IF YOU GO BY BUS, THE CITY OF VYBORG IS THE POINT OF ENTRY TO ST. PETERSBURG FROM HELSINKI. We had to go through 4 checkpoints at the border. We waited within reasonable time in my opinion. Remember our 2002 tour just started when Communist Russia just lifted its Iron Curtain. The young teenage looking soldiers were very nice. It did not take much to please them. Barry from Manchester, our tour director, gave his ballpen to the soldier. It's a no man's land on the road to St. Petersburg, about 5-hour drive. I enjoyed looking at the tall thin birch trees along the way - reminded me of that one scene in Dr. Zhivago where the soldiers were looking for a militant group in the forest.
