“They said you can easily go to Kaliningrad… no problem with Visa and so on... that‘s true .. BUT .. custom procedures were endless.. 3.5 hours for a few cars and a few bikes.. no English papers .. just Russian in Kyrillian writing ???.. one needs the help of people in line. All of them are helpful to speed the line up as one said???. So now everything’s fine, ? up… let’s go find some food.”
