Sky Garden and London Adventures! (Part 2)

Hiya!

If you haven't seen yesterday's photos, I suggest you check them out - I'm quite proud of them and there may or may not be a bit of celebrity awesomeness...

But, on with part 2, the writing:

I went up to London yesterday - mainly due to the free ticket to the Sky Garden my mum decided to get for us and my friend.

The Sky Garden is basically a sort of viewpoint/greenhouse area located in that building that was blamed for melting someone's car. Basically, the shape of the building meant that the sun's rays were directed onto a point on the street below, and a poor fella parked their Jaguar there... The architect either didn't use enough brain cells during the designing process, or he just didn't believe the UK could ever be that sunny.

Anyways, I don't know why someone thought that having trees inside the top floors of a skyscraper was necessary. But it was really cool. Very modern - all glass and metal. And the view (360 degrees) of London was amazing. It was a bit foggy, but still, the view was amazing. You've seen the photos.

After a couple hours in there, we went to Trafalgar Square to take photos, and I did not think that I would be in the position where a security guard had to come up to my friend and me to tell us to get down from the wall which we were standing on, but I guess that happened. 

Truth be told, I'm not even surprised. I shouldn't have been standing up on the wall in the first place, but sometimes sacrifices of one's shame have to be made to get the best angle for photography. There are two pictures from that 'better' angle - the ones where I'm looking down upon everyone and the lamp seems to be awfully close.

Also, a bit random, but Death was there. Like, he was beckoning me to come over. Don't worry, I know not to deal with Death. But seriously, the Grim Reaper was in the middle of Trafalgar Square, and parents were paying him for a photo with their child. And he was jamming to pop music, I'm pretty sure I heard Katy Perry...

And talking about celebs, on the way to the M&Ms store I saw Nick Jonas! You know, the singer and 1/3 of the Jonas Brothers? Well, first I only saw a large crowd of screaming teens and young adults, frantically trying to push in front of each other with phones in the air trying to take photos. And me being short and at the back of the crowd, I didn't really know who the famous person was until he went inside the building he was in front of, and I had asked a random fan who the mystery guy was when she had calmed down a bit.

"NICK JONAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!"

That's what her reply would look like, if it was written down.

As I explained in the photo from my previous post, which by the way was my best photo of him, I couldn't see him properly at all. Just a bit of jacket and hair at the best. All I could do was jump up and down at the back of the crowd and take photos, and check every single one of them to see if I got any celebrity snippets at all. I must have looked like a kangaroo straight out of an asylum.

Anyways, as I said he turned around and went into the building he was posing in front of, so I left disappointed that I didn't have a good photo. But that was fine, because my friend and I headed for M&Ms World, and got high off the smell of chocolate for the next half an hour.

And that was the end of the adventure. Well, I went home of course, but I won't bore you with any more details.


I love y'all, and goodbye!
