.. where Ikea and Tik try coke from the US!

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

gr8 news! two gr8 news in fact!! first of all, best news EVER – Ikea the Giraffe Traveler was rediscovered and continues his journey in Hamburg! me and my friend Sipsik we were already a little bit worried, because there was no information about him for a while. I guess we can say he was lost! It’s not fun to be lost, if u ask me. Because my friend Angel told us a story about when he was lost in the snow once when he wanted to find out where snow ends. Apparently he went so far away that he did not find his way back in the snow and got lost! It was not fun because he had to walk around in circles and later had to spend the night in the woods with bunch of squirrels throwing fir cones at him. Because he’s white, u know. So, not gr8. Luckily he found his way back again in the morning!

But there is also second very good news! Ikea For the Fun reached New York (one of two destinations). In order to celebrate this, my friend Tik (moon rabbit) got two cans of coke that is from USA! It is called a Vanilla Coke! It has a vanilla taste, if u ask me, but it’s OK. Cheers! Now Ikea For the Fun has to find a way to Madagascar, somehow. Perhaps u can help? Are you geocaching perhaps? Let me know if u are heading to Madagascar any time soon, maybe you can help? 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!
