Few photos from the way to Asuncion. The most interesting was the police check. We had an official control at the customhouse, but this was not enough. We stopped after this three times to be checked by a single police man. A Bolivian guy had a medicament with him bought in Bolivia for personal use, but no receipt of it. He always had to go out and behind the bus with the police mens and pay everytime around $15 as a bribe to allow him to keep the medicament. I was reading in my guide book few minutes before that Paraguay is the most corrupted country in the world :)
