19 countries in a day
Yes you read that correctly. Three Norwegians managed to visit 19 European countries in a day.

And that is the point. They did it for fun and with the clear purpose of doing something silly. This is unlike those who seriously want to visit 7 countries in 8 days just so they can say they visited those countries.

"The queue at the border crossing to Kosovo was so long that the three had to abandon their car and sprint across and back, just so they could say they’d set foot there."

Travel involves a lot more than "seeing" some country. I once flew to Stockholm simply so I could take the train from there all the way to Barcelona.
I had to change several times, of course, and I had been to all the cities I had to change in or stay overnight in several times before I made this trip.
If I had had even more time I would have started above the Arctic Circle in either Sweden or Norway and traveled even further south into Spain than Barcelona. I had thought about going to Sicily instead of Spain at one point.
Was my "travel" experience somehow inferior to other people's? As i sat at the opera in Berlin during one of my overnights the thought that what I was undertaking was somehow substandard never crossed my mind I can assure you.

"......Mr Garfors told the Telegraph it was just “a bit of a road trip, if you like”.
Love it! Boys having fun, challenging themselves. What a great bank of hilarious "Remember ...." stories they'll have to share.
Good for them.

There is, of course, a cheat: A country's embassy is considered the sovereign territory of that country. A cab in Washington, DC, or London, or another capital city could allow someone to walk into the embassies of far more countries than 19.
