.. where Ikea finds a Pig, a Duck and the Sunset on the boat

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!
finally chance to upload some fotografs from my gr8 fun trip to Stockholm, jei! This is part I – few pics from the boat from Tallinn. In fact, it takes all night to go from Tallinn to Stockholm with a boat, so lots of things can happen on the trip – so it is gr8 to take your camera with you. For example, first of all, the boat leaves quite early in the evening. So, if you are lucky, like me, a giraffe, u can have the sun outside. This is really a good thing because then you can go outside on a deck for sunbathe, jei!
Sunbathing is one of my favorite things, as u might know. And it is always a gr8 thing to start off a trip with sunbathing, u know. Because then your trip is already a success and it even hasn’t really started. For exampel, i was already out on the sun deck before the boat left the port! gr8 success!
But, suddenly (i was still sunbathing at the time) i felt that someone is observing me. As it turned out, it was a Pig, peeking out of the cabin window:
hehe, a cheerful-looking pink fellow, don’t you think? :) he was, i’m afraid, a foreigner, because i could not understand a word he was saying. It sure wasn’t any of the languages that we, giraffes can speak. however, it sounded very much fun, so i could say we had a conversation. (a conversation is when two or more animals talk to each other, my friend Leenu says. It’s a lot like talking, but more interesting, but less fun). Except ours was fun too!
One thing that i did learn from mr Pig was that there could be more animals inside these cabins. So i wandered off to peek into windows. Quite soon i discovered one more foreign bird – a Duck of some kind!
We’ll, he looked like a duck to me, what do you think? Again, a foreigner with funny sounding language. It could be Chinese, even? It’s all quite mystery to me because there was no really good way to find out and my good friend Leenu who knows all these foreign words was not with me. We did have a fun conversation with additional making of funny faces, which we, giraffes are quite good at. Lot’s of fun, if you ask me, hehe!
I did not see any more animals in the windows after that, but i did see other ships. Unfortunately it was a bit too dark for my camera and those fotografs were not really good ones. And i did get a really nice fotograf of a ship on my way back!! But i will post it another time! Until then, let me know if you have been on a boat to Stockholm and if you have seen any animals on the boat? Have fun and cu l8r!
.. where Ikea is travelling in Turkey

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!
like i was saying, it took me a while to sort these fotografs from my trip to Turkey. (apparently, “turkey” is also a bird.. but i did not see any birds in fact. only sun and camels, jei!)
so, here’s my selection (there is a lot more, but some of them are not so gr8. like for example the ones from the waterfall that we went to check out this one time. i have to tell u, we were mostly in the Hotel, just sunbathing and eating acacia leaves. but we also did some other fun things. like for example we went to check out this old town called Side, which is about here.
as u can see, it is really quite nice. on the way there, we also went to check out this one local church:
which they tend to call a mosque instead. they are quite nice because of the thin long minarets (that’s the towers u know) which look quite like giraffe’s necks! very nice! here’s me inside the mosque. check out the fun carpet they have manufactured pretty much for giraffes, like me to sit on:
hehe! among other things we found in Side were many houses that had not been properly repaired for quite some time. for example, take a look at this wall:
it has holes everywhere! in fact, most of the rest of the house is – somewhat missing, im afraid..!
or, take a look at this giant amphitheater here:
it is quite clear why this is not working any longer – it does not have a roof. it is not so easy to go to a theater without a roof. especially movie-theatres!
but here’s to the fun part – riding a camel, jei!! this was all back at the hotel in fact.
and also – the waterpark, hehe! although i can tell u that i (a giraffe) don’t like water sports. so therefore i went to the waterpark when it was a bit closed. so i did not get wet, hehe!
so, this was my little trip to Turkey. i did take more fotografs, but they are mostly from my favorite hobby – sunbathe. so they are not so much fun. instead, let me know if u have been to Turkey and where to? Have fun and cu l8r!
.. where Ikea finds sandcastles in Võru

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!
guess what! i have been travelling to south-Estonia, jei! because it is warm in south, it seems to me. so, as i was walking in the park in Võru i saw some really fun things made from sand on the beach! apparently, they are called sandcastles! so, i took some fotografs:
a rectangular (Leenu tells me that it is called rectangular if it looks like a big box, just like the one that Angel likes to hide in) house with Estonian flag on top. it looks like the presidents castle in my home park, Kadriorg, but im not sure..
a round house. it looks pretty much like a tortoise to me, but the sign said it is a house. i personally would not like to live in a tortoise myself. but you can’t live in a house made of sand anyway, so i think it is okay..
it is Munamäe torn, hehe. i only know it because i have been to Munamäe tower. and the Big Egg Hill. but it is not as steep as this one, so u can go up easily. well, maybe not easily because it is quite hard if u run. but u don’t have to run, there are stairs too.
and this big house that looks like bunch of Angry Birds buried in the sand, hehe! my friend Sipsik tells me it is the opera house of Sydney, in Australia. well, i could not tell. there are no giraffes in Australia to ask from, i’m afraid. so i just have to believe her. anyways, the sandcastles are quite a bit fun, because they are smaller than real castles. and they are made out of sand, which is nice because u can do it on the beach, while sunbathing. or someone else can make them, while you are sunbathing, like happened to me. so, it is lots of fun!! i might even try to make some sandcastles myself next time, hehe! have u made any this summer? let me know and have fun! cu l8r!
