Volkswagen. www.vwdiaries.com

The VWdiaries follows the journey of Volkswagen fans and their classic 1960’s beetle as they travel through Ethiopia. The 8-day inaugural trip, which starts on October 15, 2012, is only the beginning of what will hopefully become an annual quest to discover Ethiopia’s many known historical, cultural and scenic routes. The overall theme of this maiden trip is to have fun while enjoying the adventur

e of travelling behind the wheels of Volkswagen Beetle; this unassuming car will provide the excellent backdrop for the natural and architectural beauty of Ethiopia. Every day during this journey, the team will upload daily diaries and photos from the day on www.vwdiaries.com as well as on facebook and twitter accounts. (www.facebook.com/vwdiaries and www.twitter.com/vwdiaries)

The team will not only take in the culture, but will also give back by planting trees in a selected area in Addis Ababa one tree for every 100 kilometres driven and cities in which the nights are spent. For the first trip the team has chosen the “Classic Route” (Addis Ababa-Dessie-Lalibela-Mekelle-Axum-Gondor-Bahir Dar-Debre Markos-Addis Ababa) which covers more than 2,500 km.

Seized in a military coup after almost a year of festering discontent with his regime, Haile Selassie, who was accustomed to Rolls-Royces, was hustled from his spacious palace to an army officer's bungalow in the back seat of a blue Volkswagen. The final confrontation between the aged and frail Emperor and the young and robust army men was like a scene from a Verdi opera. Haile Selassie scolded and insulted the officers as insolent, and they, with mounting ire, decided on the spot to take him to a military camp rather than to another palace. And on the way, he was jeered by crowds yelling: "Thief! Thief!"
