That is interesting Oberon, but no thx. I like to have an argument,too and in the end I will get handcuffed and pinned to the ground again.
My plan is to skip the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad. I have made my own experiences with Soviet-style border control when I travelled from Romania to Moldova. Also, a friend of mine tried to visit Kaliningrad once with his father who was born there before 1945. He told me that at the checkpoint you have to bribe those 18 years' old boys in uniforms with Kalashnikovs with US dollars, or they won't let you in. I don't need that.
I always wanted to visit Helsinki and I am really looking forward to this. Suomenlinna, that is the sea fortress, UNESCO world heritage site, popular with tourists, right? I will go there.
