Ponta Pora
We arrived by coach on Saturday night in Ponta Pora, the chief border town between Paraguay and Brazil . In fact, we got off the bus in Paraguay and walked across the road into Brazil. Amazingly, the Border Police don´t work weekends and so the next day we had to go to the official´s private house to get our passports stamped. Fortunately, we got there early as the woman was on her way out! This is just one example of why it´s not a ...
