Colombia to Venezuela Border Crossing.
Three days ago we crossed from Colombia to Venezuela via Cucuta/San Antonio. There is currently a blockade on the main bridge which we told would last for 10 days (not sure when it started though). As a result we were directed off the main road, through a "shanty" town on the Colombian side and finally over a very rickety scaffolding brige over the river. We then had to make our way back into San Antonio to complete customs and immigration (or not bothered depending on your motives for being in Venezuela!!). This means that if you are travelling by car or truck rather than by bike, you would not be able to cross here until the blockade is lifted.
Hope this is of use to anybody.
