After coffee they took the bus to the Jardin Exotique. This was built in 1933. The garden was on the side of a cliff looking over the Principality of Monaco. The plants were mostly cactii.
Overlooking Fontvieille, a recently reclaimed piece of land.
The highlight of the trip was a visit to the Grotto. It was 300 steps down into the cave and of course 300 steps back up. Everyone's heart was pumping fast by the time they got to the top.
The stalagmites and stalactites were amazing. The caves were discovered when the gardens were being developed. Awesome...
The views of the Principality from the garden were amazing.
The Grimaldi Palace and Monaco Cathedral.
The Louis - 2 Stadium.
The Port, then looking towards Italy.
Dr Anne and JD headed back to the Casino. They enjoyed the illuminations and music.
In the Casino Hallway.
