For what it's worth, this is my take on crossing the Kaliningrad-Poland border on a bike a couple of years ago:
Beside the Seaside
(I can go on a bit..! You'll find the border about halfway down the page. The queues are something else; what I'll remember most was the kindness.. and drunkenness.. of the Poles and Roosians who urged me to jump the queue. They were unbelievably friendly.)
And I'd recommend kaliningrad to anyone. It has more variety than you might expect. Yes, bits are grey and depressed and very very poor. But there's good spirit, amazing history, and the road from the city south to Poland was *gorgeous*.
Travelbug, I think I understand what you mean by 'country point'. I just don't quite understand *why* ;-)
