From Mom's Europe trip diary, in the "PLACES VISITED" section:
* According to the "HOTELS STOPPED AT" section of the trip diary, my mother and her friends stayed at the Stadshotellet in Kungsbacka, Sweden this night.
Here's another image of the hotel, from a postcard postmarked in 1952, used with permission of its owner, Leif Gustafsson, from his website:
And here is a May 1948 image of the Kungsbacka church and the Town Hall at Stortorget (the Main Square) in Kungsbacka:

September 10, Thursday – Road between Sarpsborg, Norway, and Kungsbacka, Sweden
Left Norwegian home and drove to Halden [Norway] where we ate breakfast. Spent about 45 min. in a bank trying to get a traveler's check changed into Swedish money. Quite a complicated process which I won't do again. Went through Norwegian and Swedish customs without inspection again. Drove on to Kungsbacka where we spent the night.*
