Hotels
• Booked on-line
• Not completely precious about parking but big city hotels wanted car parks
• Riga stayed Pullman Hotel in old town, underground car park
• Tallin Merchants House Hotel in old town. Parking was 200 metres away. Apart from Russian plated Brabus there were a couple of Ferraris. Not guarded but had no problems
Roads
• I had no problems with surfaces
• Driving standards aren’t brilliant, just be careful
• Always, always, always check both ways at green traffic lights before proceeding
Notes
I have driven across Poland from both Russia and Belarus in the Morgan coming down from St Petersburg/Moscow and crossing into Poland at Brest. Stayed Poznan & Warsaw
Route through Poland depends on how much time you have. The eastern side towards Belarus is beautiful. It's a big country
Note coming from UK Kaliningrad is tricky, last time I checked you had to stay at least one night when transiting.
