What a long day but it still amazes me that in 10 hours you have traveled through 3 countries, pretty cool I have to say. The weather looked good most of the trip and how great to have the staple McDonalds to have a little break at. Your dinner sounded delicious though...and probably especially good after fast food all day. Can't wait to hear more of the adventure.

Great start Sabine! Wow, that was a lot of driving - and a lot of McDonalds... is this how road trips work with you guys... McDondalds along the way?

I loved the fact that the first thing you saw when you got into Sweden was an IKEA - classic!

It was in a construction zone and we were barely crawling along, that's why the vehicles are so close together.

Same here About the McDonald's - there really isn't much to choose from when it comes to fast food along highways/freeways in Scandinavia. It's usually McD's and occasionally Burger King. Plus we knew that even McD's would be scarce once we'd get further north so we made sure we got our fast food fix as long as still possible

Your hotel room looked fantastic! Even though it was in the heart of town it didn't seem like one of those cookie cutter business type of hotels. Good for you!

The picture of the banana split made my eyes bug out. Love it!

Sooooooo... which way did you go???

For driving 580 miles and stopping at that many McDonalds, I dub you both an "Honorary Lastwagenfahrer(AKA: Truck Driver)!

Steak pictures would have been nice, but you got the most important meal picture with that fabulous banana split!

Mind you, a McDonald's might be all we can afford... I don't think our planned destination is a cheap one from what I've heard.
