cheers Miss E x You are correct, the guard guards the guards to stop people like me taking pesky snaps I can see no other reason

Why did I want to visit the country?
Well I have my personal odyssey, to visit each of the former 15 republics of the USSR, I now only have Belarus to visit. I have also completed my secondary quest of visiting each of the countries that were behind the "iron curtain" I am fascinated by that part of the world. I first visited Russia as a 16 yr old student for two weeks and fell in love, I guess it is the longest love affair I have been in!
