Zoo @ Night

In London there's a trend of organizing events in places that usually are closed at night, like museums, parks and in the case in the Zoo. Yes we went to a type of party inside the zoo, with tents of food and drinks, with entertaining shows, carousels and of course lots of animals.
Half of the people there were just for drinking and having a good time, but other half like we were also to visit the zoo and actually see the animals.
The problem was that the summer finished already in April (it would be a glorious event in a summer night) so it was raining cats and dogs while we were there. What saved us was the Butterfly House which was warm (that's why it was full) and dry. And it was fantastic inside, I've never seen so many butterflies together, and so big and beautiful.
They also had the so called Silent Disco. It's a disco where everyone uses headsets to hear the music so that they don't disturb animals. It is awesome to watch everyone dancing.. apparently in silence. :D
It was a great night that we need to repeat to watch the rest of the zoo...and party!!! :D

A view of the wet entrance

Poor guys, they were shivering

Ahh away from the rain

Please don't disturb

The Owl Butterfly - at a glance it really looks like one

It's a beetle's world

Silence Disco - Can you see everyone dancing silently? :D

Finished with a FireShow
