Russia to Lativa / Estonia
I'll be coming back from a trip to Russia in July, and will be pretty short of time on the return journey. I'm aiming for either Latvia or Estonia - I'm not particularly fussed which one / where, I would just like to chose the border which is likely to be the least busy.
Does anyone know a suitable crossing, or are they all much the same? I've only crossed the Russia - Estonia border at Ivangorod / Narva which was pretty OK, but it was the middle of winter, and I've heard there can be huge delays in summer...
Thanks
EO

I've crossed in Estonia and Latvia, no big lines either place. In any event, on my bike I usually ride to the front of the line.

It's possible to pre-book your Narva crossing time online to jump the queue.

Thanks for the tip, but this only works when going Estonia ---> Russia, and not the other way.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
