Geocache Description:

Let the Little Prince lead you to Eilat's Botanical Garden

These are not the coordinates of the cache. In order to find the correct coordinates you must answer these questions about St. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's book "The Little Prince":

1. What was the name of the tree that the Little Prince worried might destroy his planet?

The letter that is found 3 times in the tree's name is #3
The letter that is found 2 times in the tree's name is #2
The letter that is found 1 time in the tree's name is #0

2. What object did the adults think the author's drawing of a boa eating an elephant was?

The first letter of this object is #4
The last letter of this object is #5

3. What type of flower does the Little Prince love and take care of?

You do not have to enter the botanical garden to find the cache, but we highly recommend that you do. Besides seeing a unique botanical garden in the desert which includes water falls, a rainforest and pleasant shady areas with wood benches and swings you can also see one of the trees that worried The Little Prince.

UPDATE DEC. 2012:
After speaking to the owner of the Botanical Gardens, we learned that there is an outside gate that closes in the late afternoon / evening. In order to allow access to the cache at all hours, we have moved the cache to a new location, right outside the gate. The final coordinates have been updated accordingly.
