Just after 10am we headed back to the hotel, checked out, and then caught an Uber to Friendship Bridge to cross over the Paraná River.


After being stamped out of Brazil, we began the walk over the 550 metre wide bridge.


And outside migration where we were stamped into Paraguay. The local residents on both sides of the bridge are free to pass back and forth without their passport so there was no queue for migration and we were the only ones there.


A short walk away was Ciudad del Este, the second largest city in Paraguay. The border city is frequently visited by Brazilians on day trips, taking advantage of the lower taxes and discounts.


The outline of a familiar looking building on a 'Dubai Shop' sign.


Definitely an interesting mix of goods for sale!
