Arrival
From Bolivia, Ibobo border crossing, 2016-07-26
Smooth process. Took about 30 min., because everything was very relaxed.

Extremely smooth: our passports were stamped and we handed in the TIP. That was all. Two minutes.
Carnet
Not needed. Handwritten TIP upon entry.

Money
Coming from Bolivia (Villamontes) the first ATM (and opportunity to spend money) is in Mariscal Estigambia. In the east ATMs in abundance. Credit cards generally accepted at fuel stations and supermarkets.
Diesel
Diesel commun (50 ppm) relative inexpensive (less than Argentina or Brazil). In the west fuel stations in the larger communities, in the east overabundant.
Corruption
No incidents.
Roads
RN 9 west of Mariscal Estigambia is extremely bad. Towards the east it becomes gradually better.
