IMO Noedkapp is to crowded place, and finally no the most northern point in Europe. Even its on island Mageroya, am I right? Too commercial place. I've been many times in north Norway, and much nicer places found east from Nordkapp,where Gamvik is, or Varanger. Road in Russia arent nice, i think much wors than polish roads. Forgive me Rurider. Finland is fantastic, beautifull!! See several pic's from June's trip to north:

Some of Russian roads are extremely bad, but some, like from Moscow to Belorussian border are perfect. Also amazing asphalt is in South Russia (Rostov on Don, Krasnodar). In Belorussia I've never seen a bad road, but in Poland I met very "strange" highways with lots of trucks and always with those road signs "tits ahead"
Good Luck!

Well, it's not the best one!
There are couple of places to stay, but not as much as near Poland-Germany border, sure!
There are some nice roads and some (as I said) extremely bad ones. But generally they became much better then some years ago. Month ago I returned from Siberia trip, I've made 7000 km to Tumen through Ekaterinburg and back through Samara and it was just 20 km of bad roads, every 200 km there are nice motels, every 50-70 km gas stations. I ride H-D so when I mean road is OK it is really OK.
My friend told me once: "There are no bad roads, sometimes it's a bad covering!" I think so too.
Btw, one of worst asphalt I so this year in Budapesht on the Buda side, I was near to fall down few times...

Hi,
Does someone know the best route from Odesa to Romania ?
Is there a direct road from UA to RO, or does the only way go through Moldova. Any ferry going from Odesa to Constanta ?
