Well...33 countries that I can think of. Most of them in Europe. In one day...Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Belgium and France. Drove from above the Arctic Circle (Finnish/Soviet border - 1983) to Goteborg, Ferry to Denmark, and train to Paris. Quite a day!

See earlier posts for discussion on this question. Did you do any sightseeing, or at least take a leak, in any of those countries?
