Go that far west, and you are in the middle of the Atlantic, just about halfway to North America, past the Azores.

Go that far east, and you are practically at the Ural mountains, just before the western part of Siberia.

Go that far north, and you pass Nordkap at the northern tip of Norway and are in the Arctic Ocean

Go that far south, and you cross into North Africa, past Marrakesh in Morocco.

For any road trip THAT long, you deserve to be rewarded with a memorable scene or two!
