That reminds of a story about an Indian couple travelling Europe. SO, obviously, within the Schengen countries you do not need additional visas, something foreign to said couple. So, they crossed Eu border by train and ended up in another country. Confused over what to do next, they talked to the next police officer they found, because the couple was sure they couldn't just continue their journey without any further control. Explanations didn't work, so the easy solution was to use an official looking, but totally irrelevant, stamp to put on the back of their train tickets (in order to not cause confusion with the tickets or official passports). Source: I know the police officer in question.

How things have changed. Maybe 30 years ago I got stuck in Gibraltar for a few days having returned by ferry from Morocco, because the airport was closed due to weather. No problem for most, as they just bus passengers to the bigger airport in Spain. But a problem for us, because we had run out of entries on our Schengen States visa. It also used to catch a lot of people out on the trains, with people not realizing their passports would be checked mid journey when crossing the borders.
