It was the weekend and I decided to do some touristy stuff in Monaco ….

I made my way to a gardens called Jardin Exotique which was located on .. u guessed it, Jardin Exotique Boulevard.

Here’s a map of the gardens which includes a cave and a museum.

The map of the cave. There was a guide that would lead ppl every hr on the hr. It was a 300 steps climb down and then another 300 back up O_o.

Unfortunately the guide only spoke in French so I do not know what was going on. But the cave looks really fascinating. According to my boss, many many years ago, the first ppl of Monaco used to lived in these caves ….

This was part of the museum display ….

After the gardens, I headed to the Aquarium!

Which is located on the rocks ….

Here’s just a small selection of what I saw ….

Nemo!

This is the skeleton of a whale ….

This one

I headed to a “mall” after the aquarium but it was so pathetic … not many shops at all. So after walking a bit, I headed back to my hotel room …. did a lot of walking that day!

More pics to come ….
