I mean, I guess I can wake up early...for once

Today, I forced myself out of bed around 9:45am. Today was the only day Dave didn't start his tournaments at noon or 1pm, so we knew we should use the available hours to actually do something interesting! We decided to visit the Monaco Exotic Gardens and Observation Cave! Luckily, Dave was still able to roll out of bed at 11:15, and we made it to the gardens by noon!

This is the first picture we have taken together the entire trip! And we aren't photogenic obviously... haha

Cacti! and me looking frumpy in front of the cacti! 

This what my stick drawing trees look like!

Dave's new cactus.

Fishes!

Cacti way taller than I'll ever be.

Look out over the port.

He ain't afraid of no moose! 

That is where the Prince lives!

Stalactites and Stalagmites. Lots of them! This is the Observatory Cave. (Its name comes from the presence of a small astronomical observatory at one time).

It is about 100 m above sea-level, at the foot of the cliff.

Dave looking good in front of some stalagmites! 

I look like I just walked down and up 300+ stairs...oh wait, I did. haha

Everything was really damp; A stalactite dripped on my head.

A stripper pole stalagmite? 

They just look so weird!
