Summary: NEED INFO: scandinavia to russia?


Hullo there.  I am leaving on August 16 for London, and from there to
Norway.  I will visit a friend in Norway, and then spend the next 4 
weeks doing what I wish.  Any suggestions?  

I went to school in Denmark, so I will stop there for a bit.  I am
very interested, however, in travelling through Sweden to Finland
(say, Helsinki) and taking a tour to Leningrad from Helsinki.

Has anyone out there in net.land traveled to Finland, especially
from Norway or Denmark??  Any suggestions there?

I have been told that the lake region Northeast of Helsinki is some
of the prettiest country in Finland.  Any comments?

And about Russia:  I am a single female and will be travelling by myself.
I (ultimately) would like to wander through Leningrad by myself, since
I abhor groups.  However, I THINK that I will have to sign up with a
heavily-monitored (jargon, anyone???) tour group and be *sammen* with them
EFERYWHERE.  Does anybody know about this???  I have driven through E.
Germany...heavy stuff.  Is the Russian/Finnish border like this??? (I
doubt it).

Thanks.
