That’s so sweet. You will have to tell her that Snail is usually one of the first words I learn in another language as well. Don’t ask me why! It could have something to do with cakes though, as in Denmark the cinammon danish pastries were called Snegle (snails!) and here in Munich they have something similar which my children call schneke! :)

Ian Garside says
Why a Snail outside Transport Museum? Is it because it is the slowest form of transportation? Who did the sculpture? I need to know reason. Ian G
Emma says
No idea Ian, quite possibly because it’s the slowest? :)
Pia says
i love the resigned expression on his face :)
bavaria says
Definitely a resigned expression, you are right :)
Susan Mann says
What a great picture x
bavaria says
Thank you Susan :)
SAHMlovingit says
Must be global warming making these snails so big ;)
bavaria says
Definitely :)
Mammasaurus says
It’s going to take a whole lot of salt to take that snail down!
bavaria says
A whole lot of salt, egg-shells or beer. We might need a beer swimming pool! That might be quite nice actually! :)
Sarah @dearbabyg says
wow what a enormous snail! Great shot
bavaria says
Thanks Sarah :)
Elizabeth, Mummy Central says
Yikes, although he almost looks like he is smiling!
bavaria says
I think he’s pretending to smile. There’s only so much climbing on and being mauled a poor snail can take :)
pinkoddy says
I shall endeavour to go there one day now – he is fab :)
bavaria says
Brilliant :)
L-plate Mummy says
Aww I love him! I want one in my garden ;)
bavaria says
Well he would be a talking point with the neighbours ;)
Calendula says
Wish that was a Cadbury’s chocolate egg on its back :)
bavaria says
Gosh, so do I! :)
Midlife Singlemum says
My saighter got al excited about this one. ‘Hilazon’ was one of the first words she learnt in Hebrew when she started nursery.

Really Rachel says
Wow that’s a big snail!!! I wouldn’t like cleaning up after it! Bet the kids enjoyed climbing all over it though

Yuk, neither would I!! But yes, they loved climbing over it thanks! :)

bavaria says
Thanks Actually Mummy :)
Mum of One says
So funny! I think there os something quite loveable about snails in a way.

Me too, I prefer them to slugs any day! :)
@wrigglesandme says
AMAZING!
bavaria says
Thank you Wrigglesandme:)
Rollercoaster Mum says
What a fantastic snail – he’s gorgeous. Quite glad he’s not real and in my garden though!
bavaria says
Me too, although it would be a talking point for the neighbours! :)
claire says
Looks a cool place :)
bavaria says
Thanks Claire :)
CityGirlAtHeart says
Did your kids climb it? Mine would have been swinging off those horns..or are they called tentacles??
bavaria says
They would have done had their teachers not been there! Not sure what they are called to be honest – tentacles horns or feelers?? :)
Mel (MilkChic Breastfeeding Fashion) says
Wow – huge :) I suspect our ones would have spent most of the day trying to climb onto his back!
bavaria says
As would the little ones I was in charge of that day, had we not had to go inside for the school trip :)
Older Mum says
Thats a big snail!
bavaria says

fivegoblogging says

Joanne Blunt says
Wow! That’s amazing!
bavaria says
Thanks Joanne :)
Emma @mummymummymum says
Wow! that looks huge! x
bavaria says
He is pretty enormous, but the children around him are very tiny so that makes him seem even bigger! :)
Herding Cats says
That is one big snail!
bavaria says
Biggest I have ever seen I think :)
mari says

bavaria says
Thanks Sarah, as long as he’s in someone elses garden and not mine, I like him too :)
Kelloggsville says
Big snail, little snow! This seems the correct way round lol
bavaria says
Definitely the right way around, although the forecast looks cold again next week brrrr…. :)
Frau Dietz says
I love him! What an amazing face. But I am glad he is that big because it means it’s unlikely I’d accidentally tread on him. Phobia.
bavaria says
Thanks Frau Dietz. I know what you mean, I hate that squashing shell noise… :/
Kelly says
Brilliant Silent Sunday! Made me smile!
bavaria says
Thanks Kelly :)
