.. where Ikea goes to Seaplane Harbour

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

guess what! had very much fun last weekend in the Seaplane Harbour It’s a Museum. It’s actually supposed to be a museum of all kinds of ships, but it also has other things. Like planes and boats. And mines and guns and half a tank!! Luckily none of them are used, but for you to look at. It is very new and I had only little time, so I plan on going there again sometimes. Therefore i only took couple of fotografs. But you can see from here, the museum itself is inside these huge egg-shaped buildings:

this is a model actually, the actual building is really really huge. even bigger and taller than ten giraffes! but it looks really cool inside:

i’m sitting on a mine, should you ask. it’s not a real one though, more like playmine – look at the colours! but there’s lots more, for example a real submarine!! So, in case you are into this kind of fun things, check it out. It’s in Tallinn and by the sea – so quite easy to find because you only need to find the sea and then follow the coastline. Even the Teddies could find it, i think. Have you been to museum like this before? or any other museum lately? Let me know! Have fun and cu l8r!

.. where Ikea is watching the 1st Tallinn Marathon!

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

almost missed todays post! but i have been extremely busy lately. like for example, this weekend it was the first real city marathon in Tallinn! jei! it’s gr8 thing, because i like running a lot, u know.  and the gr8 thing about it was that, this time, the event was going right past my home neighborhood, Kadriorg!! so i got up quite early morning and went out to cheer everybody and do a bit of running myself, hehe! also, my friend Sipsik was running. not the marathon, but there were other races too, like 10K, for example. unfortunately i don’t have too many fotografs because i was so busy cheering and nobody had time to take fotografs, i’m afraid..
but here’s one from the finish area, after the races, so it turned out well it seems to me. what about you? have u been doing any marathons lately? let me know! have fun and cu l8r!

ps. it is not zero degrees, it’s actually more like 20*C, hehe

.. where Ikea goes to Tallinn Zoo!

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

i wanted to tell u about my trip to Tallinn Zoo! Finally! but, i have to tell u that they don’t have a giraffe i’m afraid. that’s basically the main reason we have not been to Tallinn Zoo yet.

so this time, because the weather was REALLY nice we went to check it out. and i have to tell u i mostly wanted to see ice-bears and maybe some wild cats. i can tell u right now that we did not see any wild cats, because of the weather. it was too hot for them, it seems to me. but we did see one ice-bear! Polar bear, in fact:

his name is not Angel, if u ask me. i think his name is Nord. but he was quite busy walking around so we did not get a chance to ask… again, i did not get a really good fotograf because my friend Sipsik had to go to see some birds. but i wanted to take some pictures for Angel. he could not come because he was hiding in the bamboo basked since last time of hide-and-seek, hehe!

but here’s some more animals we did see. a large BULL elephant for example up here. and down here, a bunch of LLamas. sleeping, mostly.

then there were also some other animals but i did not get really good fotografs because they were hiding. This one llama told me that usually they have this big game of hide-and-seek on Saturdays, so most probably half of them were out there playing. it sounds reasonable to me. so we’ll have to go maybe next time again. or, like my friend Undu, he likes to follow the cameras. but i did get to meet an Angry Bird, hehe!

other than that, it was all good fun afternoon. naturally we also had some ice-cream (my favorite) and when everybody else was muching on theirs, i got a chance to take a litte sunbathe, jei!

what about your good self? did u visit some Zoos lately and, most importantly, did u meet giraffes? let me know in comments! have fun and cu l8r!
