Best way to travel by far!
A bit of a long hot wait at the boarder authority. They will do photocopies there if you can’t sort out before arrival.

5 star service!
I couldn’t fault the service received and managed by Mario and Juan.
They took care of everything through both sides of passport control. I didn’t even have to visit the immigration window.
The boat trip was great! (Mario even carried my bike through the water to board the boat!)
Wonderful, rapid crossing! A lot of fun! What a great way to cross borders!
(Immigration took no more than 20 minutes either side for us).
