Travelling from Russia to Denmark, via Finland, Sweded - Horizons Unlimited

**Fuzzy Duck** · #1 8 Sep 2003

Hi Guys

My guidebooks don't cover Finland, etc so I was wondering how easy it is to get back into Western europe from Russia via Finland, Sweden and Denmark.

I seem to remember these countries aren't using Euros - someone told me there's a ferry from Helsinki to Sweden - but no details on cost for me and bike.

Does green card insurance usually cover these countries - I guess I'll need to ask my insurance company that one... but any help will be much appreciated - I plan to head out of Russia in a couple of weeks.

I came via Poland, Lithuania and Latvia - all OK except Russia - insurance bought at border seems very pricey if not paying in Roubles - I think I got stung for 80 euros or something for just 4 weeks. It might be better to buy insurance before you get there...

Thanks
