As it happens my passport has been to about 8 countries and has no stamps in because UK citizens don't get stamped entering Schengen (though I think they will if you ask) and there are almost no border checks within Schengen - I would say there are none but I think they do pop up occasionally.
San Marino is off for now on account of being a pig to get to from Florence (at least by public transport). So it'll be a nice simple trip to Italy this Autumn and then some crazy route to the FT Do in Nuremberg next year... Something like LHR-Sarajevo, Mostar, Zagreb, maybe Ljubljana. And I might get the train home via Luxembourg. How are you guys getting to Andorra?
If you go to Luxembourg, you stand a very good chance of getting a border check and even a stringent customs control. When I was at the Luxembourg Opera, I took the train from Basel to Luxembourg a few times, and I regularly met the garden gnomes of the three countries you pass through, Switzerland, France and Luxembourg. Needless to say, they are probing to see if you are moving cash around between undeclared accounts. It made me realize that the borders of Europe are very much still there, even more so than before.
