It&#8217;s me, Ikea!<\/p>\n<p>ooh, did anyone mention that i have been busy lately? well, guess what! the good news is that besides being busy, i have also been travelling, jei! This time Egypt! Although, i must say it was mostly just hanging around in a Hotel, but that&#8217;s ok too. For a giraffe! and i took some fotografs!!<br \/>\nSo, lets start from the beginning. Good news number 1: the pool.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ikeathegiraffe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/DSC_4468.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1753\" alt=\"DSC_4468\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ikeathegiraffe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/DSC_4468-1024x680.jpg\" width=\"620\" height=\"411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ikeathegiraffe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/DSC_4468-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ikeathegiraffe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/DSC_4468-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>we, giraffes are very much into pools. we don&#8217;t like swimming a lot, as you <a title=\"..where Ikea goes to see triathlon\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ikeathegiraffe.com\/blog\/where-ikea-goes-to-see-triathlon\/\" target=\"_blank\">might know<\/a>, but still, pools are gr8, if u ask me! Especially the ones which have a giant Frog sitting inside. High five, frog!<br \/>\nSecond good news about the hotel was this &#8211; guess what &#8211; they had statue of a giraffe in the driveway!!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ikeathegiraffe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/DSC_4715.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1755\" alt=\"DSC_4715\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ikeathegiraffe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/DSC_4715-1024x680.jpg\" width=\"620\" height=\"411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ikeathegiraffe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/DSC_4715-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ikeathegiraffe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/DSC_4715-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is like best news ever from a hotel in Egypt! And they even don&#8217;t have many giraffes in Egypt. Only zoos maybe..? But they have camels, i can tell u that much, hehe!<br \/>\nGood news #3: really loooooooong bridges, like a looooooooong giraffe&#8217;s neck. But u cannot walk on a neck, i&#8217;m afraid. Or sit on it, for that matter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ikeathegiraffe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/DSC_4969.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1756\" alt=\"DSC_4969\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ikeathegiraffe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/DSC_4969-1024x680.jpg\" width=\"620\" height=\"411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ikeathegiraffe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/DSC_4969-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ikeathegiraffe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/DSC_4969-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Good news number FOUR: The Sunshine!

Especially in the wintertime &#8211; not as much sun here in Estland in the winter, i&#8217;m afraid. Also a bit colder, it seems! Like minus 22 last night, hehe!<\/p>\n<p>Also, quite fun: hotel at night! See if u can spot the giraffe (it&#8217;s me) in this fotograf:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ikeathegiraffe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/DSC_5106.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1759\" alt=\"DSC_5106\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ikeathegiraffe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/DSC_5106-1024x680.jpg\" width=\"620\" height=\"411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ikeathegiraffe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/DSC_5106-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ikeathegiraffe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/DSC_5106-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>ok, it was not that difficult. Still quite nice, don&#8217;t u think?<\/p>\n<p>So lots of sunshine and other fun things in Egypt! I took lots of more fotografs but my friend Sipsik asked not to put all of them in my blog. It may be because they are mostly about me and this giraffe statue, hehe :)<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately had no chance to go geocaching this time, but maybe next time? But I have to say also that only 7 caches in this area, <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sharm_el-Sheikh\" target=\"_blank\">Sharm el sheikh<\/a>! Have u been there?
