Hi Folks
Thanks for the replies. The original plan was to get to Estonia by the route mentioned and then cross from Tallinn to Helsinki, along to Turku, up to Vaasa, cross to Umea, down to Stockholm, across to Oslo via Karlstad, down to Gothenburg, down to Copenhagen, down to Hamburg and find the way back to Calais.
But with needing a Russian visa to visit Kaliningrad as you can't get the 72hr visas anymore, i.e. requiring a full Russian visa - the thought was what the hell, get a double one and do Russia.
I kinda really do want to visit Moscow - in my (odd) mind it's like visiting the UK and skipping London. Not sure if that makes sense. Plus the more time spent in Russia - my Russian will hopefully improve.
Plus, next year I want to go further east to Ekaterinburg on a longer trip.
Poland - the plan is to enter around Szczecin and visit Gdansk and then into Kaliningrad, so hopefully not transiting through Poland a great deal.
With the slight (LOL) change of plan due to the Russian visa - I'm not sure 30-35 days is going to be enough to do Finland - Sweden - Norway - Denmark - Germany as the return loop back, with spending 4-5 nights in both Moscow & St Petersburg.
Thanks
Dibs
