Janaline's World Journey “To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.”

The Alexander Gardens in front of the Kremlin

I love that the soldiers really do lift their legs waist high when they march along, just like in the movies!

Guard changing places

The guards who have just finished their shift marching off again

The Kremlin guards all look so serious. I cant think that it is a great job having to stand still for a couple of hours in the 5 degree cold of Moscow.

Hang in there and look serious! It looked like this guards superior was pinching his cheek on inspection!!

After the big change each guard gets inspected
