. Dette gjelder for inntil 8 dager og foreløpig kun fjernt i øst, Kaliningrad og Leninskaya Oblast (St. Petersburg fylke) og i praksis kan man gjøre en rundtur fra Tallinn, over Narva (grenseby) nordover gjennom St. Petersburg og inn ved Vyborg til Finland. Et slikt visum stiller ikke krav til booking av overnatting eller "detaljstyring" av turen sålenge en holder seg innenfor de 8 dagene (du vil ikke overstå et visum i Russland).
En liten dags kjøring til startpunkt og deretter ei langhelg i Kaliningrad før en dagsreise hjem igjen. Burde vel kanskje la seg gjøre allerede i mai
Ned over i Europa også i de Østlige landa fra Kroatia å ned mot Tyrkia.
