..where Ikea goes to see triathlon

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea.
I am now trying to post more fotografs more often. so, this is what i did for the weekend – i went to see some other sports called triathlon. Apparently you have to swim, go biking and then run as well. it’s like xdreaming, but more boring, somehow. So this time, i only went to see. I have also seen this guy Tomm on tv – usually when i get up in the morning, he is on tv – so, i had to check out how he is doing.
So, here it is me waiting for the swimmers:


.. and now waiting for bikers:


.. and here i am looking for runners. they are quite slow, hehe :)

i have to say, lot’s of good fun. since i took many fotografs, it takes so long to upload them here that i fell asleep. so instead, please look at for more fotos from Pühajärve triathlon here in picasa.

..where Ikea goes Xdreaming

Hello there, it’s me Ikea! You must have been thinking that i have gone back to Jonköping? Hehe, not really :) Like, for example, couple of days ago, i went xdreaming. As it appears, it is a lot of fun, even for a giraffe, like me. So, here is what happened:

so here i am, waiting for the start. Unfortunately no other giraffes participating today! I think they were afraid because of their long necks might get stuck to a tree when canoeing..

anyway, there a lot of things to do in this competition. for example, here it’s me at a big tower, which is long like a giraff’s neck – see yourself:


so, here i had to go up and then climb down like this guy with this funny hat like this:

I don’t know any other giraffe wearing hats like this when they climb. Or any other animal that i know! Even my friend Muzzy doesn’t wear it, even though he could. From time to time at least, for example when he goes shopping (:


So here it’s me on a mountainbike. Not too many fotografs from me on a bike, because it is very hard to take fotografs at the same time when biking. so, that’s the only one, really.


Next after mountainbiking it’s canoeing. I like canoeing a lot. This is what many giraffes do in Africa when they have free time – they go canoeing. Of course the rivers are much longer, but this is also quite fun because of the trees on the river. you know, i have never tried this canoe-limbo before. it is quite hard, when you have such a long neck, as we, giraffes do. but it is great fun. So, anyway, here i am, looking for shortest way to the river.

Also, i wanted to get away quickly because i saw these Vahuri Inglid coming (on the background). Luckily they had to stop and i was ready to go.
So funny that i have also a friend called Angel. He is an ice-bear. He doesn’t look much like these angels at all..


Here i am marking a point on the canoeing trip. jei!


.. and here after canoeing on a hiking trail..


.. and here i will soon catch this one. It was easy for me to notice these markers in the woods, because they are orange, like me :) Orange is my favorite colour.


Somehow i got stuck here..


Another thing what to do in this competition is swimming. I don’t like swimming very much, i have to say for some reason. but anyway, i will because i want to catch these people there at the buoy, so one-two-free.. here i go!


Right before finish, there was also this funny game of crocket. I have never played this crocket before. It is a little hard for me because normally you have a long stick for these wooden balls. since i only have short legs, i had to use my nose instead and it took some time to get it right!



So, after many hours of fun, it was finish! I don’t have any good pictures of finish, because batteries run out. but anyway, i will post a picture of me eating blueberry. because it was so long day, after a while i got a little hungry. so it was good that there were so many blueberries. they don’t taste quite as well as acacia leaves, but they are all right.

so, c u next time. hej do!

..where Ikea goes to Gran Canaria II


guess what, i have a secret to tell you. actually giraffes drink coke. sometimes hehe :) but look! try to find me on this fotograf:
